      Looks like the Haye fans have been proven wrong again.
      Relax dude, you're hatred for David Haye is reaching the Tunney level.

      Sky Sports are a business and want to make as much money as possible at £14.95 (roughly $30), they are being smart by trying to put Khan and Haye on the same night.. it makes great business sense.

      Haye does solid PPV numbers in the UK, hes no Ricky Hatton in terms of sales but Sky are happy with what fans he brings to the table.

          Haye didn't even want to share it with Klitschko and fools like you supported it.

          Now we are finding out that Haye may end up sharing his precious PPV revenue with Khan because he can't sell his own PPV for a price of 15-20 bucks.

          Mayweather and Pac can sell a million of them at $65 in mismatched fights, whereas the Sky team has finally had to face the fact that Haye cannot generate that many buys even at 25% of the price of a HBO PPV.

          What a joke Haye and his fans are.

            More like roughly $23 at the most. It's a simple conversion. The exchange rate is nowhere close to 2-1. Not sure where you're getting your info.

                damn calm down,

                1st its not 15 bucks as you say it will be more like £20 (around $33). Here in Britain most casual leaning to dedicated fans don't want to pay £50 for something they watch on TV.

                2nd Haye isn't Pac/May. Hatton did around 1.2m for the exact same price tag i believe and i don't need to tell you how big his fanbase is so its not the fans but the culture of not paying over the odds for PPV on TV unlike the US.

                3rd The only reason Sky wants to stack it is to not have both PPV fights so close to each other. Do you think HBO will put up a Pacquaio PPV one week and a Mayweather PPV next week??? No because that makes no financial sense.

                I am British, I like Haye as a fighter but not his ducking ways, it seems like finally the fight is going to happen and i think we should look forward to the fight instead of blindly bashing Haye fans as a joke!

                      @ Lightning Zsolt.

                      You're a turd.

                      May-Pac could sell well over a million at $60 because;
                      - the American's are used to paying such large amounts for PPV fights
                      - because May and Pac are both ATGs and world-wide celebrities with appeal to large ethnic communities in the USA, hence more PPV numbers
                      - the American public follow boxing more than the British public, the British are mainly casual fans and only watch/get excited about the BIG fights
                      - simply put, there are 5-times more people in the USA than in the UK.

                      Haye-Klitschko would do good numbers in the UK without Khan. But by adding Khan to the bill it would ensure that Khan's massive fanbase would also buy the PPV event (his fanbase includes the Pakistani, ******, Indian communities, and many Northeners).

                      Khan is a big celebrity in the UK and many people, even non-boxing fans, have known about him for years since he won Olympic Silver. He has widespread appeal and has helped British Boxing's popularity. Adding Khan to the bill makes perfect sense.
