I think it was more about raising awareness of the charity he is representing than him promoting himself.PokerRob wrote:Using cancer as a publicity stunt. This guy never fails to amaze me.

A worth while cause but was met a tirade of abuse for taking the piss out of his fans who were waiting for him to announce an actual real life opponent instead of a publicity stunt.
This isn't a joke by the way.
The post was "this is it -my next opponent is......cancer". Check his facebook page.

Re: Haye announces today.............
Cancer has been around longer than Haye, everyone knows about cancer. Haye has done this to promote himself off the bakc of a nasty disease, why say he has an opponent making people in the boxing family believe that he is going to announced his next opponent. He could simply put up a cancer ad on his twitter account and his many fan would see it.
I find it a little distasteful to be honest

This is the Tweet
@StandUp2C This is it. My next opponent. Something we can all help destroy... #StandUpToCancer
So David Haye has cancer, Im sure he is not joking by saying that comment as by saying something such as this to fool people would be very distasteful.
I hope you get all the therapy you require.

Re: Haye announces today.............
Don't get your knickers in a twist, lads.
He's supporting a worthwhile campaign and by saying he has an announcement to make tomorrow he built up some anticipation for the reveal and got people checking his twitter feed all day.
It's disappointing that it wasn't announcing a fight, but he didn't say it was going to be a fight. So you've been duped, but that was the whole point, to raise as much awareness as possible.
It's funny that you're all so worked up when he's actually doing something positive.

There was a thread on here stating, entirely without evidence, that he hadn't given the promised money to Nick Blackwell.

Re: Haye announces today.............
Calm down people - I would much rather hear that Haye is supporting a tremendous cause rather then him announcing that he is fighting another bum on Dave or the comedy channel.
Re: Haye announces today.............
I don't think you understand. Him promoting a well known charity obviously means he's pretending to have cancer himself, and that's nothing to joke about.Manchester Hitman wrote:Calm down people - I would much rather hear that Haye is supporting a tremendous cause rather then him announcing that he is fighting another bum on Dave or the comedy channel.
HE'S THE WORST PERSON ALIVE! Or something....

This is true; at least this is worthwhile, although he could have just announced it from the off, rather than announce that he's going to announce something, which is hugely annoying.Manchester Hitman wrote:Calm down people - I would much rather hear that Haye is supporting a tremendous cause rather then him announcing that he is fighting another bum on Dave or the comedy channel.

If this is true, I like it.
I think Pulev gets over looked by many and will be a stern test. I'd say this is bordering on a pick em fight

I can't see Pulev risking a #1 ranking by fighting Haye in England.
With the amount of fighters who are unavailable, who's left for Haye to fight?

Re: Haye announces today.............
Well, after all it was basically Briggs who payed it and Haye who walked away with the fame, name and honour. The Briggs fight was way more interesting as the Daffy vs the worm fight. And so the Briggs fight was a serious moneymaker. And that while Briggs his opponent nearly went to distance when he fought the worm. In other words, Briggs is clearly a massive step up compared to the worm.ILikeBeer wrote:People just like to criticise Haye, even when there's nothing to criticise him for.youngrell wrote:Don't get your knickers in a twist, lads.

Yea, most people didn't even know who on earth the wurm was indeed. His name was Gjergjaj or something from Kosovo if I'm not mistaken. Oh it's worm lol, I'll edit it.clopixolacuphase wrote:Who is the Wurm?
