Anyone up for seeing Haye-Mormeck IN FRANCE!?

[achillesthegreat]

Who would be up for it?

I am trying to get about 5 or 6 mates together. Jump on the Eurostar or some shit.

I'm cool with just the boys but it would be great if others went. Fucking own that place British style!

The French don't know how we invade! We take over their arena and Haye can take Mormecks title.

YES!

[NOrth]

I think im going, although wont know for sure until Saturday. No chance of using the euro star though, it'd cost me more to get to London and park than it would to fly.

Taking a group of lads with you?

We need to unite like football hooligans and then storm the louvre (or wherever the fuck it is being held).

YES! Nothing like a good scrap between exciting operators.

I was worried after Hatton-Castillo. Khan-Limond and Calzaghe-Kessler don't tickle my taste buds when I think of CARNAGE!

[Smith]

How much do you think it'd be to train it, watch the fight and general spending cash achilles

[sandwichsurgeon]

I'm up for Agincourt II

[achillesthegreat]

I talked to 4 of my mates. We are thinking of driving over there. Get on the Eurostar and into France a few hours later.

Five of us did the same thing for Calzaghe-Manfredo. London to Cardiff, fight, get smashed etc We all loved it. So they want to step it up a level.

I'm hoping our time tables combine.

[achillesthegreat]

According to the French guys on this site it'll be a 4000 stadium with ringside seats costing about 100. Let's say you'll burn 100 on random shit. I had a look at eurotunnel.com and i got 2 nights, vehicle and passengers for 98quid.

So just for one person, call it 250 max each.

[Strike]

I am up for it and I think Doyley and Doggyland from BA are up for it and so is Stuey (who posts here and on BA). I might get my a couple of lads from Manc up for it too.

If we are all going we will def have to meet up. Last time I was in Paris we gave a cheeky frog a good shoeing, and this time we can watch Haye do a proper job, instead of my drunken shenanigans.:D:happy

[IronBull]

Five of us did the same thing for Calzaghe-Manfredo. .

You went to cardiff for Calzaghe-Manfredo fight?

[achillesthegreat]

You went to cardiff for Calzaghe-Manfredo fight?
Yeah.

I have mainstream boxing mates. They have been made mainstream because of me. I wanted to take them to a good night. Admittingly ****** cunted me over with Enzo-Haye.

[achillesthegreat]

I count 4 of you wanting to go, 5 including me. We each bring some lads and bosh thats 25 of us spreading around Paris like London fire.

I just watched Haye v Bonin and then Haye v Fragemoni. I'm not going to watch Abdoul again but tomorrow I will watch Johnasson and Gurov.

Haye has the moves now. He has it. If he can pull it all together he has the talent, tools and maybe the intangiables to win. Mormeck is going to come forward and I don't think he can take whats coming his way.

[IronBull]

Yeah.

I have mainstream boxing mates. They have been made mainstream because of me. I wanted to take them to a good night. Admittingly ****** cunted me over with Enzo-Haye.

oh ok.. i was there.

[achillesthegreat]

oh ok.. i was there.
...to see Enzo? :D

[David UK]

I might fancy it if I can get the Saturday off work. Is the venue Central Paris?

[achillesthegreat]

Sep 28th is Friday! I think it's because of Sky.

That sounds not to bad paper wise, i could hit up the ufc 75 event in London, or this, & pretty sure i'd rather see a major boxing event any day of the week.

[faisal]

If i pass my examination to charles university i'll deffinately go, you cant miss me tall asian dude with a long depressed look, i'll come in an england top

[Strike]

I will probably stay at my mates birds yard. She is at Uni there, so free accomodation I hope, but the Eurostar etc...it would definitely be good to get every cunt together for that little mission...a proper good weekend.

[Vantage_West]

Yeah.

I have mainstream boxing mates. They have been made mainstream because of me. I wanted to take them to a good night. Admittingly ****** cunted me over with Enzo-Haye.yeah the enzo-david fiasco man we fucking bombed the itv and frank ****** .tv network with stuff ....what was your responses

[Vantage_West]

Where is the venue?:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl good start

[achillesthegreat]

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl good start
Us Brits are coming by land, sea and air. It don't matter where the fuck it is. We are taking over in the ring and out of it!

[achillesthegreat]

yeah the enzo-david fiasco man we fucking bombed the itv and frank ****** .tv network with stuff ....what was your responses
I felt frank******.tv gave me some cuntish responses like why don't i get a promoters license and try putting the fight on. I told them they are cocks because its a makeable fight. EVERYONE wanted it except one man - Mr W!

ITV failed to put the right pressure on and now we might not see the fight. I don't think Haye will stay at 200 after Mormeck. I can only see him staying for a Thompson rematch, which isn't that likely.

Macca is blatently going to go after Cunnigham next and the fight probably won't happen for years until the heavies.

[achillesthegreat]

I love MMA and all but fuck it. This is one our best prospects really stepping up to the plate. It's for all the marbles. Haye is going to France to fight a quality fighter and to become the 4th linear cruiser in history.

I think nothing of The Ring belt, it is a trinket. Something pretty to talk about and put on the mantle piece. What matters to me is Haye makes REAL history and with just 20 fights to his name.

