itv pbc report planted by haymon?

[Randall Cunning]

But isn't itv a bigger network than sky is? Why stay with a network where fans have to pay to see you when you could go to itv and get millions more watching you

It is a big network, one of the top 3 channels in the UK. But its based on advertisement. Boxing isn't this huge sport in the UK that Americans think it is. They couldn't go in a prime time spot and maximise revenue.

Not true if itv is a bigger platform than sky and it's free joshua wouldnt be necessary to build new up and coming stars. It's like building crawford on HBO but spence on espn.

Also haymon has david haye and schaefer getting uk fighters

ITV being bigger means exactly what? Is ITV going to invest in boxing how FOX or ESPN are investing in boxing? No, that is the point. Sky and BT Sports are the ones that invest in boxing the most, and even still, not nearly enough to put on decent fights on Non-PPVs.

WBN understands Haye has had communications with Channel 5, which could see the likes of Joe Joyce and Willy Hutchison eventually featuring on the station in the future.

As WBN exclusively revealed last week, Haye outbid Frank Warren massively to land the mandatory British cruiserweight title clash between Matty Askin and Stephen Simmons on March 17.

So far, Haye’s stable – which includes Joyce, Hutchison and former MMA star Michael Page – has been showcased on freeview and satellite’s Dave Channel, with another fight night scheduled to air on UK TV next month.

Having signed a three-year deal with UK TV in the summer of 2017, it’s not yet clear how the deal will work or whether it would be similar to that of Spike and Channel 5 who have shared coverage in the past.

The deal will be a huge one for Haye in order to give his fighters exposure on one of only five terrestrial channels, with Heavyweight hope Joyce leading the charge to title fights in 2018.

Joyce is due to feature on the February 16 card before then moving on to the Tony Bellew v Haye rematch undercard on Sky Box Office – with Channel 5 having the potential to screen a British championship attempt for the ‘Juggernaut’ later in the year should the deal get across the line.

Whilst British boxing has struggled to secure big dates on the likes of the BBC, ITV (ITV 4 / Box Office) and Channel 5 have always been open to broadcasting with some promoters and Haye s could soon*become the latest to be given a platform to display the obvious talent in his stable.

Itv and haymon have been in talks for at least 3 years now. Do you think haymon will settle for a small tv rights fee. If so he probably could have gotten it years ago!!!!

He was in talks three years ago? Great, I'm sure he was in talks with a lot of different networks for the past three years.

How much do you expect ITV to invest in boxing when they don't have any of the big names in the UK? This isn't FOX and PBC where PBC has the deepest stable in the game and FOX needed to replace the UFC content.

UK boxing market once again isn't that great.

I can speak about whatever I choose to speak about! Secondly the reason I make forums is to inquire about things that go on in the sport of boxing.

Michael page and joe joyce still work with ringstar. I'm not aware of they're full roster but I appreciate u informing me on who left
