Do the Klitschko's still have the urge to crack America?

    I know they don't need to crack America financially because of the amount of people who go to watch them and the interest they create in Germany. But do you think part of them still wants to crack America and maybe top the bill in las Vegas? One of the brothers against Seth Mitchell or even David Haye with a solid undercard could sell out in Vegas.

    Seth Mitchell? **** me. I take it all back. David Haye is a fantastic option as challenger if Seth f'ng Mitchell is considered a contender...

    They are way too protected in Germany to even want and/or need to go to America.

    Plus, I dont think Waldo would get away with a lot of his fouling in America, which he didn't against Brewster.

    Did you really just allude to an opinion that the only reason they have the titles between them is because they are protected in Germany?

    Similar to Sven Ottke?

    :lol:Crack America do me a favour. They are making millions fighting in Germany. America only cares about American HW champions, and does not take kindly to Eastern Europeans ruling the roost.

    The Klitschkos have Cracked all the Americans out there i'm afraid

    Theres no way the US Market will care about the division without anyone to get behind, and don't talk to me about Mitchell and Wilder, all they do is fight tin cans, as does Arreola

    They've both wanted to fight in America at every chance, so the obvious answer would be 'yes'. It'll never happen because they don't provide entertainment but if they could be big in America, I'm sure they'd love that.

    No. They sell out 50k stadiums. Their yank challengers are **** enough to go over and their real challenges seem to be in Europe - Haye, Povetkin, Chagaev etc

    They're kings in Germany. There's no need for them to come to America.
