Haye gets 3 million viewers

They are CRAZY numbers for a comparatively small island like the UK. British boxing always has that crossover potential when the fans have a legitimate contender to get behind. But 3 million people is staggering really.

 

Well people pay to see a guy that can throw a really good punch, Haye is one of those guys.

 

David haye love him or hate him has alwas been a massive draw but to pull such numbers on his own after nearly 4 years out is Impressive

 

All things considered, it seems that it was a gamble (for all parties involved) that paid off. Good for the sport in the UK too. Would be nice to think that with Fury as the legit HW champ, Joshua on the up, Haye on the comeback trail, as well as all the other titlists that we have produced in recent times that boxing could return to it's late 80's/early 90's British heyday...we can but hope/dream!

 

Hearn will hide his boy for as long as he can.

 

That's great, now he'll have many reasons options because the wallets will be wide open for him

 

Joshua has a better chin than Haye. White would've dropped Haye. He hits harder than Haye too.

People act like Haye would get in the ring with Joshua when he hasn't fought anyone in years. UK Andre Ward.

 

I imagine that Joshua will go down the IBF route and Haye will go for Chagaev's WBA regular title and they will try to have some inferior "unification" fight.

 

Well that would make two glass jawed, roided beasts in the ring at the same time.

 

Very impressive viewing figures for Haye especially considering his time out and the level of opponent he was facing. It's pretty clear he's still a draw, if he is managed well to another title shot or even wins a title his money problems will soon disappear. An eventual fight with Fury or AJ later down the line could both earn him millions.
