Image: Haye vs. Harrison fight is not killing boxing- its enhancing the sportBy Joe Neale: I am sick of hearing hardcore haters still moaning about the David Haye vs. Audley Harrison fight which was officially announced today. People sayings its killing boxing well it isn’t. It will be the biggest British fight in over a decade and will attract thousands of new viewers to boxing and will be on mainstream news making the headlines.

As a hardcore fan myself I completely understand the view of the fight itself, but the only other fight for Haye is the Klitschkos and guess what it’s not happening for now and however much of a mismatch you think it is, it is the biggest fight out there to make money, new fans and possibly create a buzz around boxing again despite being a mismatch.

I watched the full press conference and how could you not like what you saw; it was trash talking at its finest and was funny. You need to remember boxing is almost 50% showbiz you need strong personalities to get people interested. Haye and Harrison are the best in Britain at trash talking.

Keep hating and being negative on this fight all it is doing is making you unhappy. It won’t make any difference, this fight is happening. I am looking forward to what Harrison and Haye have to say next and will no doubt it will get the British public behind them doing all the media stuff.

This fight is gonna be exciting while it lasts and I think Haye will stop Harrison within 3 rounds 11/4 great odds. Good or bad interest this will be the biggest heavyweight fight for a while. Wladimir Klitschko is fighting Sam Peter this week and not many people are bothered about that fight, at least there is excited and controversy before a mismatch fight cause Klitschko vs. Peter now is a mismatch.

I expect hater article saying the fights a farce and guess what you’re promoting the fight by writing your opinion good or bad.
