Haye card to be broadcast from YouTube

Two things really.... one he had to do something like this in order to "give back" to the fans and secondly the TV companies may see it as a risk seen as he pulled out of his last 3 fights through injury, so will want to see him actually turn up and fight before giving him full backing.

 

No TV company would touch him with a barge pole right now; especially given what a joke card it is.

 

Pretty much this.

It's a touch worrying if he couldn't even get the likes of Spike etc interested. He clearly will want to be back on Sky on the O2 card. The issue is- would Haye box on a Joshua undercard? When was the last time he didn't main event a card?

 

Doubt he'd box on AJ's undercard - he'd maybe agree to co-headline with AJ on Sky PPV then setting up a fight between the pair of them?

 

It depends how badly he needs the money I guess. A couple of fights on YouTube wouldn't be the worst idea as he found his feet.

If he's having issues filling the O2 why doesn't he fight at the Copperbox?

 

If it's a free YouTube stream I might watch if it is a pay per view I will not watch.

 

I think AJ's undercard is exactly where he would want to be, assuming he puts in an impressive performance. Will want casuals to see both him and AJ fight on same night and call for the match-up.

 

If Hearn is smart he wouldn't allow AJ anywhere near Hearn for a while yet.

 

?? How will they discuss their next moves or promotions? Or do you mean that Eddie should keep AJ away from his dad Barry or the other way around? haha

 

'Give back???' It's a sign that he's basically toxic to the tv companies, he could 'give back' by being on terrestrial tv/free view tv channel, this is only happening because no tv channel will touch him right now for very obvious reasons

 

Rights fees aren't what they used to be (maximum of around £100k for the average Sky Sports show) so Haye may have turned down an offer from a broadcaster.

At least this way we all get to see it for free. Could prove to be a model for the future.

 

But with this potentially shown for free on YouTube, won't this have a further negative impact on ticket sells, I had a look at ticket prices for this as its only down the road, but I couldn't justify 40 quid to watch this show

 

Maybe that is why he has left it late to say where it can be viewed so maybe he has a rough idea on how well the show is doing and that is why he has decided to tell us now! Maybe just maybe it is selling well?
