    This sums it up really. Haye was a nobody while he was hidden away on Setanta-can you imagine how many buys his fight with Enzo would have got had it been on sky box office?

    It's a shame, but it seems the only way to become a true star in british boxing is to be part of the 'mega hype-train' that is the constant build up for PPV fights on Sky Sports News.

    I hope it's good news. I assume it's fairly radical, otherwise not so many cancellations and a hoo-ha.
