I'm in Britain and just curious? Is the fight on free TV in the US? Whats the thoughts about seeing a big fight at 3/4pm? Is it gonna clash with other sports, detract from atmosphere etc? Personally i'd love to sit down to a live big fight in the afternoon but can imagine some will be against it!
I do not think it is on an american channel. Too bad. I want to see this one. I am curious is Valuev fights with a little more intensity and uses his size more. The guys he fought before like Ruiz and Holyfield were tough good chinned guys. Haye might not have as good a chin, which might make the fight more interesting.
I might order it. Sounds crazy, but something tells me Valuev has something to deal with more than people think the way he did beat Ruiz and Holyfield. Winning is the key and he has done it regardless of how it was done. He is effective to have held that title for long enough. It will be interesting. I like Haye and I love his right hand- it is fast and impressive, but in this fight he has to reach pretty high, and maybe he can hit the body, but something tells me Valuev will not be a pushover. Come the 6th round I just wonder what a big guy leaning on Haye will do to Haye's stamina. I just think Valuev has a chance, which probably means Haye will win by first round knockout the way I have been at picking fights the last few years. I have been wrong on most of them.
Directv in the US is carrying it.(DishNet is not) Bell ExpressVu and StarChoice are doing the same in Canada.
its funny beause hayes fights a box office £15 deal here in the uk but the manny pacqiou v cotto fight is free on sky sports
Us lot in england only have PPV when a british fighter is involved, eg, Khan, Hatton or Haye, whereas Pac vs Cotto, Mayweather Marquez ect is free for us. But i refuse to pay £15 to wach Khan till he steps up and fights better opposition or unifies
