            That's what happens when you put Brit fighters on TV.

            Sky acts like they were doing a good job and were let down by the fighters. In reality they ignored Carl Froch whose fights against Pascal, Taylor, Abraham and Kessler were better than every Haye, Cleverly and Khan fight. Well Khan-Maidana was pretty good but not as good as Froch against Pascal or Kessler.

                Haye definitively plays a big part in this whole debacle. The dude talks the talk which is all good in creating hype for the fight but he fails in walking the walk. But Sky screwed themselves by putting on the Haye-Harrison fight. That fight will go down as the straw that broke the camels back.

                  Makes some sense actually. Not everyone subscribes to premium channels, but everyone has access to PPV and wouldn't mind dropping some money on a really great fight once in a while. But then again just subscribing to HBO or Showtime straight is still cheaper than paying for a single PPV, though I'm not sure if they have any minimum subscription periods.
