    Losing money has NOTHING to do with it. Do you even realize how HBO works? They have subscribers and that is how they make or lose money. They pay a license fee for the fights they show from their budget they set at the beginning of the year. There is no way for them to LOSE money on ANY fight that is on regular HBO. Now, on a PPV fight yes they can lose money. Wlad has never even fought on HBO PPV.

    If HBO won't then Sky probably will do something similar the fight is that big

    This would actually be interesting for a change, fresh faces with Wlad being the articulate trash talker and Haye the trash **** talker. Quite a show Wlad put on the other night owning that British interview and Haye can perform with his mouth too.

    Count me in!

    It's a shame they sold out to HBO. Should have went with ShowTime. HBO is ruining boxing...(well along with all the other bullsh*t in the sport)

    Yeah, they could just get the rights to the Sky ones and edit it a little.

    Do a 24/7 for a fight that will be shown on tape delay in the US? Wouldn't make much sense.

    Unfortunately not...no HBO PPV equals no HBO 24/7. :verysad

    It would've been great with all Haye's trash-talking.

    I really hope Sky Sports does something nice for it.
