June 25th or July 2nd date still to be finalised.

Guessed it was probably close when Wlad pulled out of the Chisora fight again the other day. Chisora has been proper messed about and been used as a pawn in negotiations tbh shame for him.

From a promoting point of view boxing isn't much different to pro wrestling people still like to watch good guys v bad guys.

Haye is playing the cocky baddie role be no good if him and Wlad were slapping each other on the back saying how much they respect each other that wouldn't sell any fights!

He practically sold snow to the eskimos selling that Harrison fight to people, blimey anyone who knew anything about boxing knew that fight was a turkey from day 1 but they managed to suck people into thinking it was a real grudge match from the promoting.

Now you've got people wanting to see Haye get sparked for being such a loud mouth and people wanting to see Haye shake the heavyweight division up by taking a Klitschko down what both groups have in common is they'll probably be shelling out £15 for the fight which is all they care about!

I've only brought a boxing PPV once (Hatton V Mayweather) but will be buying this one and I reckon it's going to do huge business probably be the biggest UK boxing PPV imo.

Can't believe for a minute he won't fight Vitali if he wins all this talk of retiring is just trying to force their hand into making the fight imo.

His legacy relys on beating both klitschkos, beating one then packing up will just make him look like he's ducking Vitali.

Looking forward to tonight will be only the second boxing PPV I've gone for (first was Hatton v Mayweather) been a very long time since a top heavyweight fight.

Shall be supporting the Haymaker this evening, imagine he already knows he'll never get a points win in Germany so needs to get a knockout which hes capable of just depends on how many of wlads jabs he eats trying to get it!

Weather sounds dodgy in Hamburg pretty rainy, talk of the fight being delayed or cancelled depending on what it's like later on!

God knows what happens if the weather cancels a fight dont think I've ever seen it happen, would they move it to tomorrow I wonder?

Bloke on SSN seems certain the fight will go ahead so looks ok, says the people with floor seats might be in for a drenching though!

Psycho Ned · 2 Jul 2011 at 20:17

Not before 10pm so around then depending on the undercard I suppose.

Psycho Ned · 2 Jul 2011 at 20:29

Yep always the same with boxing you pay your £50+ subscription, £15 for the fight and they still put ads in!

We're lucky WWE don't put ads in their PPV's that's why its 3 hours straight through. I've actually brought way more Wrestling PPV's than boxing cos I know I'm going to get 3 hours of action tonight we might get 3 minutes!

Psycho Ned · 2 Jul 2011 at 20:41

Blimey that was over quick, properly sparked out!

Psycho Ned · 2 Jul 2011 at 21:20

Bit of a dull fight that, if they'd fought till midnight they wouldn't have knocked one another out!

The ref holding their hands at the end to raise one looks like when the footballers walk out before the game with a mascot!!

Good to see Buffer there, what a job he has turns up to MC one fight does his catchphrase and probably pockets a 6 figure sum!

Psycho Ned · 2 Jul 2011 at 22:00

Lol wtf is Haye playing at?! Never seen this at a fight before.

Psycho Ned · 2 Jul 2011 at 22:07

Thought I had tuned into WWE for a minute when Haye's music started and he didn't come out, thought they were going to cut to the back and find him knocked out on the floor!

Psycho Ned · 2 Jul 2011 at 22:10

Got the new England away shirt on, not even out yet.

Bloody hell these ring walks are a bit chaotic!!

Psycho Ned · 2 Jul 2011 at 22:11

Christ I hope they've got plenty of bouncers for Wlad as most of those guys kicking off were English fans! God knows what they'll do when he comes out!

Psycho Ned · 2 Jul 2011 at 22:15

Klitschkos doing the exact same thing!

Psycho Ned · 2 Jul 2011 at 22:16

They better get all the bouncers out there else this is kicking off.

Psycho Ned · 2 Jul 2011 at 22:30

Stood toe to toe Klitschko looks just so much bigger. Not slow lumbering lump bigger like Valuev but proper heavyweight bigger.

Hard to see how he's going to get a meaningful shot in without eating jabs all night.

Psycho Ned · 2 Jul 2011 at 22:34

Looks like Haye is going to need to detonate a bomb to win this as he's never going to win enough rounds cos he can't get anywhere near him!

Psycho Ned · 2 Jul 2011 at 22:38

Getting a bit tasty now!
