Haye cares more about his Legacy than his bank balance. If only more fighters were like this.

I think a few years ago he was in it for the money, but he has come to realise that it means nothing compared to his legacy.

Some Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity. They ask themselves: will our actions echo across the centuries? Will strangers hear our names long after we are gone, and wonder who we were, how bravely we fought. Haye is one of these guys, if he beats Enzo and goes on to win the Heavyweight title, he will be forever reveired in British Boxing.

Maybe guys like Mayweather should think about this to?

[SevenSamurai]

Unfortuntately there are very few me like Haye in boxing. Haye is a very rare man. He is prepared to fight anyone, regardless of risk and regardless of his long term plans.

He knows tha Macca does pose somewhat of a risk for a very low reward. But he gives the fans what they want. He gets my appreciation for that.

Well Done Haye. You are a shining example to all pro boxers out there.:good

Thinking like that is why a lot of greats end up broke. Getting kudos from robpalmer135 or TBooze in 20 years time does not pay David Haye's bills; you probably should lose your licence if your primary concern as a pro boxer is anything other than money.

Hayes actions are very rare in British boxing. he must have the atmost belief in his abilities as a boxer. I hope he does very well because he is good for the game.

[Max Molyneux]

We all know Haye's genuine already, you post too excessively pro Haye and anything anti ******.

[Faetter_BR]

Well it's nice that Haye persues the good fights - but it's not like he isn't getting paid to face Enzo - he getting a fair deal. If you have the talent it's often a good way to go about it.

Look at Hatton's earnings compared to Calzaghe - compare the one who took the chances and the one that stayed at home. And the sad thing about it is that Calzaghe do have the talent...

I'm pretty sure Haye will make the money needed by doing it this way - and it's going to be nice to see Enzo meet a real contender and get beaten ... one thing is for sure - that fight isn't going the distance :D

[brown bomber]

Maybe guys like Mayweather should think about this to? ??? You sure about that? Mayweather has the best resume in boxing since Ray Leonard. He's beaten everyone he's needed to with the exception of Cotto.

Agreed but I see NO foundation for your Mayweather jibe.

Haye is a thug. I hope he beats Enzo because of his willingness to be a somebody.

[Steve Fox]

Haye is just very confident of beating Enzo.

he will get vastly more for this fight than he would have against rahman.
he aint no mug, he knows this sells out wherever its staged, tv rights, t shirts etc.... plenty of coin for mr haye for this bout...

[scott is cool]

Haye took this fight because it is good for Boxing, especialy British Boxing, but so did Macca.
Even though Haye is doing good for boxing, it's not as if he isn't getting payed much for it, I've heard talk of £500,000. Which is good for a fight which will only create interest from the British, and it is at Cruiserweight aswell, which is not a popular division, in all honesty.

[Haye]

Haye wouldnt be doing this if he wasnt being very very well paid, dont worry about that.

He has been well paid all through his career. He is quite commercial and knows how much he is worth.

[scurlaruntings]

If i was getting smacked in the head to i would be too.

[john b]

It will be a great fight probably on a parralell to eubank benn one for the drama because everybody predicted a benn win because of his punching power. Whatever happens great fight for the british public. I have to agree with Scurlaruntings and hatton and witter need to pull their fingers out and stop back biting.

[peter5]

Its true, if more fighters followed Hayes attitude towards opponents it would be like christmas every fucking weekend:happy

Half a million is good money for a cruiserweight title fight.

i reckon the avg price on a ticket for this fight will be 150-00 - i thought the calzaghe fight was expensive for what it was - ild be intersted to see if ******s gonna charge 500-00 for ringside again..

[faisal]

if either of the pair wins they should be put in the p4p top 10

[Dekkers]

Half a million...
In terms of legacy though there's little to gain and much to lose against Enzo, speaking frankly though Enzo will also be in with a shot since he's a puncher, has good body work and Haye's drained at the weight, if Enzo takes Haye into the late rounds the fight could easily be his... as strange as it is to say on the eve of Haye being cruisers' undisputed champ, he's outgrown the division and every fight he has now at this weight will strip away from his longevity in the ring. Also Enzos' getting this fight because he's won a popularity contest being under ******, not because he's the most deserving challenger, that award would go to Cunningham.

