Request HBO 24/7 Klitschko Vs. Haye Fight

[MissDeeCole]

It doesn't matter if the hardcore boxing fans want to see a 24/7. They're has to be a name already set for the mainstream audience to take notice. DLH brought Mayweather and Pac into the mainstream. Mayweather then in turn did the same with Hatton so we now have Pac-Hatton who people are already familiar with.

If Jones-Calzaghe didn't do **** they sure as hell aren't going to take an even bigger risk with this fight.

how is it a risk? they are promoting a fight on their own network. its guarenteed to make more viewers watch a fight, regardless of how many.

This was a good idea, I sent them a message because, hey it couldn't hurt.

Well, it does cost a lot of money to produce the 24/7 series. they anticipated 500K buys with Calzaghe-Jones but I believe it only ended up doing between 200-250K. Hopkins-Pavlik didn't exactly rake in the numbers either. For whatever reason whether it be the economy or something else, they've learned they can't just put out anything on PPV and have people eat it up.

As it stands Wlad isn't a big name in the US and Haye is completely unknown so I just have a hard seeing this gaining the attention of the mainstream US audience which is who really brings in the money.

You'll are welcome to try, it can't hurt, but I'm not optimistic about it happening.

did my part, doubt theyll listen tho

Personally a Countdown to the fight would make more sense. HBO maybe reserving 24/7 coverage for much bigger fights especially after the Pacquiao-Hatton fight.

[FLYBOY]

24/7 would be great. HAYE-KLITSCHKO.

C'mon Ladies and gents, send those requests out to HBO.