I love that he has a loss on his record. He is old school. A loss doesn't mean he is exposed. It doesn't mean he runs away and hide. It doesn't mean he takes easy opposition from now on. It means he lost, learnt and came back a MUCH better fighter.

Where the fuck is this fight being held, I need to start finding out about tickets etc!

Thats exactly my thinking, spot on. There honestly could not have been a better thing happen to him than that loss.:good

YES!

I like MMA but like I said FUCK UFC, at least for the time being.

I just watched Haye v Johansson. I'm going back in his career. Seriously you can see a distinct improvement. I still think he is improving. Fragemoni and Bonin are his best performances. Now he needs to show us true greatness by beating Mormeck. Then he can embark on his heavyweight ambitions.

[My dinner with Conteh]

Any ticket news post it here please lads. The wife wants to go to Paris later this year, I'm thinking of making it that weekend now. :yep

[Fitir]

The tickets are not available but they will be available via the site of "France Billet" (french site but they have an english version if you click on the union jack from the index page)

[My dinner with Conteh]

Thanks mate. :good

[Hitman_Hatton]

Im in sounds like a right laugh. :happy

[achillesthegreat]

YES! MDWC And Hitman want some too.

How is Paris going to feel when the Brits come marching in?!

[achillesthegreat]

Tickets site: [Only registered and activated users can see links]

[achillesthegreat]

I can't find any tickets yet.

[achillesthegreat]

We need a pub near the arena where we can take over and plot our invasion.

[achillesthegreat]

The threads a sticky so we can all keep an eye on tickets, who is going etc

[hitman_hatton1]

going into the lions den to see our guy get beaten up.

no thanks. :lol:

there playing tonga.

the kick off time is the same as the fight though apparently.

damn i wish i could go. im gonna be stuck in some nuke plant from mid sept to november workin

Really? I thought kick off would be at 3 or something. I was thinking of maybe doing both. Oh well.

[NOrth]

Accomodation is going to be the main stumbling block, especially with the rugby world cup on

This is my only fear. Euro Tunnel is already fully booked for Friday.

[achillesthegreat]

If anyone does find good accomodation, again make sure you post it here so we can take over the block.

We need 50 of us. We need to be a fucking platoon! YES!

[achillesthegreat]

Think me and a mate are going, if he's pulls out I'm goin even on my own. This will be immense!

When do the tickets go on sale?
I got 6 or 7 mates who are interested. This is madness.

More people need to know about Haye. BBC really did a shit job with him. Sky are doing ok but he still isn't known like he needs to be.

Haye has everything Hatton has and more. He should be known in the same manner. Maybe this will be his Kostya Tszyu.

[hitman_hatton1]

Haye has everything Hatton has and more.

always guaranteed a laugh round here. :yep

[achillesthegreat]

always guaranteed a laugh round here. :yep
:D

Seriously though.

I think he has the same sort of appeal. He is good looking, mixes with the celebes, blah blah blah blah blah...

...and most importantly of all you are guranteed excitement. He has had ONE bad fight. He has a kill or be killed mentality, even when boxing.

You have to like that when he stuns guys he tries to finish but isn't dumb about it.

[BaronBrad]

I went to Bell / Mormeck 2 in Paris and the venue was very small. I had ring side seats for that fight and to be honest, the view from the crappiest seats wouldn't have been too bad so I don't know if I would bother with ring side this time.

I paid £250 for eurostar and 2 nights so it is quite a cheap weekend away.

i agree he has crossover appeal.

whether he's the complete fighting package like ricky is, is something i still heavily doubt.

i want haye to prove me wrong of course. :bbb

Haye hasn't come close to rivalling Hattons achievements but he has the ability to. He is talented, skilled and ballsy. It's about bringing it all together. I'm rooting for him.

[NOrth]

If Haye becomes HW champion he'll probably surpass Hatton, even though Ricky will have done more - does that make sense... ?

[achillesthegreat]

It's a tough one but it does make sense. You are going back to the argument that being the true heavyweight champ of the world is the greatest prize in sport.

With this in mind yes.

I want to see Haye spark Mormeck then spark the Brit/Commonwealth champ (Skelton) and then onto the true prize!

[Max Molyneux]

If you guys go to France, fly one big arse British Union Jack for Haye!

[achillesthegreat]

I am currently going through my mates to see who will go. I have one no and three maybes.

[achillesthegreat]

YES - one yes, four maybes and one no!

[stake501]

put me down for a maybe


bunce reckons it will be in a 600 capacity arena, with all of Mormecks family and mates ...lol

gotta support our own

[The Jackal]

I sadly won't be able to make it fella's.
I hope you all have a good time on it.
And i sincerelly hope Mormeck loses.

[BaronBrad]

Nice one mate. You coming to Haye-Mormeck. You blatently are aren't you!

Where is this fight being held?

I set myself a budget each year for boxing and going on holiday.

At this moment in time, it is going crazy, £2000K+ spent in Vegas for Hatton and now we are looking at the following:
- Haye - Mormeck
- Hatton - Mayweather
- Haye - Mormeck

Out of the above, I think I will do Haye and Hatton.

