David Haye to fight Tyson Fury?

If you have a good internet connection and know where to look there is no hassle getting a decent stream. But it is good craic with a group of lads for the big fights and getting it on box office.

Fury acts the clown
but he showed in his arguments on Ringside that he is clever too & won all the arguments against Haye who looked like a bit of an idiot

Well i personally am buzzin for this have already had a few casual fans mention to me about the fight will most likely end up at someones house having a few and watching the fight, its great for boxing i mean how often does a fight happen that everyone is intrested in and that boxing will be the main sports story of the weekend fantastic hopefully the fight will be a decent matchup and i dont think its a forgone conclution that Haye wins

It is to Paddy Power. 6/1 on. Although, they have JMM a favourite vs. Timothy Bradley. I would make Bradley the favourite there.

Can't believe Bradley is as big as 6/4 in some bookies for that one! Value there I think.

Fury owned Haye on ringside he made some good points about how he can win at 6/ 1 its well worth putting money on Fury personally i think its a 65- 35 fight in Haye's favor but seriously Fury is better then people think

wadacrack · 11-07-2013 10:11PM

Id love to see Fury win. He dosent come across as arrogant as Haye despite his outlandish claims.Just a sarcastic sense of humour.Haye may struggle with Furys size be interesting to see how Fury fights. He claimed he will fight haye. I think for the first few rounds he will try to keep haye out of range with his jab as he knows the longer the fight goes the best chance Fury possesses

There is no 6/1 for Fury. Best odds are Haye 2/7 and Fury 7/2. Those odds look spot on to me.

Yeah the 6/1 is for a Fury KO.

Gringo180 · 11-07-2013 10:32PM

There is no way Fury wins this fight, Haye will box his ears off and win by a UD.

Johner · 11-07-2013 10:33PM

The value bet could be Fury on points at 12/1 because if he does survive the early rounds I think he has a chance. I don't think he will avoid Haye early though but for someone who fancies Fury it is good odds.

HigginsJ · 11-07-2013 10:34PM

I enjoyed the 2 guys on ringside. Still think its a big ask for Fury as Haye is the best he has fought. Think Haye will win early enough stoppage. Pub to watch it for me.

DK224 · 11-07-2013 11:11PM

A lot of people are lining this up as an early night for Haye and writing off Fury based on his performance against Cunningham but to go over to the US without his trainer for that fight and come away with a win after being so ragged and cocky as he got knocked down showed heart. Haye even though he got the win against Chisora a year ago would have been in a real war had Chisora not gone been so reckless in that 5th round and walked onto that right hand bomb.

I think Fury with Peter in his corner keeping a lid on him boxes similar to the Kevin Johnson fight controlling Haye keeping him at distance and winning by stoppage in the late rounds

Frankie Lee · 11-07-2013 11:18PM

Plus Haye is not that big a step up in class from Cunningham either. A bigger puncher only.

Won't be that easy to find a pub that will have this on box office.

Off topic but those are some deceiving odds for the Bradley-Marquez fight. I'd be surprised if Bradley doesn't win that one, class act that Marquez is.

kryogen · 12-07-2013 03:40AM

Have a decent wack on Bradley at the odds, heres hoping!

AEDIC · 12-07-2013 09:35AM

I thought the show on Ringside was very entertaining...especially Adam Booth's distain for Fury.

I dont think Tyson won a thing with Haye on there.... Haye put his points over and made some very good ones about ambition alone not winning anything...Fury acted very nervously I think. The babbling and nervous ticks in his body language are evident already.... I wouldnt say Fury won anything yet...let alone a battle of wills...

And remember... I dont think there has been a single boxing match won ever, where there wasnt a punch thrown and the winner won by being a smart arse with their 'comical' chat.

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.

Are we comparing this fight to Kessler-Froch? Multiple world titles on the line between two guys that have been fighting at the highest level in their respective division is comparable to Fury v haye.. :eek:

If people want to stump up for this then thats on them but even the sky hype mobile will need to go into overdrive to sell this one.

Granted its the heavys and they can make for excitement but the two guys involved are simply not that great.

It should be on sky sports 1.

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.

I think your overestimating the draw these two have at this stage of their respective careers, most ordinary punters would struggle to tell you how tyson fury was.

anyways its on box office and people will pay, doesnt make it right.

DuckHook · 12-07-2013 10:31AM

Anyway on to the fight, haye wins easily enough for me he will be to quick with decent power and can see this one over before the 6th.

Adam booth said on ringside last night that it is the fastest sale of tickets for any David haye fight ever, including the klitcho fight.

It's the biggest heavyweight fight in the UK since Bruno v lewis, no belts on the line but these guys are arguably bigger characters!

Think you're way off the mark here. Sky won't have to do a thing to promote this fight. The two fighters are a promoters dream. Sky just have to sit back and watch the two boys whip the British public into a frenzy. I'd say the fight is probably sold out already.

People say a lot of things to sell a fight and adam booth has a vested interest so he is hardly going to say otherwise. Listen im not saying its not an interesting fight but have we been starved of a decent heavyweight fight for so long that standards have adjusted downwards to the degree that this is billed as some sort of box-office fare?

I reckon you're completely wrong but we will just have to wait and see I suppose.

Only thing completely wrong so far is your claim it might probably be sold out already.

Ok, it seems I wasn't too far wrong. It's expected to be sold out by Monday.

If you can't see how this fight will capture the imagination of casual boxing fans then you should never ever become a boxing promoter.

Does it give a figure of how many tickets are left in total? I don't know if anything can proved for either argument until we hear this is a sell out, or realise a few weeks down the line that tickets are still available.

There is definitely an interest in this fight though, even if it isn't deserving in the sense that there are titles on the line between truly elite fighters.

People are drawn in by the pantomime aspect. This thread alone has had 4 pages worth of comments in the last couple of days with input from a range of different people and has more pages than most threads ever get on the boxing forum. That in itself is a somewhat unusual occurrence, particularly given that the fight isn't for another 2 and a half months.

It seems you were completely wrong as there are loads of tickets available as you said "I'd say the fight is probably sold out already." no two ways about it.

David Haye to fight Tyson Fury?
