    I've heard rumours that Haye vs Ruiz might be on "free tv" which would be great!

    cant see that happening. hes a sky box office fighter and them letting him fight on terestrial would be like giving away free money.

    Very much doubt it.

    The simple reason is that Haye made sky and himself a fortune on this fight on Box office, the same just wouldn't happen on terrestrial, sadly.

    There is benefits to millions domestically seeing your fights though, a one off like this can be very beneficial for his career at this stage.

    I wouldnt be surprised if it was on terrestrial and his fights in the states agains the klitchkos get picked up by sky again(and hbo)

    Sky gave him this opportunity and get first refusal, they arent going to be passing on revenue.

    we should watch what we say about Warren.

    The Holmes Show called me this morning to let me know he had been banned for comments regarding Fish Face.

    fWank; go **** yourself :good you are a bitter man who rarely takes a risk, and when he does it is a matchup no one wants to see (Mitchell vs Prescott for instance)

    If I get banned, consider me a martyr :rofl :good

    I think the first time I saw him fight was against Roger Bowden, that was his third fight.

    EDIT - my mistake, checking now it was vs Saber Zairi, Haye's second pro fight. Got it on tape, same tape as Haye-Thompson (and Thompson-Rothmann)

    It's always cool when it's someone you've watched develop over years achieve big things. I had the same thing with Carl Froch and watching his early fights at the time...I seem to remember him being a much quieter guy back then too! :D

    The telegraph reckon the fight done about 800,000 buys. With Haye earning £5 per buy

    Got a feeling Father Christmas is going to be very nice to Cassius Haye this year.
