Comments Thread For: Klitschko vs Haye: Both Sides Schedule Meeting With HBO

Might be good for boxing as long as it is not ppv.

The only way this is on PPV in the US is if HBO or Showtime don't want it (which I doubt) and if it is a PPV it will be an independent one.

Not a PPV, its gonna be tape delayed - so no chance.

That's why it may end up a PPV honestly. HBO and Showtime aren't gonna pay hardly anything for a tape-delayed fight, and the Haye and Klit camps may think they could get more money as an independent PPV.

Wonder if it's a HBO PPV?

Not a chance. Last year when the fight was nearly signed HBO started advertising it for WCB. Not enough interest here for any kind of heavyweight fight.

Unless Haye presses for a PPV in US, I dont see it being one. Klitschkos are against PPVs, they would rather sell wholesale to channels or have it as a stream PPV at most.

Agreed, neither have enough fan base/recognition in US to make any sort of mark.
