HBO to air triple header on Sep 28, including Fury-Haye.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Chavez Jr vs Vera

Can't wait for that! HBO is desperate otherwise there's little chance they'd have Haye back on.

Think it's a decent fight.

Well Fury obviously made a show of it against Cunningham and was on terrestrial tv over there. Apparently he's got a decent following in the US.

Haye is known there having fought on HBO/Showtime plenty of times in his career as well as on Epix and these other small channels.

Makes sense to put a big heavyweight fight on.

If HBO hadn't frozen out GBP and weren't desperate for new stars, there's no way they'd be showing Haye again.

I mean, Darren Barker and Geale was their last main event

Who is Chavez Jr even fighting?

They've been showing his fights for years now though, so it's not necessarily a sign of desperation.

Buzzing for haye fury.

Big event. America wants to see fury ko'd

Me too. But it will definitely be tricky to air three different fights from 3 different parts of the world. the Haye-Fury fight might be delayed for a couple of hours to fit in with the schedule, which makes it a little intricate.

But it's being discussed whether or not they will air it live in the afternoon too.

Hey man, that's why they get paid the big bucks. They'll figure it out lol.

Yeah! And it beats Mares-Gonzales by more than double in viewing audiences! Floyd-Ghost was a Failure! Floyd All Access was Failing too! I'm expecting a Lower than usual buy for this fight!

It's a great card and night of boxing.

Chavez Jr needs tune-up fight against tough veteran.

I was hoping that Haye vs Fury would be on US tv too.HBO and SHO are getting back into the HW division big time.


Mago vs Perez will be on HBO.

Wilder vs Arreola/Mitchell winner will be on SHO.

Can't wait for Jennings vs Adamek on HBO as well.

Possibly true with the GPB thing, which was ridiculous either way you look at it. Bit like Hearn and Sky in britain, though in America GBP has the far more attractive names, whereas Hearn has the best names in Britain.

I don't know. American TV has been interested in Haye's fights ever since Mormeck, so it doesn't come as a major surprise to me.

More that they invest in the HW division as a whole, since it's ****.

HBO is picking up fights they would have never bothered picking up had they still had GB fighters to put on instead. Now they are just throwing on whoever. It's working out for the network n the fighters.
