    :hey:hey:hey
    Love the name drop :lol::lol: It is a interesting point no SBO, so if he wants a PPV deal then Primetime or Boxnation is best route. All though if he fought on channel 5 and won, the Wlad rematch would no doubt be 10 times bigger and be back on Box Office......

    Channel 5? No chance.

    Hopefully it'll be PPV on BoxNation, watch the rattles fly out of the prams then! ;-)

    I can't believe people are gunna go thru all this bollocks again with Haye.

    The only point in it is so Haye can get another undeserved payday. And he is fine with sacrificing his pride and self respect to do so coz he will talk more **** and get a worse beating this time.
    Iv no interest in seeing Haye and no interest in lining his pockets. For what it's worth I hope vitali decapitates him in the first round. That's about the only potential plus of this fight

    But think about it, no one is going to sign upto Boxnation to watch Haye vs Vitali, I.E the infamous "casuals" as it's a min 6 month contract, so if you wanted to watch the fight it in a sense costing £60!

    Primetime is dead, anyone who fights on it gets limited exposure. If he is serious about the long term plans, and honestly thinks he can beat Vitali, Sky Sports or Channel 5 is best route, then he would deserve Box Office if he beats Vitali.

    If he was on BN or Primetime and won, the victory would go unnoticed in general.

    If hes in it for 1 fight and only the money they he will go BN/PT, if hes in it to rebuild his name, and lead to a future Wlad rematch he will go SP/CH5

    I'd be very surprised if it's not on Primetime. Realistically they are the only possible PPV outlet for the fight, and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to work out the only stumbling block in negotiations here is working out which British broadcaster offers the most cash.

    Would that fight generate enough subsribers to make that worthwhile? I know Setanta did the same thing with Hatton-Castilo....

    Haye will go to Primetime, even though he owes the fans a non-PPV fight after Harrison and Wlad.

    Haye is big news now by himself; he doesn't need the Sky machine so much.

    I would expect it to be PPV on primetime however if BN got the fight it would really be a coup as it will increase subscriptions guaranteed. You would also have most pubs up and down the country signing up for it too as it is likely to be during 'pub' hours

    Bet it'll be Primetime if it happens, can't see Boxnation getting it.

    I never begrudged paying to see Haye, he used to be the most exciting boxer in Britain. His last 2 outings have definitely damaged his legacy, So I reckon he,ll go all out to stop Vitali to finish on a high or go out falling on his sword. It would be more more fitting given his career as a whole rather than just the last 2 fights.

    Hmm. In Fwanks The Sun article today he doesn't exactly slag Haye off like he used to. Just mentions the toe and Wlad saying Vitali will knock him out. Interesting

    Fwank changing his tune again... no way! Haye would rather go to a less audience/more money than work with him.

    Haye and this fight will go wherever provides the most money. If it's BoxNation, so be it.
