Fury has agreed and the fight will be announced at a press conference on thursday a cool 5m each regardless of the outcome Fury would have been mad to turn down that much money

Not a chance its 5 million each.

That's the figure being reported.

I'd like to know exactly what that consists of. Presumably they're making certain assumptions in relation to PPV buys. It's hard to see them guaranteeing £10m for this.

Why would you think its impossible to be 5 million each, how much did Haye and Wlad got 15 million each for their fight, while i understand that was a bigger fight it wasnt 3 times a bigger fight in terms of hype and interest this will generate i bet the ppv buys will exceed Froch Kessler if it is PPV

Haye is a superb boxer, brilliant ringcraft, wonderful speed & does posses a tasty punch.
it could go the full 12 rounds, but I would expect a unanimous & wide margin win for Haye

That's a bit kind to Haye to be honest, I agree with the speed and he does have good power but Haye has only ever been 12 rounds three times, 1 easy win against a tomato can, one he was easily beaten and scraped a decision in the other. If it did go 12 rounds I'd fancy Fury but I do think Haye will take him out early. He will be too quick for him. Don't think Haye is a superb boxer though.

Fury has finally signed the contract. Something to look forward to for irish fight fans!

Glad the fight is agreed, but god are we going to have to listen to some excrement in the next couple of monthes

Still have my doubts that this will go ahead. I'll believe it when fight night comes around I suppose.

for that kind of money it sure will happen

It'll be shown on Sky box office

Lelantos · 11-07-2013 01:15PM

David Hayes sky interview. "The guys a bit of a lunatic" "it'll be a great fight...while he's conscious"

heyheyhey1982 · 11-07-2013 01:27PM

Oh they really must hate each other... sigh. I'll never forget when haye fought fraudley and he hated him too until after the fight when they both laughed and joked and thanked each other for the pay day.

Pighead · 11-07-2013 01:30PM

Haye not looking too impressed with Fury's antics this morning.

Fury isn't half as funny as he thinks he is.

AEDIC · 11-07-2013 01:56PM

He is a clown. (Fury) Like a 5 year old child...

Dick phelan · 11-07-2013 03:19PM

Lol what you guys on about i feckin love Fury, he was bang on about Haye's career as a heavy, and how Haye is all about being a celebrity not a fighter have to agree Haye thinks he is the new Dwayne Johnson, hope Fury wins always liked the guy dont no why he gets all the hate i think Fury is damn funny

FTA69 · 11-07-2013 03:40PM

Fury's gas. He sent Lennox Lewis a message on Twitter saying he "couldn't train a rice pudding." Whatever that means like! Absolutely hilarious, I hope he twats Haye as well.

(highly unlikely.)

DuckHook · 11-07-2013 05:17PM

Why is this on Sky box office though..are the paying public that depserate that they are expected to stump up for this?

A guy that was comprehensivley beaten when he stepped up to face a klitschko and another that has not fought anybody of real note.

Should be a good fight but box office material it aint.

Hype wise and name wise in Britain it sure is PPV material. Look at some other matches that were on PPV. Kessler-Froch? I'd rather pay for Haye-Fury! Plus, it's two HW men as well. Syles, appeal, their strengths and weaknesses. Gels very well.

Of course it's box office material. People are going to want to see this fight and most will stump up the cash to do so. Therefore it is indeed a box office fight. Quality of the fighters is irrelevant. Box office is determined by the numbers wanting to see the fight and this match up will deliver those numbers in spades.

Frankie Lee · 11-07-2013 05:49PM

I found that press conference mildly amusing. Fury is a funnier man than most but it can be a bit cringe-worthy when he tries too hard.
It is a worthy ppv mainly because of the self promotion of both fighters. I'll pay for it even though it could possibly be a dour affair especially if Haye fight like he did against Valuev and Klitschko or if Fury tries to remain super disciplined like he did against Kevin Johnson.
The atmosphere should be brilliant though which should help. Anyone have any idea what sort of fan split there will be? About 70/30 Haye maybe?

Gringo180 · 11-07-2013 06:10PM

Hopefully Haye batters the head off Fury, which he will. Although Haye isnt top class he is a level above Fury who is an absolute clown of the highest order.

Alpha Dog 1 · 11-07-2013 06:40PM

Two lads on ringside now, quality stuff!

barney4001 · 11-07-2013 06:44PM

why pay for it when it can be viewed here on the net streams

wadacrack · 11-07-2013 06:57PM

Fury has won the war of the words on ringside anyway

Alpha Dog 1 · 11-07-2013 07:02PM

Strange that David haye gets so quiet when he's sitting beside tyson! The fact that tyson has got Haye to shut up and listen for me he's already won round 1.

I must say I was mighty impressed with Fury. He's a gas man, and very articulate. Real banter and craic in him. Repeat at 2100 hrs tonight for anyone who has sky sports.

Because you're taking a gamble with these streams. I'd rather pay the few bob for the actual show and coverage that will be pretty much guaranteed.

+1

For most fights any dodgy stream would suffice, but for this fight I think it's wise to have guaranteed coverage and full hd, and just enjoy the show!
