    Would be great for Haye to have a fight on terrestrial tv. It will do his image and profile in the UK a world of good.

    What ITV need to do is get away from Hennessey, his stable of fighters is boiring now Thaxton has retired and Froch is Primetime. At this stage I prefer watching Hattons fights

    They should go for: Murray and Haye if possible. Murray always makes for good fights, and all three times I've seen him on iTV they've been good, rugged matches.

    Haye should be on terrestrial. No excuse for that - he's a good fighter, a two time, two weight world champion, once unified the belts at cruiser, is good looking, can talk confidently on camera, and generally makes for exciting fights.

    Haye on terrestrial tv. I doubt it. Why would he throw away all that PPV money?

    Cause the Ruiz fight isn't worth anything, really. But, being featured on iTV at primetime on a saturday would get Haye a lot of coverage. If he then goes for PPV against a Klitschko, that would make the temporary drop in income worth it.

    a heavyweight world champion should be a terrestrial tv star anyway no doubt about it...the boxing on itv is usually a pretty good watch tooo so lets keep it going!

    1 week they are finished the next week they are going after Haye. I wont beleive it till I see it. I cant see Haye moving from Sky now no way will Sky **** up again with Haye so just on that point alone I cant see it happening.

    It would be great on terrestrial TV but I agree that there is to much PPV money for Haye to make in the future...:yep

    They need to get some decent boxing then, **** this hennessy pish, it just makes us look bad. Haye is probably the best route to go but if we want some other decent cards then i think we have to look at Hatton promotions. He's got a good stable of skilled, exciting young fighters and Macklin. However, the risk of him showing Matthew hatton as the main event makes it a bit risky
