Haye Vs Vitali - No Primetime US Slot

[rizel23]

Just heard from Adam Booth (Haye's Promoter\Trainer) that the fight in June in London will be at our time 10-11pm (whats that, like 4-5pm in the US?) and will not be made later (usually 2-3am UK time) to suit US audience, thats gonna p*ss HBO\Showtime off a little if they want to sell the fight

Good, we have to stay up until 4 & 5 in the morning to watch US fights.

It's not going to piss them off, they're just not going to pay for the fight.

Great news......... I hate having to wait up for the U.S. fights!

How is it not going to p*ss off US Networks? Its the biggest fight of the year without doubt, Vitali has a huge following in the US and they could have sold the PPV easily, now seems it will be a freebie, what network did you get Haye vs Monte on over there? Haye works with Goldenboy Productions who oversee Hayemaker Productions, and Setanta (who works with Hayemaker as co British Promotor Network wise) have a strong link with Top Rank

Great news. We Brits have to put with 4-5 am fights. Tough **** for the Yanks.

Amen to that. Folks keep telling us all the real interest in this fight is in the UK and Germany; fair enough, lets have the fight at a sensible hour for UK and German fans for a change rather than the middle of the bloody night. The Ukrainians will still be up late. Late afternoon for US fans on a Saturday surely isn't that bad?
