Haye seems to have the power and is a slick enough boxer but tends to carry his hands too low from the little I have seem of him. Certainly there have been questions about his stamina and ability to take a shot, but can't say I've seen enough of him to be able to judge properly.

Iceman, if you read what I said, you will see that I asked how much it pulled in regularly. I mentioned that the Mayweather v De La Hoya will be the biggest boxing PPV event ever, and it is likely to be so by quite a distance. I then went on to say that most of the biggest fights generate nowhere near that amount of PPV's.
That said, your figures are way off the mark. The biggest PPV event ever in terms of buys was Holyfield v Tyson II that generated 1.99mn. Lewis-Tyson was the biggest grossing with 1.95mn buys. Outside of the heavyweight division to my knowledge the biggest PPV fight was Trinidad-De La Hoya at 1.25mn
I prefer boxing because it's a much better spectacle at least it is south of Cruiserweight, the heavyweight fights generally speaking these days are pretty boring, although there have been a couple of exceptions in the last year.

Give me boxing anyday. How much does it pull regularly on PPV? Can't see it beating Pretty Boy Floyd vs De La Hoya (although i'm not trying to represent that boxing PPV's generally draw anywhere near what that fight's going to generate)

I hear Séan Kelly is in England this year? Whereabouts? Christ, if he is in London he'd be some addition to our team!

I hadn't heard the one CJ's services being punted arpund to the highest bidder, but it sounds a lot like bullsh*t to me. It's very easy to come on a message board and say stuff like that.
I'll agree his attitude stinks however. After 10 years as a great talent with an enormous mouth I'm not sure if he can change at this stage. Kevin has improved over the years as he has matured but CJ I think is probably worse than Kevin was - probably because there isn't a player on the team close to him, where as on our team Kevin wasn't necessarily the star of the show every day.
I'd love to see the Galls go on and win the thing. It would be a great achievement and would keep the momentum going at underage, with hopefully a few of the boys graduating to the seniors in th not too distant future
