    Well, the last fight they probably watched was the last Anthony Joshua fight. They don't even know Thurman - Garcia is on tonight. They wouldn't know who Lomachenko and Roman Gonzalez are. There's feck loads out there who'll only watch whatever crap Sky are hyping and not have any idea of actually good boxing.

    And how is that a problem to you to complain about? People pay for stuff they want to watch if they are casual so be it who cares? No one forced you to watch that tonight did they?

    Best possible outcome from this bizarre joke of a fight is Haye gets his leg amputated and Bellew gets to retire and achieve his dream of being a stay at home dad.

    Sad thing is my friends who are casual boxing fans loved the fight, so as long as there's people like that who'll lap this crap up, it'll always sell well.

    I'd have a passing interest in boxing I'd guess, I'm not sure I'd even qualify as a casual fan. It was fairly bizarre, the commentators pretending Bellew actually beat him and a ridiculous post fight interview with no mention of the obvious injury. They were too busy desperately attemping to sell a rematch. Also I think I might be in better shape than Tony Bellew.

    Ok I didn't pay for it in the first place but no way would I have any interest in paying to see more of it.

    Did anybody see when Eddie Hearn jumped on Bellew's back, and he threw him straight off.

    End of the 9th or 10th round he was over at the ref crying about the tape on Haye's leg and made him remove it.

    Disgrace of a man.

    He knows

    He's not a fool, he won't be fighting super heavies like Joshua and Wlad

    He will get a few more mill for a Haye rematch and call it a day

    Did David Haye get a time out during a round, since when do they do that? Is it me or was the ref intentionally trying to give David Haye time to try compose himself?

    It was like 2 pissed lads having a scrap outside the Arklow bay at 3 am in the morning.

    Entertaining though.

    What a load of ****e. That interview from Haye just stank of desperation. As much as I don't like him I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. What a disaster. Bellew was gassed after the 6th round and didn't have the power to knock out a man who couldn't defend himself. There is no credibility to that garbage. Fury is the only saviour for the heavyweight division and I hope he comes back.

    Bellew punched after the break when the ref was still between them.

    Bellew just secured his families future, in his head he knew there was a massive chance he'd get KO'd in doing so, he's after winning so fair play to him.

    Cos we keep getting peddled this **** or the likes of Wilder or Joshua fighting tomato cans instead of the best fighting each other. As long as fights like this make money, we'll continue to get crap like this. I mean, Bellew probably makes more money with this crap and rematches than if he fought someone like Usyk or Briedis.

    £7.2million I think. Majority to Haye, Haye is co-promoter as well so he'll probably clear more than the total purse.

    Well all round one of the single worst nights of boxing i'v ever seen, just sad in every way, seeing shot Derry Matthews and Paulie Malignaggi take bad L's, Haye fighting like a drunk then getting crippled yet Bellew still not good enough to stop him for several rounds, the cringy celebrations from Hearn and talk of Bellews vs Joshua or Wlad. Garbage in every sense nights like this i really wonder why i bother with boxing it's a joke of a sport at times. Have to be up for work at 8 so can't even stay up for Thurman vs Garcia a real proper fight and one nobody is paying 20 quid to watch.

    Footballers go down with no contact and roll over 5 times, Haye fights on with his ankle falling off .

    Yep I do, what had Haye shown in the first 5 rounds that he could have KO'd Bellew? Age had caught up with Haye, injury just got there first.

    Usually agree with you Johner but not this time - Haye wins one way or another minus the injury.

    Bellew was blowing out of his arse after the sixth!

    Bellew is a matchroom boxing fighter and Sky are in bed with Matchroom. Whatever fight is upcoming, the matchroom fighter is the good guy and the other is the dangerous chance.

    The whole context that they are painting this result in is just ridiculous. The narrative should be that the fight was spoiled by an injury to Haye so it's effectively a NC. But given that Bellew won his last fight by whacking a guy in the b*ll*x, I guess it's par for the course.
