ICTChris Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Ron Lewis has an article on Haye's career in the Times today, an amazing catalogue of injuries when you look at it - Back injury that caused Klitschko fight to be rescheduled. - Shoulder injury that nixed a fight against Tyson Fury - Ruptured Achilles against Bellew. - Torn bicep that has delayed the rematch Lewis also makes the point that the last time Haye beat a boxer of any standard was Chisora, six years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like strong rumours but don’t know why they would do that so late? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Lol at anyone believing this. My work received an official guideline of advice to give out (I work for a television provider part-time until I'm a teacher) so there's at least some substance to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of PPV sales come on the night of the fight - there's literally no chance they'd pull it now. The only time they've cancelled one before was after a fight was announced and it got a dreadful reaction. The first fight did huge numbers and this will as well I'd expect. Is Eddie just going to pay the millions in purses himself? Edited May 2, 2018 by Fraser Fyvie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it will, I'm just advising the guidelines that we were given so whilst it might well go ahead on Ppv, there is definitely substance to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisleysaints Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Bellew after all his pish is the one to raise his hands, Hope Haye cleans him out this time not much of a haye fan in recent times but that Scouser just does my f**king head in. I think he's totally rattled this time!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Shame about Ferdinand's licence not being approved. He'd have cleaned up the division and part of me thinks that is exactly why he was denied it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Indeed I did.

You're having a bit of a mare here. There was nothing sensationalist at all about the first post - but even if there was - you're getting a bit upset about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
