haye will knock him out anyway, chisora is a nobody. cant believe haye is stooping to this guys level.

From what I've seen Haye is just as bad. Both give the sport of boxing a bad name. Neither have any real claim as a great boxer. Certainly not an ounce of class between them.

The sad thing about this 'grudge' fight is that the two fighters will make loadsa money out of an incident that they should have been locked up for, and Frank Warren will make a pile from PPV despite what he said after the Munich affair.
He must have been pleasuring himself to sleep every night since Munich at the prospect of this.
His only worry was getting the timing of the announcement right, too early would seem obscene, too late maybe interest would wane.

If it has been announced now how long has he been working on it?
Scouring Europe for a licence for Chisora, finding and agreeing a venue, getting the fighters and representatives together (where they behaved perfectly politely together no doubt) to discuss and sign contracts and also to organise his PPV cashcow.

Bet he was working on it the day after Munich.
Disgusting behaviour!

Nope!

I see your point though. It's well hyped isn't it? You're in on it.
How do you get maximum profit from two average fighters?
You do what they have done!

What will the winner go on to achieve?
Nothing.

I get the impression from some comments that people actually think Boxing is ethical?

Can I just remind people that Mayweather is preparing to go into jail for beating his missus and it was only put back until after his fight because it was generating upto $100m for the Vegas area. I haven't seen many people complaining about that being wrong though.

Lamont Petersen has just been found out to be taking drugs and has got himself a ban

Tyson turned into a cannibal against Holyfield and munched on his ear, he also told Lewis he was going to eat his kids before having a punch up

Don King, was running the sport for years and his rap sheet is as long as my arm

Many boxers would have been in prison or maybe dead from gang life if they hadn't got into the ring, so expecting some of these to become exemplary role models is never going to happen

and one last thing, no one actually knows if the Munich thing with Haye and Chisora wasnt actually staged so that all this could happen.


So whilst some may not agree with it, you really should not be surprised. I assume you wont be watching it either

I'm surprised there is much interest. Just a couple of bums.

The forum title sums this up perfectly.....

90% of all fights since about the 80's have been a farce and this one will be no different, what really gets me is that these 2 did not just bring boxing into disrepute they brough british sport into disrepute and in that respect I think that all the british media should have boycotted promoting it and then by all means get a Luxemberg licence and go and fight over there and see how much interest there is in it.

And shame on Frank Warren too.....boxing promoters...such a bad rep and this goes a long way to confirming peoples opinions.

You are confusing boxing with boxers.

I dont recall Don King ever being the main attraction on a fight card. I am talking about the sport on the whole

He's using Twitter hashtags for some peculiar reason.
