So you are suggesting Vitali is taking the fight based on the fight being on SBO ? If thats the case you're then suggesting SKY have agreed for it to be on it then. If thats the case this topic is dead. What i am certain of, is if Vitali had a choice being on SKY TV or some small ass Primetime channel he make 10 bob off, he choose sky.
As much as I enjoy it Ive got no plans to pay £15 to see Haye take a one sided beating again. If sky put it on Boxoffice they look like mugs for talking **** and they will get hassle of kahn and Froch for them to go boxoffice in the future. Primetime would have no qualms about doing it but it all depends on whether haye still has a contract with sky or not (no idea about his contract at all). It would still probably do ok but would be well short of the Wlad numbers as even the generals see Haye for what he is now.
They would be stupid to do so. Haye has been involved in two fights which stunk the place out - Harrison and Klitchsko. Make that 3 as the Valuev fight was ****ing horrible.
After Haye's non-performance against Wladmir i promised myself i wouldn't shell out for a PPV again. Absolutely nothing about this fight appeals to me. The only thing that could save it would be a strong undercard, but i won't be holding my breath. To answer your question, i think it's more likely Sky would put it on free-to-air after last time, when not only was the fight a complete waste of time, but Sky made quite a hash of getting it on at all for a good number of customers.
That's a good point. Everyone raves about how nice and gentlemanly the Klitschkos are but they're the biggest money grabbing ****s of the lot! Boring fights (alright, not their fault) but they never fight on the same bill to maximise profit and the undercards are always a ****ing shower so they get a load of the gate. ...Yeah, I don't like them.
Definitely possible. All this nonsense they wont do PPV next year. Lets see what happens If May and Pac get it on.
Because like it or not he's a big attraction. If a story or a rumor drops about Haye sky are all over it. But some people will always be blinded by hate.
I think you can rule BoxNation out.. With hardly anyone subscribing they might not even exist come march!