I think Enzo does deserve this shot. He has improved vastly under Team Calzaghe and will probably get even better. I think if Haye wins he will move up to Heaveyweight and Enzo and Cunningham will fight it out for the reliquished belts. :bbb

[brown bomber]

Any preds yet? It isn't likely to go long is it? I like Enzo but I think Haye figures to blast him out early. Mac doesn't strike me as much of a counter puncher so think Haye might just come out banging and over power him.

thats the way i see it, especially as he is tight at the weight, he will not want a long fight, i believe enzo will be really cautious which could lead to his downfall.
i am seriously excited by this, it could be spectacular.
i dont care where it is at, i am going.

[LeedsLad]

Haye said in the Star today that he wants to go to Cardiff to fight Macca, he wants to knock him out in his own backyard.

I think Haye will knock him out VERY early, but Macca has a REAL chance which makes this fight so interesting.

[rooq]

if either of the pair wins they should be put in the p4p top 10

nah. assuming you're being serious, neither has fought at the top level long enough to be considered p4p...

plus i don't think there are enough quality fighters at this weight class compared to the other divisions.

[Bodysnatcher]

I seriously doubt Haye would have been paid more for a heavyweight fight against even someone like Hasim Rahman (and certainly not a Tomasz Bonin-type) than he would for a `Battle of Britain` fight against a guy (Enzo) who already commands primetime billing on ITV boxing.

In my opinion, bearing in mind that Haye doesn't even talk about himself as being a cruiserweight anymore, the money is at least as big a factor as the prestige.

Enzo does not command prime time billing on ITV. His fight agaisnt Braithwaite was ITV1s lowest rated Saturday for 4 years.

He is getting paid more, both will be getting the highest purse for Cruiers in history. But Haye is taking this for the fans, money is secondary.

Honestly, was it?

[robpalmer135]

Yeh it was.

Williams vs Harrison 1 got 9mil for ITV, Calzaghe vs Manfredo and Khan vs Bull got around 7mil, Skelton vs Williams, Sprott vs Harrison, Calzaghe vs Bika got 6mil but this was mainly due to Khan being on the card.

Derry Matthews got something ridiclious like 2.5mil and Enzo was even lower, however this can be blamed on lack of advertising, remember the fights were purchased very late notice.

I take exception to this point I'm afraid. Mayweather didn't fight Hatton for the money, he doesn't need it. Plus he's been the true champion in all but one of the divisions he has held titles in (140).

I agree with what you say about Haye though & I have massive respect for him.

garbage post.

Haye had one world title fight to date - when he was the mandatory challenger.

Whats so special about that ?

Most mandatory challengers take their chance to fight for a world title - it happens all the time - its the rules of boxing.

He fought Macca for £800,000 - hardly low reward - when his previous biggest purse was about £150,000.:lol:

[gurmon]

Can you really become undisputed champ with a couple or world level fights ? If he beat Cunningham and Adamek then he would have been undisputed.

Mormeck wasnt obliged to fight him in Britain. Mormeck was french.

Robin Reid won a World title in Italy.

Naseem Hamed won a World title in America.

Joe Calzaghe won the Ring title in America.

Lloyd Honeyghan won the Undsipted title in America.

you can become undisputed champion with just one fight- like Hasim Rahman or Lloyd Honeyghan or Buster Douglas did.

But in Hayes case he was never undisputed champion.

[White Tiger]

yes he was. Cunningham and Adamek only got the belt because Bell ws forced to vacate to fight Mormeck.

So if your forced to Vacate a belt - you are no longer undisputed.

Bell failed to defend against Cunnigham or Adamek so was rightly stripped.

Its really that simple.

yeah - sure - Bell - Mormeck - Haye - may well be the linear champions -

but not undisputed.

David Haye has won numerous titles as a amateur around the world.

He fought for the European Title in his 15th.

David Haye was Undisputed Cruiser weight Champion, beating the man that beat the man....in his own back garden, getting up off the deck to spark out Jean Mormeck.

And first Cruiserweight since Evander Holyfield to win the heavyweight title.

David Haye from a very young age, has dedicated to the sport of boxing. He's never out of shape, he's always looking good and talking good. He's brought back allot of excitement and flare to the game, and he has made allot of sacrifices for his success.

