"If you are still considering a warm up bout before your world title tilt, then I'm sure the British public would love to see you send me into retirement"

I'd pay 54.99 to watch this fight on ppv with no undercard, sad thing is im not actually joking either

He's exactly right.
He doesn't deserve a shot and we would like to see him take a hiding.
Mind you I think Haye's got bigger fish to fry to be quite honest.
People are calling to see him fight a bigger name fighter than Barrett and Audley hardly fits the bill.
Audleys got to get past Skelton first and that doesnt look highly after his shite performance against Martin Rogan.
Give up Audley. Nobody wants to see you ruin a fight.

It is sad that Harrison has come to this.
Haye should have put him on his card. I'd rather see Harrison than some unknown. Simply for the name, the laughs, the history.
I agree in a way Achilles, it sounds like Audley was owed a favour, but in defense of David, he probably wouldn't want the promotion to turn into a jeer/booing fest.
Yes I would rather see him at the bottom of the card than not for comedy value as much as anything.

Wow, did Audley Harrison just actually make a correct statement?
Well call the fucking cops!

If Haye really fought on his undercards and they really are mates then Audley should be put on the card.
As much of a cock that Audley is, he is a proven domestic fighter and for that alone can be put on loads of cards and steered towards fights with Rogan, Skelton, Sprott, Williams etc
Audley v whoever for Southern Area or English title or in an eliminator of some sort would be good.

I think Audley sees the potential of one last decent payday.
I can't see why Haye would fight him at the moment - besides they are suposed to be mates.

the problem is the Hayemaker brand of promotions is still pretty new - having audley on it could be seen as detriment to the perception of his new exciting brand full of promising talent. having audley on your card is like finding a fly in your soup, or having birdshit on the windscreen of a car your trying to sell.

That is true. Haye is trying to be known about excitement. With Harrison you are almost guranteed a poor fight that could last 10 rounds. Still, I would put it at the bottom of the card. It would have some people watching from the beginning rather than the typically empty place until main event.

When you look at it, haye and harrison have been mates for a long time. because haye turned him down a place on his undercard Harrison has started slagging Haye off.
Audley needs to start doing a Sprott, Skelton or Williams and start taking fights in Europe. to think this guy never even won a domestic title is laughable.

I think as a company in it's infancy Harrison would be far too big a risk for Hayemaker. Right now they're trying to gain support by showcasing local talent & whatnot, having a guy who they know very well is going to get booed out of the arena, and who they know very well has no fight left in him would not be a very clever move, UNLESS you were bringing him in against a local favourite as a 'baddy'.
Haye-Harrison has the possibility of being a complete car-crash, it could even be saddening.

I've just spat food all over the keyboard because I couldn't contain my laugh! :p
I'm starting to admire Harrison's inability to cope with the reality that his career is completely over and he was crap!
Good on ya Fraudley!

If Audley wants to retire after his next fight, he should go after Tyson Fury! :yep

I cant remember any undercards? that haye was on.........ive watched all of his fights bar one or two.
Audley is trying to goad, and at the same time sell the fight........been done a million times in the past.

