what happens if david haye is knocked out

[joekirkbycobra]

what do you think will happen to hayemaker promotions if hes knocked out
i think it will go on as usual but some are saying they think it'll cave in
what do you think?

[brown bomber]

The outfit is fairly infantile but i doubt it would falter solely because of a Haye loss.

[Paddy]

i think it will continue to grow. however this year will be the acid test Im hoping to get up to the belfast show

[Ed.]

Outside of the Klitschko's there's plenty of opportunity to win a world title. Vitali won't fight forever, Vlad is KO'able. If or when he loses to Vitali he'll be back in 6 months to take on Sam Peter or someone of similar standing.

Hayemaker promotions is Haye's pension. Not a chance it will fold for any reason other than it being unsuccesful (rather than Haye being unsuccessful). And I think Haye is going the right way by signing up exciting boxers and putting on competitive cards.

I'm sure that I read they had a 10 fight deal with Setanta, 4 to include Haye. They also appear to be willing to do some small non tv shows to keep their stable active, something that Dave Coldwell has been doing successfully with Koncrete for some time.

Their first two Setanta shows were excellent compared with ITV4 and Sky. I like the early start and live build up to the main event, something Sky doesn't do and ITV4 haven't got right yet with their Alan Partridge style backstage interviewer!! Their only glitch IMO was Mark Peters as MC for the Haye fight instead of Craig Stephen, the MC on their first show.

With the stable of boxers that they are building up, Rhodes, Lindsay, Barnes, Watson, Woodhouse et al, and the fact that Adam Booth seems genuinely interested in putting on competitive fights, I can see this outfit going from strength to strength.

I suppose that it all hinges on them being able to extend the Setanta deal and I expect they will need to have at least one title fight on each TV bill to do that. David Haye is obviously the big selling point, but as the outfit gets established, it should matter less. Good luck to them, I say.

at the moment Hayemaker is on equal terms with Hennesey, ****** is clearly the number 1 promoter.

the good think about haye is he is actually putting something into his promotional company which is more than you can say about hatton, calzaghe and all the others.

****** has 4 stars

khan, macceranelli, cook, de gale

Did you seriously just call those guys 'stars'?

[LiamE]

Did you seriously just call those guys 'stars'?

Do you know, I think he did. :rofl

[Ed.]

Did you seriously just call those guys 'stars'?
When you're pumping millions into promoting them, yes, they're f**king superstars and will entertain you for years with death and destruction of all in front of them. Get ya wallets out now boys, it's PPV time.

[Infern0]

Well Haye will need to rebuild, but he will still be good to watch

[ShadowWorks]

Haye is banking on a win, he will chop the Ukrainian Oak down.

[newbridgeboxing]

If Haye gets knocked out it aint the end of the world for Haye he just made the step up to early he is young enough to get himself back on track, whilst Vitali is getting
on abit and won't be boxing forever!
