    Haye would be excluded from the deal though.

    :lol::lol:

    From peoples reports ESPN is looking good a bit to much baseball im hearing. But I heard they showed cinderalla man something on tyson. That coupled with FNF....ESPN is looking more and more attractive.
    Im trying to get a proper listing of there main site but its not working on my end.

    Haye is only contracted to SKY for one fight with Valuev. I doubt he's doing more but who knows

    It's just a rumour ATM. Haye has also signed a contract with SBO so he won't be included in the deal. If ESPN do sign Hayemaker as well as televise FFN LIVE (as well as keep the re-runs on the next day) then it's a good start.

    Interesting. Knowing sky its probably more than 1 fight. But I heard ESPN were looking to work with sky rather than against them like Setanta first did...Not sure if im right :? but I remember someone posted something along those

    hayemaker+prem football+ufc gets my signature although some big hbo cards wouldnt be too much to ask for 12 quid per month.anyone else really really really missing setanta?

    they need to pick up live british/irish promtions...to get my money...hennesay and haymaker would be a coup for them

    If they pick up Hayemaker and another british and German promoter it would be great

    I can't see it happening.
    Hayemaker ex Haye will have a problem finding a home.

    espn have completely different ethos on buying rights to setanta.

    setanta would jsut steam roll in and over bid to guarentee they had stuff. ESPN are getting the best deals possible.

    would be great if they get Hayemaker and Hennesey (super six)

    That said, signing up Hennessey doesn't secure all of the super 6 fights- it would just secure Froch's bouts (however many he has).
