    Ah didn't know that. Still, that is 11,000 short of what this fight has sold already! I wouldn't be suprised to see this either fill or nearly fill the stadium, what size is it? 50-60k?

    Veltins-Arena is ca. 60 k for football matches, 78 k for concerts.

    Which would be the limit for boxing? I suppose it could reach 78k if it could manage 30k already...:yikes

    The Klitschkos sell very well where ever they fight.

    Haye has trouble selling tickets period. His only fans are the barmy lot on here.

    pacquiao vs hatton is in a 16,000 capacity casino tent and they'll be making much more money
    its not the capacity but the prices of the tickets
    will be great to see a fight with that sought of attendence though

    Great news. Haye really knows how to market a fight.

    Shame he struggles to sell tickets in England.

    I'm not that surprised. The Klitschkos are huge celebrities here so a live audience of about 50,000 had to be expected either way given that Haye seems a credible opponent.

    Haye's recent behavior will probably add the rest to sell out the Arena which is great of course.

    30,000 in the first day???

    I quess somebody forgot to tell all those people boxing was a dead sport!

    But that's the way Yanks think... If it ain't happening in the US, it ain't happening at all.

    really, i always thought that guy was a sell. didnt his fight with enzo mac and barret sell out though? i figured with his style and loud mouth he would have some drawing power.

    How big a celebrity is Abraham in comparison to the Klits in Germany?
