Like a few have said already October will be too soon for Haye's cut to have fully healed, November has Sky Box Office PPV with Froch vs Groves and Sky have made it clear in the past that they won't do 2 boxing PPVs in the same month. December and January is usually a bad time to ask people to buy a PPV because of Christmas and New Year. So February is the next best time for it. It's sh*t that it's so far away but I'm glad it's been rescheduled.
Also I know Haye has had previous in pulling out of fights but I'm not sure how people can blame Haye here as he's shown the cut and it was an accident. If he hadn't shown evidence of a cut then I would be calling bullsh*t like everyone else but he has.
WOW, I was looking forward to this too. There's more to the story I'm sure. 4 months is too far away. They're gonna both have to stop their camps immediately and begin them within a month again.
why such a long wait. did haye have to get something amputated where he got cut? Fvcking embarassment.
The only reason i can think is Sky have got froch & Groves on ppv in november and don't do more then 1 ppv a month and december & January being not good months financially for a ppv.
