Imagine this being held at Old trafford and shown live on channel 5.

Sell the tickets at a competitive price & get a 50K+ live gate and aim for the biggest audience yet on channel 5

It could be massive

I'd pay any amount of money to watch Haye smear Fury all over the canvas.
and thats what would happen...and they know that, so they'll steer clear of haye, unless down the road with a world title strap on the line..big 'if' that
in fairness to fury, and i have slagged him off enough in the past..he is improving all the time...even physically he's much better than he was.

It would never happen but Fury vs Haye is a HUGE event even if it is a complete mis-match.

Old Trafford hasn't hosted boxing since it became the great stadium it is now but I suspect that, with the right ticket prices and mixture of local fighters on the undercard and 1 or 2 British title fights, 75,000 is not unrealistic.

It would be massive, but Haye would take him out brutally. Trouble is, no way would Haye take that fight. He (rightly) considers himself above it. I don't like Haye, but he legitimately operates at the top world title level, he's in that mix. Fury got a points decision over a very out-of-shape, undermotivated Chisora, whereas Haye flattened a well-prepared, focussed and determined Chisora in the first half of the fight. Haye's other opponents at heavyweight are mostly world level, Fury's are mostly unknown. Haye would rather not fight than reduce himself to indulging the back page fans and Fury's ego by taking that fight. I quite like Fury, like how he is coming along, but Fury going straight to Haye now would be as ridiculous and undeserved as Khan getting Mayweather next.
