I think Ruiz was always on the card as part of the "step aside" arrangement, its another payday.

oh yeah sorry i remember reading something abt that, so if valuev wins he fight ruiz (i cant wait) if haye wins he fights ruiz (oh i just cant contain myself)

One more reason why we want Haye to win, to finally retire Ruiz, who would want to watch a third fight between Valuev and Ruiz?

[Drago]

cant see ruiz keeping haye off him! so better if haye beats valuev for everyone|

the only good thing anyone seems to say abt valuev is that he is big!

Say what you want about John Ruiz, but IMO he beat Evander Holyfield twice and pretty convincingly aswell, even flooring him and having him on queer street. And this was the same Evander Holyfield fresh off his two fights with Lennox Lewis, the same Evander Holyfield who Lennox Lewis gets so much credit for beating, even though some believe they should be 1-1.

[Master]

Ruiz is shite, he faked being hit low by Holyfield and pummeled in 30 seconds by Tua, stop making him out to be better than he is.

Me too. I think the night Tyson fought Holyfield they called it judgement night and we had Eubank and Hamed on over here before they crossed over to the U.S.

Might be wrong as it was a while ago and I was only 12! 90% sure though.

Does anyone know the approximate start time for the Haye vs. Valuev fight ??

I see Sky Box Office coverage begins at 9pm but they will probably kick off with the poor undercard named today.

Got a few mates round for the fight and just basically need to know roughly what time the fight is on and whether the fight will start at some ridiculous hour to suit the US ??

german main events usually get going around 11ish

expect them to be in the ring around that time

That's the WORST undercard i've ever seen for a Brit PPV. Shocking.

[skel1983]

I dont understand why the fuck this is on PPV??

Haye hasnt actully got any fans??

Dont you think it's a good idea to let these fights be free to air so more people tune in and build him up.

Khan got 30k ppv's cant imagine how shit this ppv will do.

To be honest mate, it's only a bad matchup for people who know how bad Valuev is.

The general public sees a British HW going to fight a giant. I've heard a lot of casual fans talking about it & being quite excited. Plus if it's not on at a ridiculous time, it will benefit. As bad as Khan-Kotelnik did, Khan-Barrera did very well, because Barrera had the profile to help raise the event for your average fan.