He's went against the grain, and the old boxing logic. Boxing as a sport, is in large parts still a pretty backwards and retarded sport, just full of retarded people, "And also retarded ad backwards fans".

David Haye and Adam Booth have did things there way, and came out of nowhere, to now dictating British boxing.

I laugh at this thread, not because it's funny.

I laughing at this thread, because all these people that think it's funny, are complete and utter losers. Coming on here, stating that the Heavyweight Champion of the world is some kind of fraud.

Look at that video up above, that's a young David Haye making sacrifices, for his own success.

And that's something that you people here, you can't really comprehend. The amount of dedication and sacrifice David Haye has had to apply to his life, to get to this point would slip most of you guys into depression.

I'm no longer taking part in this topic, i stated afew days ago. That i can't stand 90% of the British forum members, i now make that 95%.

I have always resisted being a fan of Haye and was in the minority here back in 2008 - but it seems alot of people have joined my stance - since Haye has shown his true colours.

Its not his ability - I doubt - - he is a OK World Class fighter - a bit limited in Stamnia and Long fights though - I just never believed he was this hero person everyone made him out to be - and now others see it too.

The only person who has been there from day one is Scurlarantings - he was there at Haye s pro debut against Tony Booth.

Hayes myspace was one of the most posing fickle sites I had ever seen back in 2004.

He was acting like he was a super star.

He had Jodie Marsh walk to the ring - for the Carl Thompson fight - posing and acting the star . - and then he got exposed.

Credit to Haye for everything he achieved since - he done better than I thought he would.

But no I'm not a expert and neither do I want to be I dont see it as any kind of achievement in life to be a arm chair fan expert or to be well known on internet forums for being controvsial and going against the grain - it was just my feeling at the time - there has always been hype around Haye from the early pro days and I always felt - I believe it when I see it kind of thing.

When a couple of years ago around here - people were calling Haye incrediable for fighting the Kltischkos - despite the fact - he had not actually fought them yet. :lol:

But no I'm not a expert and neither do I want to be I dont see it as any kind of achievement in life to be a arm chair fan expert or to be well known on internet forums for being controvsial and going against the grain - it was just my feeling at the time - there has always been hype around Haye from the early pro days and I always felt - I believe it when I see it kind of thing.

When a couple of years ago around here - people were calling Haye incrediable for fighting the Kltischkos - despite the fact - he had not actually fought them yet. :lol:

Jodie Marsh:lol: I have to admit lately I have developed an irrational dislike for Haye and Booth - but fair dues you really dont like the guy :lol:

to be honest - I'm not proud of it.

I dont like slagging off Haye or being Hateful.

I like parts of David Haye - his healthy lifestyle - his style and good looks.

But I just feel he has become a bare face liar - and fighting Audely was sinking so low just to cash in.

The only person who has been there from day one is Scurlarantings - he was there at Haye s pro debut against Tony Booth.

Hayes myspace was one of the most posing fickle sites I had ever seen back in 2004.

He was acting like he was a super star.

He had Jodie Marsh walk to the ring - for the Carl Thompson fight - posing and acting the star . - and then he got exposed.

Credit to Haye for everything he achieved since - he done better than I thought he would.

I posted under several earliers names, and watch and was a fan of Haye when i saw him against Solis in 2001. Watched his debut and all his fights as a pro bar the one he had in playboy mansion.

Bar his tactical mistake against C. Thomspn he went for it against anyone, and took anyone who wanted it untill the summer of 2008 when he has handpicked his carrer and gotten more commercial and less like a pro fighter.

The reason he has beaten Barrett, valuev, Ruiz and Harrison is because he is very talented and has the best speed and power combo in the heavyweight division but in saying that he has regressed as a fighter. He throws less, and has not improved his skill set.

He performances are the following-

Barrett- Did well for 3 rounds then got sloppy (5th round ko)
Valuev - Performed poorly and literally did the same job that Evander Holyfield who was 46 at the time did against the same opponent.
Ruiz - Sloppy again and defence was shocking. (9th round ko)
Harrison - decent performance but barely threw anything against a fighter who is outside the top 25 in the world-

So far in 3 years as a heavyweight he has taken on two top ten heavyweights which by any standard is average, and he has not looked as good be especially considering his talents.
