This is not good. How can main event pass this up? Even new Zealands sky sports is showing it

Gota save space for mundines next big main event vs Robbie Peden at a catchweight. Hang on, robbie is small but he can still hit so that will probably be a bit tough for choc.

You telling me you can't generate the PPV on the offchance that a pom might get beaten up?

I think its more to do with Valeuv being useless, I will be suprised if Haye dosn't KO him within 5 rounds. Valuev is wide open,Has no speed and if Haye uses his speed and aggression he should KO him.

No OZ content & way too early in the day for pubs & clubs, which Main Event needs to make it viable.
NZ is 2 hours ahead of OZ East Summer time.

2 hours ahead? i thought it was more like 20 years behind.......

No need to be nasty, just 'cos they score incomplete rounds

doesnt matter what time of day...a heavyweight title fight is a heavyweight title fight. any stateside fights r shown at 4am in england but that doesnt stop british fans demanding it.

australian televsion not televising the world heavyweight championship is a disgrace and it shows how unimportant boxing is down here

Foxtel, Austar & Optus are struggling for subscribers... too expensive for average income earner.
Not a great deal of fight fans have it. Cheaper to rock to the nearest pub/club & blow a few bucks on the bar.

I ain't stuck for a buck, but ain't prepared to blow 100 bucks per month to watch a few local Fox shows (some not worth watching) & then blow another 50 to get Main Event shows.

Yep you go to the Setanta website and see pictures of the HAYEMAKER everywhere and yet no broadcast of the fight....Unbeeleevable!!!

I know DAWSON V JOHNSON is a good fight .... but this is a HW title fight!! and the start of the HAYEMAKERS run at greatness!!

I cant believe we cant see this!!

For all we know, main broadcaster (Germany ARD) & promoter might be asking too much to make it viable for Main Event's home viewers

Bloody oath mate. Under 30% of households have pay tv, and that is in a relatively small market to start with, and out of them I guarantee only a very small percentage would be willing to pay from a fight like this, especially at the time. No way it is a viable option for Main Event.

well channel 10 should show it then, or tens dedicated sports channel ONE HD.

agree. they showed the Klit fight early morning. Love to know how much it would cost them.

Licensing fee probably wouldn't go for under 10K

I agree mate, It should be shown somewhere.

based on that i would have thought that they would be able to sell enough advertising to recoup overheads. It would be something different for them as well.

Main Event have the Dawson/Johnson card on.

Merely being a pkm fighting you would think it would generate enough interest to have it on "somehwere" in Australia.
Although that pom may get knocked out in 5 or 6 rounds......thats even more reason to have it on !!
I wouldnt replace the Dawson v Johnson fight with this though. Setanta have gone off the boil since there opening Kessler v Calzaghe fight and I would be surprised if 10 HD get any more major world title fights due to the cost...they need to be able recoup their money somehow.

$120 in 8 days if you get the DAWSON/JOHNSON, NDOU/HATTON & COTTO/PAC fights on. Unfortunately I live where there is no pub for 300k's that is likely to have the fights so will get it. You would think they could give a 3 for the price of 2 special or something !!!

excuse me?

This could be interesting if valuev fights like he did againts barret. people say valuev is boring, he wasn't in that fight.

MD Haye.
