Two fairly unlikeable chaps, not sure who I want to lose the least yet. I've decided I want Bellew to lose least and also it would funny if haye lost this fight. Bellew can't lose unless he ends up badly hurt , what I mean is Bellew is expected to lose to the bigger man and he gets to return to Cruiserweight and retain his built. If Haye loses he's done as a heavyweight boxer. As someone already said, it's a big pay day for Hearn without much risk to his fighter's reputation. Bellew only needs to do what Brook did with Golovkin, last a few rounds and get some decent punches in and that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shunkyboy and the fluffer Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Enjoyed it although Hayes post fight arse licking to secure a re-match was pretty laughable. Good fight but lacking in quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 The biggest rip-off is all this PPV crap. You can sometimes pay £20 for a fight that lasts 20 seconds with a crap underbill. Talk about an outrageous rip-off. I reckon they should charge per round or something like that not paying money up front for something that fails to materialize into what is promised. Its like paying £400 for a television if it breaks down or you are not satisfied you get your money back - not with PPV though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like paying £400 for a television if it breaks down or you are not satisfied you get your money back - not with PPV though. If they charged by round it would open the fights up to "fixing". fighters would want the fight to last as long as possible to get as much money as they can. fights can last one round or 12, it all adds to the anticipation of the event. Everyone knew Joshua's previous fights wouldn't last long but people want to see him knock his opponent out, they don't want to see a boring 12 round match go to points. The knock out is the attraction for many. every now an then a Chisora v Whyte style fight comes along where you get true value for money.

Och Aye Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hilarious. Best farce since Big Daddy versus Giant Haystacks. That wee rat Hearn was smiling from his tap pocket to his back pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I seem to be out of touch now as seems like there are people like vanderark who don't have a problem paying £20 for potentially 10 to 20 seconds of action. I suppose I am just too old and remember the days that the biggest boxing matches were nearly always on free to view television. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't pay for anything, my point was, how long the fight lasts is irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my basic original point was about paying to watch the fight. It is ludicrous when a person (not me now) has already paid around £100 for Sky Sports channels then they are being asked to pay more. Not having a pop at posters more at the greedy b********s that are Sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 looks like Haye was carrying an injury into the fight, hence the mega punches at the start with no set up, trying to spark him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I watched it live on a dodgy foreign feed and did not realize what happened in the 6th. Not sure he snapped it as that would be severe but something clearly happened there and after that he was a sitting duck versus before. He was still looking slow as hell in rounds one thru three but watching it again this morning knowing what had happened he was starting to find his range in the 4th and especially the 5th and then after the 6th is was all one way traffic. Haye looked really rusty even before his leg went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
