Thread: Haye comeback fight on free to air tv

Just read that Sky and BT sports have no interest in showing it on January 16th.
ITV, Channel 5 and Spike tv are all said to be possibles to show it.
Should be revealed in the next few days.

hmmm wonder why

who is promoting it?

I think Haye himself is and the fact hes being trained by Mcguigan jnr makes me think ITV might grab this with a bit of history they had showing Frampton fights.
If Haye wins this then he's automatically right back in the mix whether people are sick of him or not.
Fact is he's facing a top 10 ranked fighter which is risky for anyone after 3 year lay off

does the wink mean you think it is risky or not risky?

its an acceptable comeback fight for such a layoff I think

I do think it's risky, this guy is coming for the KO and can punch.
Its a long time out and we don't know if Hayes shoulder injury will allow him to have the same power as he once did.
His second biggest weapon was his athleticism and he was always fast but again can he still be after doing nothing for years?
There's a good chance this could end the same way as Hattons comeback.
Hope im wrong because Haye back in the deep end is brilliant for the division.
We will see in a few weeks.

The Guy is ranked with one of the governing bodies, so it's definitely an acceptable comeback fight after his lay off.
I think Sky and Box Nation are just not investing until they've seen if it all comes about. They're playing the "teach him a lesson " game and making out they're not interested.
Fair enough, but if he wins and wins well, they'll be falling over themselves to get him on their Channel.
Also , they know Haye is skint, so it's a bit of a poker match. Joshua v Whyte was PPV, nobody can tell me a Joshua v Haye fight wouldn't sell.

If Haye wins by a huge KO then a Joshua fight will be massive, not quite Wembley but maybe Watford FC which is AJs manor and he's already said it's him dream to fight there.
Could do 30,000 plus that one.

Hope ITV get it and he fights on there regularly but I can see him take on AJ next if he wins because the longer he waits the better AJ will get.

Which is why many of the channels do not want to touch this fight.

And what will happen? Haye will attempt to get some kind of deal done, it'll fuck with the fight date, it'll get postponed, Haye will do what he always does which is bark on the tv shows but nobody will be there to listen to him because Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have eclipsed him by doing their work in the ring.

David Haye will be LUCKY to get a fight vs Dillain Whyte after all this shit and when Haye's speed and timing go he'll be absolutely wrecked in the ring and he'll go on fighting a bunch of bums and gunning for the British title because he'll have blown all his money and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.....the fucking prick

I did not realise he lost all his money.

If he hasn't yet he will eventually....or at the very least he'll realize that he needs to make much more money in order to retire comfortably.


If Haye wasn't so full of shit and up his own ass he might make a good commentator

He nearly got thown in jail in Dubai for fraud as a cheque for £250,000 bounced for his property and a friend had to bail him out.

He also recently sold his training ring on ebay.

Now im presuming that someone who jas as much money as Haye has made would not feel the need to get the highest bidder on a poxy old training ring that would realisticly be worth probably around a grand. Some mug paid £70,000 for it!!

I actually find that hard to believe. No one was bidding on it to start with then bang! I reckon those bids were fake to save face that no one wanted to pay big money for tat.

They were even advertising it as the ring that Haye sparred with Justin Beiber in It has no historical value seeing as he never did anything great at heavy at became the but of lots of pulling out jokes in world boxing.

"This is THE ring that David Haye pulled out of many fights in and the same ring he pretended to retire rather than lose to Tyson Fury"

Assumed SKY would show it; using it for hype to build a Joshua fight later this year. A bit like when the Beeb stuck Hide on Audley bills early on.