Interesting :think Audley seems to have become "self aware".
Harrison KO round 1...........in his dreams
still think people will buy tickets to see him ...a kinda freak show side atraction.
AUDLEY MAKES US LAUGH
Audley gives more details on sparring session with David Haye in 2006.
I wanted to give some more details about my sparring session with David Haye and why I say he took liberties in trying to blast me out.
After my first lost to Danny Williams, my confidence was low and I went to Miami to hook up with Lennox and try to get my mojo back. I was with my training team and had just signed to fight Dominic Guinn for April 14th. It was early March and we were running along the beach in the morning and we bump into David who was training there and was also running. We talked and as David was nearing the end of camp for his fight back in London, we agreed to speak later as we didn't want cool down.
Bear in mind, I hadn’t done any boxing specific training since December and I was really looking to get my fire back and utilise the advice of Lennox. I believe it was 2 weeks later when Lennox told me he was leaving town and wanted to see me spar before he left town. We arranged for a novice pro who was in the gym to move around with me and we set it up for that evening.
David called and asked what I was up to and I told him what was planned for that evening. David had never come to my gym before while we were there, he trained elsewhere.
He gave no indication that he wished to come to the spar, so I never expected him and Adam to turn up and ask to spar. Regardless, I said no problems as I thought it would be good for Lennox to have a look at him (as far as I’m aware, David nor his side kick Adam had met Lennox before this day).
I did 3 rounds with the novice and then David stepped in. I noticed he was jumping up and down and looking really animated. It was 2 weeks away from his fight and he was at the end of his camp. Round 1: David came out throwing combinations, 3 and 4 at a time; I was so slow, I couldn’t even keep up with him. Wave after wave of punches came my way; he wasn’t holding back. I kept my guard tight and looked for an opening but couldn’t get off. The onslaught continued for 3 rounds and I hardly landed a shot on him.
My team looked at me like what the f..k was that about?. Was I embarrassed? HELL YES! Lennox said not to worry, as it was my first spar and that I’ll get better. Unfortunately, this set the mood for camp and I never got off first base. So that’s another reason why I want to get David in the ring, as I believe his actions on that day impacted my whole training camp and I boxed Dominic Guinn still low on confidence. I will say this, David has never hurt me all the many times we have boxed; I don’t think he can say the same.
In Rocky 3, Apollo Creed helps Rocky gets back his mojo and does what true friends do and helps him re build his confidence. I got there in the end by myself, but I should have seen David for what he was then. If you really look at David’s set up, it has got A Force written all over it. I have given David so much and have wanted nothing in return. The student may be the star today, but he has forgotten who his master was on his way up. Well, like in Rocky 5, the old master still has some game, so if you and WLAD do not happen, I’m here and waiting.
A FARCE

Sorry just created another thread about this.... I feel sorry for Aud... he's got real issues with regards to his mental approach. I can identify with what he's saying but you don't expect that from an olympic gold medalist. Testimony to his talent that he progressed that far with such a horrible attitude. I'd like the fight to happen big time.

I disagree with the majority of opinions on here, I think Audley vs Haye makes sense because the casual fan would definetly cash in to see either Haye get sparked cold or Audley get sparked silly, or even for Audley to cause the upset because lets face it David Haye would be the favourite but Audley has the size and he is a natural heavyweight so it would make sense to see if Haye can take Audley out impressively and then maybe go on to fight a Klitschko. Audley would be seen as a tune up fight LOL

Audley Harrison is being honest but chatting such shite. David Haye lost him his next fight and ruined his whole camp! All I gather from what he wrote is how weak mentally he is. The same mentality that sees him lose fights he can win.
He is showing a very fragile mentality but that sparring session must have highlighted the fact that the Pro game is not for him.
Could he not have stayed an amateur for the rest of his career?

I notice that Audley hasn't mentioned what got said straight AFTER the sparring session. Saying that I bet it wasn't much, I remember as a kid crying that much I couldn't get my words out. I can picture him blubbering now as Lennox hangs his head in shame.
What's he going to blame when he has 12 rounds (or alot less) of those combinations coming at him?
As I haven't saw Audley with 'his fire' in tow, well....errrrrr...EVER.
Fuck, he might blame us lot. Here's hoping.

Audley doesn't deserve this fight, but it's intriguing nonetheless.
I wonder if Booth is on the boxing hour tomo or whether they can get David on the phone.
Yes they need to get Hayes view on this.The fight would be a big draw in this country for obvious reasons

Yeah i agree with the majority of opinions here on this one. does audley deserve the fight? nope. would he win? nope. would i watch it? yep haha. haye would force a stoppage within 3 rounds. audleys just a waster as a pro, always has been. his only notable win in my eyes was when he stopped danny williams, and i was proper shocked at that. i cant see haye being interested. its just sour grapes on audleys part over haye not putting him on the card, and why should he? mates nothing, the guys shit. its like when hamed used to badger ****** to put johnny nelson on his undercards. one boring fight can put a dampner on the whole show, so why bother. we want good, exciting fights right? its right, audreys just looking for one more payday. or does he really believe he can pull off an upset? he'd be the only one to believe it.
