Haye Undercard

[leforge]

Annouced on ringside:

Sexton V Edwards Commonwealth Flyweight
Hall V Davis British Bantamweight


What do people think of these being main support fights?

[jlh]

Largely will depend on if these are the main support. They are ok Friday night fights but certainly not PPV bouts. Knowing Haye though, these will probably be on the PPV card.
Really shows how good Warren is these days compared to Haye or maybe how crap Haye is to Warren.

[neil hibbert]

both good evenly matched bouts, something i would sooner see than and big name having an easy fight

[idle talk]

Same here!! Both exciting fights! Is that Paul Edwards or chris Edwards tho?

sexton has just fought plus he will have to shift some weight to make flyweight.

No it shows how under pressure Allegedly is to deliver better quality bills after years of taking the piss.

answered my earlier question I deleted, ta

[reggaereggae]

what a discticly average underacrd. They really should've moved Groves to the bill

[Autobarn]

not a great undercard.

we should have expected much better.

after FW's mag 7 bill, where almost all the fights were interesting or impressive, you would have hoped for haye to do something a bit better.

remember the fights hayemaker put on, lindsay v appleby, quigley v dodson? paying viewers should be getting something like that, as the taster to such a big event.

that said, haye won't care, as he's making so much more money than any of them for a very easy, very high profile contest.

haye's not the only one - its not the first uninspiring PPV undercard and standards have slipped, however.

looking forward to the hall v davies fight

[neil hibbert]

i dont see the problem with the 2 undercard fights announced so far, both really good exciting fights but hey thats just my opinion cant wait for it though

[chiggsy]

Have quigley,dodson or dilks got anything lined up in the near future?
I'm sure all three would take the opportunity to get back to winning ways on a big show such as this.

dodson is gunna be on the undercard of this bill fightin at light heavy from now

[Autobarn]

hayemaker really splashing out on stonking undercard, eh? not to disrespect the hardworking flyweights and bantams, but these are hardly red hot divisions are they? ok for hayemaker as he seems to be intending to cash out in about a year but it does feel a bit cynical. i would rather have some fighters i know from bigger weights in great matchups, to keep me interested and hanging around for the main event.

[alexpaterson]

2 even well matched fights on the undercard hopefully SKY show the excellent card across the pond as well!! Should be a memorable night of boxing

[Rockys gum shield]

The Haye vs Ruiz undercard was a disgrace to be honest I spent the whole evening other then the Groves fight at the bar.

This doesn't seem much different. Its a good job I'm giving this fight a miss.

People complained about the last Haye undercard, but that was like the Superbowl and Wrestlemania combined, compared to this one!

[Asterix]

As it looks so far, I think I'll only watch the main event.

[saturday_kid]

theyre 2 good fights, maybe they will announce some more soon eh, give them chance.

[SteveDow]

Two ok fights but when I've splashed out £150 on a ticket (other will have spent up to £800) I'd expect a bit more than this, especially given that the main event is unlikely to last very long. Surely Groves should have been put on this card rather than one at York Hall two weeks earlier. If they added Dodson and John Watson (who I think is still with Hayemeker) that would make it marginally better. That said, I do think that every live PPV bill should have at least 2 intriguing fights with high profile names.

[saturday_kid]

I agree they should have Groves on

[ourkid1984]

2 title fights is no bad thing on an undercard, most Klit fights barely have any other title fights so to have a total of 3 so far isn't tooo bad. Groves needs to go on his own a bit now otherwise he will be like enzo to Joe and Matthew to Ricky and never get truly recognised as a decent fighter in his own right.

Considering Haye barely has any fighters under his promotions anymore after it was built on expecting Setanta not to fold he has to do with fighters who put their self forward and that sounds easy with it being Pay Per View World Heavyweight title show but everyone knows how hard it is to get opposing fighters to fight on other promotions - The main reason why Groves vs De Gale hasn't happened.

Buying tickets BEFORE the undercard is announced and then complaining about it's quality and you're expected more for your money

All you had to do was look at the haye Vs Ruiz undercard to know what sort of stuff would be served up.

OK smart arse, but if I'd waited until the under card had been announced I would have had to pay 600 pounds plus for a ticket as none of the others are left. The point I was trying to make was that the under card should be of better quality when fans are paying large amounts of money for tickets. Shame morons like you have to spend their time patronising others.