BING IT ON!!!!

The crowd for Bell/Mormeck II was passionate. Being at Hatton/Castillo adn watching the TV re-runs and listening to the crowd I know the UK fans are far more passionate than ANY OTHER COUNTRY!!!! I therefore think UK could represent in Paris come fight night.

Personally I need to review financies. First choice, is Mayweather/Hatton and 2nd is Haye/Mormeck. I think I can do both - know I can.........

I'm sure it won't cost more than £250 for Haye-Mormeck. Come on mate, you can do it. Us Brits are by far the best fans in the game. Our passion, patriotism and love for pugilism is unrivalled.

[achillesthegreat]

That's what he blatently meant but he probably fucked up.

[achillesthegreat]

I doubt this will be his KT, Kt was a living 140lb legend, but i want to go to this fight can i tag along.
Mormeck is one of three men to be linear at 200 pounds. He has dominated his division to date. That automatically ranks him VERY high at cruiser. When I say KT, I mean, make the world sit up. Haye still is just a good fighter but he is in a group of about TEN at 200 pounds. A Mormeck win sets him apart from Huck, Enzo, Cunnigham etc

Sure you can tag along. Potentially looks like maybe 50 of us from ESB.

[Rakim]

If a fight between Hatton and Mayweather happens anywhere in Britain over the next 2 years, ChampionsForever and myself will definitely be going.

[China_hand_Joe]

I don't like the weight for Haye too much

[achillesthegreat]

It appears there are still no tickets.

[achillesthegreat]

...and no word on where it will be held. Still just billed as Paris.

[Jimbo]

...and no word on where it will be held. Still just billed as Paris.

It seems a really stupid bit of scheduling to me. Putting it on at the same time and in the same city as England v Tonga in the Rugby World Cup is stupidity (not cos i'm arsed about watching the egg chasing) and must suck ticket and advertising £ out of the fighters pockets.

Wouldn't be surprised if they tweaked the date. My bro and me were going to go but we're not forking out the extra £ that hotel rooms and Eurotunnel will cost because of this stupid scheduling.

[David UK]

Wouldn't be surprised if they tweaked the date. My bro and me were going to go but we're not forking out the extra £ that hotel rooms and Eurotunnel will cost because of this stupid scheduling.

So your saying that the Eurotunnel will be more exoensive because of the England Rugby match? I didn't know it worked like that. Thought would just be like a normal train. I know it costs different amounts depending on the time of day. How much more is the train costing than a typical 'normal' price? Can anyone who has done the maths help out?

From what I've checked, this isn't the case and Eurotunnel is very cheap.

I quote 98quid for a car and five people!

Maybe not Eurotunnel then but certainly hotels. I'm probably just easily dissuaded.

Do you have any proof of this?

It isn't like anyone is even talking about the Rugby and boxing yet. David Haye isn't very widely known which is suprising and a shame.

Come on Jimbo, you'll only be there for a day or two. So you pay an extra ten quid a day, BIG DEAL.

Do you want to witness history or not.

[hitman_hatton1]

Do you want to witness history or not.

:patsch

[achillesthegreat]

Cruiser is something like 20 years old, if not more. ONLY THREE MEN have been THE MAN! Two of them are around today. Two of them are in Hayes reach.

Haye can be the fourth person to be the man! He can be the first Brit to be a REAL cruiserweight champ.

A real lineal champ is always history making, especially when it is a real champ like Mormeck facing such a dangerous number 1 contender.

intresting reading...

have looked everywhere on french sites with my limited french and have yet to see ANYTHING regarding tickets. would be up for goin to this for sure. mormecks own site says nuthin to do with the fight (except for a poll- 70% or sumthing thinkin hes gonna knock hayes out (wtf?!?!?))

haye is faster and stronger than nething iv seen or heard of mormeck and tho, whilst you have to worry bout it being in mormecks back yard haye shuld b able to cope with him.

ne ticket news would be great. gotta see if il be able to afford this!!!

[achillesthegreat]

The fight will be at Marcel Cedans stadium. French guys, what is that like? Are all the seats at an angle so everyone can see?

[BaronBrad]

The fight will be at Marcel Cedans stadium. French guys, what is that like? Are all the seats at an angle so everyone can see?

Any French people have any comments?

I have tried to find a web page or location of the arena/stadium but have been unable to do so. Has anyone found any information on the venue?

My Autoroute however states that Stade Marcel Cerdan is 92 miles from the Champs Elysees in a place called Reims. Is this correct?

I am so torn at the moment, I've been to France for Mormeck/O'Neil II and Vegas for Hatton/Castillo and I am only about to travel overseas for one more fight this year. The fight will be this one or Hatton/Mayweather so I am desperate for as much info ASAP so that I can work out which "holiday" will be the best.

[starsky87]

erm..... just read on dan rafeals blog in the cruiserweight ranking page (Haye-6th? wtf!? Behind enzo too-FUCK OFF!!!)on ESPN and he mentions that the fight has been moved back to better fit the french tv schedulers or summin. Means the new date is November 10th apparently. Anyone herd this or can confirm?
