David Haye-Arnold 'The Cobra' Gjergjaj - May 21/London 02

[ross]

at least the nobody hate is fighting isn't a nobody with a shit record

Freudian slip

[Master]

As long as it is free Haye can fight Joe Bugner for all I care.

David is being busy, active and filling stadiums.

Lovely jubley.

Who? This is like old school matchmaking before we got access to all the fighters records/footage. Just pick a guy with a pretty record that has zero substance to it.

David Haye to face Arnold 'The Cobra' Gjergjaj on May 21 | Boxing News | Sky Sports

Why are you always right? Haye is playing the 60's and 70's game with Eastern European opponents, who we have never heard of. No different to the Klit dominations of the 90's onwards, which did the same as warren lawless etc, before, hand picking opponents en route to a title shot, along with bribing governing bodies.

Nothing much changes does it? At least it will be some brits doing it for the next few years, we might even get it on free telly!

If he fights Joe Bugner I'll be there!!!! I'm his No. 1 UK fan (alright he's my age). Memorabilia a speciality.....

I'm not going to call the Gjergjajgergagjeraj bloke a bum, I'm not going to knock him at all, other than his name is unpronounceable I don't have anything against him and you can't really blame him for his name.

His opponent though is a cunt

The reason ive been calling him Zsa Zsa as its close to how iv heard his name pronounced.

Shannon Briggs was up to his usual tricks again. This time calling out David Haye as his latest press as long as he passes his brain scan.

" on another point, I've heard a rumour that Haye said he'll donate some of his purse to Nick Blackwell.
If he does that, I'll forgive him for this fight, and give massive respect to him.
BUT, if he now doesn't or gives a relatively small amount , then I will be the first to royally slate him for shameless publicity.
I'm happy to wait and see on that score.
"
Just listened to the press conference . He's giving 10% of the gate receipts to Nick Blackwell. That's a pretty substantial gesture in my book. Fair play to him, credit where credit's due.
I understand some cynical people will say it shameless publicity, and that's their opinion.
What I would say is we all know he doesn't need to do that , he'll sell it out anyway.

Haye markets himself very well, he also promotes himself, he can also box a bit, whats not to like?

Hayemaker Promotions have confirmed that Sheikh Fahad Bin Khalid Al Thani, a member of the ruling family of Qatar and the country’s first ever professional boxer, will make his debut on the undercard at The O2.

Al Thani fights at super lightweight.

If I was a cynic I'd say there's money in this.....

People are knocking him for fighting this fella but the only viable alternative that we can come up with is Shannon Briggs

[erics44]

Freudian slip

Just a spell checker

[Tam Seddon]

Briggs won't get sanctioned by the BBBoC either, so that counts him out

[ross]

Briggs is not the only viable contender.

Or are you just talking name value?

Plenty of fighters with better names on their records, even unbeaten fighters.

Listen to Hayes interview in IFL, he says the same thing the Furys have been complaining about for years that fighters are pricing themselves out.
