Haye: It's been confirmed, I'm fighting Wladimir

[Kev]

Are we all willing him to fail?

[TitoFan]

I want a good fight..... a fight we'll be talking about for years. Is that too much to ask?

[generalbulldog]

I'll believe it when I see them in the ring getting instructions from the ref.

At this point I just want a fight. We've been talking about one for years
Here's to hoping everything is finally settled for real, though.

He is, without doubt, one of the the most unpopular world champions we have ever had.

Wlad even picked up on it in his interview last week, claiming some Brits he was speaking to told him they wanted him to beat Haye and I don't even think he was making it up. If he asked me, I'd be wishing him the best of luck too.

Unpopular was probably the wrong word...

He 'splits opinion' more than most.

Haye is absoultely loved by the general public and media. He is one of the most popular champions i've ever seen. Only a small group of hardcore fans have a problem with him.

He may be popular in London, where you actually see his fans but hes not that well known a boxer. He doesnt get any exposure other than on sky.

If I were a promoter id have my fighters on talk shows and even cameos on the soaps, like Eastenders or Coronation Street, just so the general public become familiar with their names and may take an interest in watching them fight.

I see that Warren is desperately trying to recreate a rivalry like Benn v Eubank between Groves and DeGale but unless non sky subscribers get to see them in their build up, its not going to happen. People arent going to go out of their way to watch them if they have no clue who they are.

I should have just said that all this build up in the boxing media, like ringside and the sport pages is like advertising a new beer in a pub. Youd have to already be a drinker to notice it.

David was on Celeb Millionare over Xmas......

No-one watched it but me but nonetheless he was on it

Long gone are the days of Benn - Eubank etc.

Groves v Degale is a cracking matchup but again joe public knows nothing about either.

For the record in that one...Degale schools him

....all the better then, because Wlad's going to beat the everliving crap out of him.
