Say what you will about Haye, but he still attracts good viewing figures, even on a minor freeview channel. That's why , in commercial terms Joshua v Haye is a bigger fight than Josh v Fury
And that's with virtually no promotion from Channel 5/Mick. Not entirely sure the Haskins card did that badly because you are almost certain of 400k whatever you put on Channel 5 at that time. Interesting that the biggest draw outside of Joshua seems to be Callum Smith.
Do you think his numbers would rise further on Channel 5? I'm not convinced they would. Not dramatically anyway.
Yes Haye is the big attraction for the public who love all this WWE stuff. Would be huge on ITV or Channel 5
