David Haye vs Audley Harrison talks are taking place right now

Promoter Barry Hearn tells Sky Sports News that negotiations are moving forward to make an all British showdown between his fighter Audley Harrison and WBC heavyweight champion David Haye. Hearn's son Eddie is involved in the talks, that Hearn says are going well. The fight doersn't mean much in the United States. For British fans the fight is huge.

"I'm not part of these negotiations; my son Eddie is fronting up the discussions," Hearn said. "We are in talks, I understand the talks are going reasonably well. In the heavyweight division, there is nothing else out there as far as British fight fans are concerned, Harrison-Haye is enormous. The fantastic thing about David Haye is that he's burst on the scene and done a fantastic job against [Nikolay] Valuev, boxed the ears off [John] Ruiz and put him into retirement. He's hot.

Haye is a huge draw in England, but Hearn says Harrison is a bigger draw because of his up and down career. The opportunity to fight Haye would certainly be the last major title shot for Harrison.

"Audley Harrison, in my opinion, is a bigger draw. People don't know what to expect from Audley Harrison, he's been talking a great fight for years, never delivered it. He's at that last stage saloon - every fight fan in England wants to see this fight. The fight's going to be amazing. I hope Eddie and Adam Booth get this fight together. Watch this space.

harrison the bigger draw..interesting..soo talks with that in mind means harrison will get at least 40 percent or more..sorry this isnt snobish but dam right this fight means nothing in the usa..if its huge in britian it should tell you the desperation of those fans..of course a brian london dick richardson etc etc was huge in there day also..pathetic is what it is..

Hearn is talking out of his buttocks, Harrison isn't a draw and nobody is excited for this fight in the UK.

Damn, Haye is a joke.

If Haye agrees to Harrison getting 40% + from this fight, how bad does that make his ducking of Wlad & Vitali look!?

I'd say it makes him look like an imbecile. Audley would be lucky to get 25%.

Man Haye is Gay. I like how he said that he wouldnt fight him now he is going to fight that bum. Hell Haye is a bum too.

I would love to see Highlander bitch slap him.

why????????????

I'd have ZERO problem with this fight if Haye were doing ANYTHING else. But if this is ALL he is doing? Ugh.

PLEASE GOD HEAR ME. PLEASE LET HARRISON KO HAYE. THAT WAY I DO NOT HAVE TO HEAR HIS MOUTH ANYMORE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME GOD.

lol lol sooner good prayer and im hoping its ansered.

Hey Its worth a try right? LOL

If Haye was fighting 4 times a year, with 3 against very worthy opponents and he wanted to throw in a big money gimme like this, then fine. But he is going to fight Ruiz and Fraudley during 2010 and that is it. That is pathetic.

Haye's HW career:
Monte Barrett - 11/15/08
Valuev- 11/7/09
Ruiz-4/13/10
Fraudley-?/?/10
And lots of ducking

Haye is a bitch. No other way to put it.

Sky Sports the only real boxing network in the UK wants it to happen, they think it will sell pay per views in the UK.

Sure a former LINEAL champion is a bum, if that's the case what does that make Allan Green ?

LOL here we go again. You can be a bum and a Lineal champ at the same time. Ask Baldi.

Haye needs to FIGHT! If the Kit bros have fights lined up against Peter and Briggs? Then I guess I have no problem with this fight, Just hope all three win and one of the Klit bros fights my boy Haye! Trust me Haye will KO Vitali right now!
