I think had it been Wladimir vs Valuev they would have been 100% on board with showing it.

It's not all about Haye, it's Haye talks big, he walks small, and he'd be fun to watch get KO'd...remember how many people enjoyed watching MAB slam Naseem Hamed's head into the turnbuckle Well that my friends is what David Haye brings to the division.
Do you think they would prefer Haye to KO Wlad? I think they would find that more fun plus would be guaranteed no more boring fights.

I think that is right. Fact.
