    Its the best money fight for Bellew, think the first one done 900k, expect itll go over a million, nowhere near Joshua/Klitschko though. Glad Bellews going for this, needs to erase doubts before he continues in the division. Haye wins hes back in Joshua discussions.

    So it looks like were getting PPV wise for the rest of the year

    Sep/Oct - Degale/Groves
    Nov - Joshua/Klitschko 2
    Dec - Bellew/Haye 2

      What happened to Bellew taking another heavyweight fight in between? Could it be that they know Bellew would get smashed by any other fully fit heavyweight so they've chosen not to take another fight?

        Haye ruptured his Achilles tendon, how in the WORLD will he be fully fit to fight given that he'd also need an 8-12 week training camp?

        No way in the world will Haye be fully fit, but I guess this time his back is against the wall when it comes to negotiations.

          But I bet Hearn and Bellew are hoping that it won't be...

            Joshua/Klitschko was on another level though. All Hearn has said about the numbers was that it would probably do double the numbers Canelo/Chavez Jr would do. Think the number is closer to 2 mil than the 1.5 thrown around the forum. Even Glaser said he believed it went over 1.5mil, lol

                Haye 2 is still probably the best option for Bellew. They may of been looking at Parker, but the Fury fight is back on for him now.

                I'd always pick a fit Haye to beat Bellew, but will Haye ever be fit again? Injury after injury. I doubt he even comes back from this one in any kind of fighting shape.

                I get Bellew might want to put all of his eggs in one basket and cash out. But he might come unstuck if the Haye fight doesn't come about, and his HW wave dies down over time.

                  No I want Bellew to have this win forever

                  I didn't see the fight live but I saw that he won on social media and started laughing

                      A Floyd vs Conor fight makes $600 million or more. A Bellew vs haye fight makes nothing. Now Joshua draws 80,000 for Wlad which shows the Brits love boxing. But England with no real professional sports has few heroes to admire so Joshua is a real Brit hero. But Bellew and Haye is something left in the bowl before flushing.
