    I hope Sky put it on PPV, at least they will do a good job hyping it. I would buy it, no problem at all.

    Not without going back on their own policy, so I assume not.

    Without Sky Box Office, I'm guessing that the amount of money Haye could generate is going to be seriously reduced. I can't see Primetime getting 500,000 buys or whatever.
     
  6. If it attracts interest from the general public it will be on Sky PPV.

    What corporations say and what they do can be two different things.

    I can't see Sky risking giving Haye another PPV. They've walked away from PPV because of Haye. They are hardly likely to throw their hat into the ring again with Haye being their return to the format.
     
  8. I've no idea.

    It's probably the only way the fight can be hyped enough to generate the kind of money that Haye will want in order to fight again.

    But their PR will take a hit having served up several PPV snoozers from Haye.... Crimetime are more of a supply and demand kind of operation, a bit like a cheap hooker really.

    If you want it bad enough you'll fork out.

    Sky should pay Haye big money but put it on Sky Sports anyway. Sky owe it to the fans.

    I think Sky will go with it, however I think they'd be a little bit less pro-Haye in their build-up.

    I think it will either be on 'normal' Sky or Primetime.

    Surely twice bitten, thrice shy for Sky and PPV.

    I'll be amazed if this is on normal sky and not on box office. So what they said they're stopping PPV's a few months back, they'll change their tune when its all about "Haye's revenge" or whatever gimmick it is they use to sell the fight.

    Money talks.

    It's a Klitscho show now, Haye is just a paid performer not the star attaction. Sky maybe quite happy to deal with Vitali as he and brother Wlad made very good inpressions last time round.

    No way sky puts in on PPV.

    After the Audley fight, and then the Vlad fight Haye was a let down and no way are they putting another fight v a Klitchko on PPV after the last debacle.

    haye just has to accept he will be getting a smaller pay day.
