you would think the bbc would jump at the chance of replaying the haye fight, what with him starting out with his fights on the bbc? maybe the bbc showing it would jeopordise jenson button being sports personality of the year, the beeb always jump at the chance to give it to someone that they've televised, they love the smell of there own ****. tis a shame really.
I hope the BBC show it but they have made it plain and clear that they do not intend to show any pro boxing in the near future. ITV are probably not interested either unless they could get it free.
Very good point. I hope they show it. Although Warren probably had to sign Calzaghe over to a few 'Strictly' shows to make certain the deal.
Let's hope, for boxing's sake, that it doesn't get on the beeb or itv. Wise up folks. THE FIGHT WAS A BAG OF SH*TE. As for SPOTY, forget it. Jenson Button is nailed on. Although there has to be some merit to talking your way into a fight, which Haye most certainly did. And was it just me, or did Sauerland, Schaeffer and King look pleased Haye had won. Surely the judges were not looking in his favour. Big ring as well. Watched again this morning, and people saying haye won widely are talking bollocks. He ran all night and landed so little it was laughable. Remember Nelson v De Leon. Remember Akinwande. Jesus, Haye made Andre Dirrell look like Roberto Duran. As for heavyweight champion... he is manifestly not that until he beats one or both of the Klitschkos. However, he won. So we can all look forward to that barnburner with John Ruiz. Err, would that be the same Ruiz who lost twice to Valuev. And the same who had his ears boxed off by little Roy Jones. And who figured in those epics with ancient Evander. Can hardly wait.
^partly agree. i want to see it on the tv cos my stream was ****. however, there will be loads of noobs who will see that and realise the fight was a pile of crock and be turned off. so it might be better just to let them read about it.
its on sky a few times over the weekend, i think the jc was a setanta deal with bbc, i have not known a sky box office deal with the bbc or itv, except maybe hatton tzsyu
There was Hatton v Floyd but that was 2 years ago now. But I do recall for that fight, sky didn't show it delayed later in the week. Every other time recently sky have repeated the PPV on standard sky sports. With that happening this time as well, I can't see BBC or ITV showing it soon.
Haye made upwards of £4mill on the fight, he is hardly likely to want the beeb to show it for a fraction of that.
