Why David Haye simply MUST fight Audley Harrison next

[boxingbantz]

I hear Sky Box Office want you to go on a national promotional tour to sell this fight to the people.

Wow, just wow.

I posted that this should happen on another thread


My argument had holes in I guess but now you have plugged them all

Everyone will remember where they were this summer - wembley here we come

You said what my subconcious had been thinking!

Let's get it on!

I picked up a SRR biagraphy at the market last weekend, £1 It cost. I asked the guy if he had any more boxing books, he said he had an Audley Harrison one, I chuckled and walked on.

That is all.

When you put it like that fantana you do have one point which is money but really there is no real justification for the fight.

Yeah not any more because Lance Whittaker is back! Sure he suffered a knock down, but he rallied to win a UD.

Huge Haye fan met him had a laugh with him got his autograph, If Haye takes this fight I hope he gets knocked out.

I can't see them selling out Wembley but they could fill the O2 or the MEN. The real potential in this fight is the Sky PPV money though. If they did 1.5 million buys then that's £22.5 million. Sky would keep about half that and the VATman would get a chunk off the top but that would leave nine or ten million for the promotion. To put that inperspective the "Klitschko brothers" make about one and a half mil from German TV per fight. So Haye is in a position where he's able to make more money than the Klitschkos do by fighting Fraudley. He can always fight one of the "brothers" after the Audley fight, they're both desperate to get their sewn-on hands on a chunk of that Sky PPV cash.

But you can't blame him for thinking about the Audley fight before he fights one of them. It's a short career, Sky obviously want to do it and would give the fight huge promotion, once he loses he won't have the same earning power and he can get 60-70% of the split against Audley with a guaranteed rematch clause should Audley spark him. He wouldn't be human if he wasn't thinking about the possibility. Look at some of the stiffs the "brothers" have been fighting recently, Audley isn't that much worse than some of them.

Audley would have gotten schooled by everyone the Klitschko's have recently fought maybe bar Sosnowski but the guy showed a decent chin vs Vitali...still he's the only one that's close to Audley's level
