    Why is HBO hiding Haye from us?

    They've never had any of his fights (even though he's only been in one important fight), so that's not a big deal. But they didn't even MENTION him during the Wlad-Thompson fight as far as I can remember. They even listed possible opponents for Wladimir and named as many as 4 fighters without his name coming up. I don't know jack **** about Haye, and HBO is partially responsible for that. I do agree that he needs to fight a decent heavyweight really soon though. Maybe they'll pick that fight up.

      He's been in two improtant fights but yea he never gets mentioned and his exciting style would definatly be good for boxing and HBO.

          Setanta only broadcast in the UK, he can sign with an American broadcaster as well.

              It's because his last fight on HBO. There has been talk of Golden Boy getting his first heavyweight fight onto HBO B.A.D.

                He will get mentioned by HBO soon because he is going to be promoted by Golden Boy when his heavyweight campaign starts. He is most likely going to face Rahman or Toney in November and i think HBO will start to take notice then.
