David Haye faces punishment after branding Liverpool crowd "f****** retards" during press conference

[BigDoofus]

lol @ the Echo, they know their audience clearly.

Earlier promoter Eddie Hearn had encouraged the fans get involved, saying: “Feel free to shout shout what you like at David Haye. He’s an awfully nice guy!”

what a pudendum. Camp Eddie, I mean.

He's the man the BBB of C should speak to, after Ian John-Lewis and Terry O'Crolla. I bet they don't.

indeed

As has already been said in this thread, Adam Smith said 'Make as much noise as you want' and the mob obliged, drowning out most attempts to speak by Ohara Davies and of course David Haye when they took to the microphone.

I think Haye did get rattled but it would be ridiculous to start dishing out fines etc.

I thought the best line was from Shane McGuigan when he said that Eddie Hearn is using Bellew as cannon fodder to see how much Haye has got left while he considers making the fight with Joshua. I think there is some truth in that.

I'm sure there's a lot of truth in that

I thought that press conference in Liverpool was an embarrassment. I quite like Bellew in his quieter moments - despite myself - but it’s not all Haye this. In my opinion they both do the sport no service with this type of stuff.
I’m interested in Bellew’s comment on Haye’s punching limitations .....anyone want to speculate on his comment about Haye only being able to throw “loopers”....Bellew seemed to point to “evidence” of other fighters having been quite badly compromised this way

Personally I don’t think Haye would have taken it if he couldn’t fight....but his injuries must flare up enough to disrupt him....I’m thinking of those two Fury pullouts.

That's a decent theory

You can't hold a press conference in Liverpool and not expect scousers to dish out a bit. It's what we're known for.

You are mainly known for thinking you are known for things that you're really not known for.

Haha, its all good fun isn't it

One thing that is frustrating me with this build up is Bellew constantly saying - I am the world champ. I AM THE WORLD CHAMP and really going on and on about it.

The response should be: "Well done, you won a vacant title against a guy in his first title fight. Have you ever beaten a current world champion?"

* I know Makabu is decent enough, but it was a vacant strap due to the real world champion being injured and by god does Bellew milk this.

But that'd be devaluing the fight itself.

Also, Haye did brag about the Arnold Gjerjaj fight, stopping the "man with the longest unbeaten record in boxing."

I'm sure Wilder was longer at the time still

maybe, but if not it just shows how padded the record of Gjerjaj really was, because he had no clue defensively or offensively how to handle himself.

I'd shag him, just to show him what a real man is.

No gay.
