A few of my UK friends, one a VERY good source of information, are telling me that Haye-Harrison is about to be announced for November 13th and will be part of a SKY PPV that will include coverage of Pacquaio-Margarito from Dallas. Since the ONLY advantage I can see for Haye taking this fight is for a good PPV Buy Rate that would be a negotiating tool with the K2's (and that's for the David Loves David Club that David Allen and Dave Wilcox run ;D that actually think Haye is truely pursuing a K2 fight), then how does tying in with Pac-Margo effect things? Will it mean a bigger number and he can claim they were ALL his doing, and Pac support made little difference? It would seem that maybe that's the strategy. I've been pooh poohing the Audley fight all along, saying it wasn't going to happen, but it's sounding more and more like I'm wrong, and Haye's going to take the fight for which I thought he'd bypass to avoid the ridicule. I'm a bit disappointed in Haye if this report is true

Well it would give Haye the bargining power for sure to get the fight in the UK if it ever happend......Sorry had to laugh loudly to myself then explain to everyone what was so funny.....It say's a lot for Haye himself....Goes even more with that fact that the UK and Europe all together are starting to rival the US when it comes to the boxing market big time so maybe the US promoters might want to start getting off their asses and making fights instead of talking about them..........Haye will take the ridicule and make some sort of press out of it against the Brothers Grimm for sure

Didn't really want this fight to happen, but watchin Haye smash Fraudley all over the ring will bring much joy to many people. They did this double PPV thing with Amir Khan when he fought that Fagan bloke the same night as De La Hoya-Pacquiao.

The way I'm reading it is that it's a one way street anyway, Mike. It's the SKY PPV that's going to add Pac-Margo to it's lineup, but the reverse isn't true and Haye-Harrison won't be part of Top Ranks PPV.

Looks like that's what will happen, Sky used to do this quite a lot in the 90's & early 00's when we had good bills in the UK featuring Naz, Benn & those type of guys then it would switch over to the States for Tyson, Lewis etc so it was a good nights boxing, we're quite lucky in that respect, compared to you guys anyway as you only usually get the bill from your side of the pond & we get both for the equivelant of $20-$25.
I'll be buying this as I don't like Haye or Audley so I can't lose, a double ko would be nice, think I have more hate for Audley but would like to see Haye knocked out for giving him the chance, lol

LOL, Barry!!!! I've never heard of anyone buying a PPV because they don't like EITHER of the Main Event fighters and are guaranteed to enjoy a Loss. I always look at those and see the exact opposite, no matter what I root for, one of these pricks is going to score a big win

Haha I know it's a weird one, for once I can say I'll be happy either way, well sort of...Harrison as world champ & the boasting he'd come out with would do my head in & I think he has a pretty good chance of beating Haye, they've known each other since they were kids & to listen to him speak Audley seems quite dismissive of Haye, might be a different story once he gets hit on the chin but it's not as much of a sure thing for Haye as some think IMO.

Have no fear...Enzo is having trouble making the 199 so we could have Enzo Haye 2......Haye declined a rematch with the 46 yr old Carl Thompson at a catchweight...... I swear these days no matter what the division if you are the WBA champion you do shit to show you deserve to be a champion

Audley as a World Champion would be almost unbearable. I'm aware that they know each other and have worked together before, but I'm thinking that Haye's improved considerably since that point and Audley's slacked off. I do still have some questions about David Haye's chin, but I don't know that Audley would be the guy to do it damage. He's damn lucky to have caught Sprout and even be in this position.

I swear these days no matter what the division if you are the WBA champion you do shit to show you deserve to be a champion In the last 10 years since they stipped it from Lennox only a few months after he unified, and set up Holyfield-Ruiz 1 for the vacant title, the WBA HW title has been a complete joke. It was a joke when Valuev held, it was a joke when Ruiz held it, it was a joke when Roy Jones won it, and probably it's most glorious period was when Chagaev was sitting on it. Neither Klitshcko ever held it, and I don't see as to where their legacy suffered any.

Never gave it thought like that but yeah how sad is it the best years of your divisions world title in about 8 years is when a champion was injured.. Valuev is a joke in general....His size is what makes him have the success he has thus far nothing more nothing less....His chin is suspect for certain, he is slower then a snail after a marajuana party and his combos are amateur at best.....I remember when there was talk of him and Tye Fields going at it for the belt
