Tony Bellew Talks David Haye, Heavyweight Division, Confirms Meeting With the UFC

[GaMo]

neither fighter had anywhere to go except rematch - and with question marks over ending of first made it all that easier

I can see same outcome as don't reckon Haye's body is up to it - unless he can spark him in 3-4 rounds.

That’s not true, Bellew had choices... they all involved him getting savagely beaten and probably knocked unconscious but still they’re choices

Hey, we've all got choices. I could choose to jump in front of a train, but I ain't likely to.
I don't think it's anything to do with getting knocked unconscious, it's just down to Money, pure and simple.
If he had choices and Haye never, why would he choose him?

[Batman]

I can't help but think that this fight should be nothing more than a massive flop, Hearn says that they were looking at other options but the fans and everyone that they spoke to were calling for this fight and this is the one that the public wants.

I just can't see it, I can't imagine even the casuals (god I'm sick of using that word when discussing boxing) buying it this time.

[GaMo]

No different to Mayweather vs McGregor... it’s just a money fight with no meaning in the division

[X]

True, this is a fight with as much real meaning as Mayweather v McGregor.

Haye was always a superb athlete with excellent power, but he never properly learned how to box. He has always had technical flaws, and his unorthodox training methods haven't done his body much good. Thing is, after his divorce, he needs a couple of good paydays before he swans off to reality TV.

Bellew has made the most of his pretty mediocre talent. Two big paydays against a part timer is much better than getting his face smashed in by Oleksander Usyk.

[Fenster]

Bellew is a much bigger star after the first fight, the funker is never off the telly (other sporting shows and the like) and doing award shows and premiers and what not. What with the drama (dream stuff for the general/casual fan - man with one leg, heroics, knockdowns, KO) and the question mark that it left this will be lapped up.

You lot all hate Bellew and Haye but they're two of the most popular/famous fighters in the country. Their tickets sales and viewing figures piss all over anyone that's not AJ. And you just have to watch that latest press conference to know why - expert salesmen (just look at Eddie and Adam Smith's boats).

[Master]

All those wankers in one room makes me feel like vomiting. Smiling all the way to the bank with their con job poor man's version of Floyd v McGregor.

Sky with all its channels and millions will sell it for all it is worth does not mean that the fight is any good or worth merit.
