    onDigital/ITV Digital did run for a while.. like Top Up TV.. that rivalled Sky..

    It was PPV Freeview with a card and box.. I wonder if it'll go back to that?


    Otherwise Sky would have to be involved.. I'm sure Sky doesn't take anything from Boxnation with their PPV service.. or maybe they do and that's why it cost £30 per fight?

    According to Big Abdul, Sky discussed this for a few weeks and decided no. Haye's fights a real possibility.

    Why are Sky so reluctant to deal with Haye? He's fought twice now this year and seems to be healthy plus he does great numbers- why not give him a go on PPV?

    The stinkers v Klit and Fraudley 2 good reasons where he took the huge sums, promised cracking fights and both were pony. Then he fooked them about when the infamous cut injury 1 week before the Fury fight.

    This has not been forgot by Sky or the public.

    People know Haye is only interested in money.

    Good points. Haye killed PPV on Sky and it was a long road back to redemption for Sky before they were putting on PPV's again. That's why I think the only fight they are interested in using Haye for is a Joshua fight. Minimal risk, Joshua guarantees big numbers and the public are entertained by him.
