We got Groves fight which was a great scrap, and a couple of rounds of davies-hall. Terrible PPV show. If this Haye-Haye is over in 3 rounds I am putting my boot through my 42"LCD

I was going to say the same thing... but then you would accuse me of complaing!
lol!
But yeah, this build up is shit.
We got a good opener, then some limp highlights. For pay per view, this is a joke.

Haha, exactly what i thought!
Showing Audley's strengths against Coleman Barrett.
Never has 'clutching at straws' been such an understated term.

Do they really need to talk up Haye vs Harrison so much to people who have already decided to watch the fight?

They've tried a old skool FA cup final type of build up, but it's failed. Far too much padding and not enough boxing.

Thinking of writing a complaint to be honest , not about the fight as thats our own faults for buying , but about the coverage , the lack of action shown , the lack of an undercard - if they want the main event to be pay per view theyve got to provide a reasonable undercard , seems all hayemaker cards only really have groves on the undercard , id rather have 5 poor fights than listen to all the crap for ages though . also as i said above , theres no reason for there to be adverts between rounds when weve already paid for it , winds me up enough when its on sky sports as weve already subscribed but on a pay per view it really shouldnt happen , complaining is the only way to get it on their mind as boycotting ppv's is pointless as the hype will suck in the casual fans

Terrible ppv, mcguigan didn't know thought it was torrance in the dressing room watching the wrapping and then didn't know the trainer's name. Nelson making a case for Harrison for the sake of it. worst still no boxing apart from groves and two rounds of Hall
