    the thing is sauerland know there market quite well;there experienced propmoters and if they thought that if haye could sell more they would have picked a bigger venue ...and they have gone for a modest 10 thousand seater venue

    LOL. 10,000 is now considered minor. In America, you sell out 10 to 15 thousand and you are quite big business.

    Metallica and Iron Maiden can sell 100,000 plus:deal:good. That's neither here or there on a boxing forum, though:lol:. This is a dissapointment, IMO. I'd much rather they went back to Finland and gave the fans what they missed out on before or set up the fight somewhere else in Europe. Now, if it goes to points (which I expect), Haye might be ****ed:?.

    Formula1 races took or take place at the Nürburgring which doesn't have anything to do with Nürnberg.

    The fight won't be sold out unless 3,000 or 4,000 Brits will fly to Germany.

    10 000 is a decent size in these economically hard times

    I still can't picture these two in the ring together though; the odd couple.

    well when you consider his last fight,sold over sixty thousand and people were saying that it was due to haye,not to the fact that the klit's are quite popular in Germany ,its quite a comedown a wee bit imho.

    but good luck to haye ...

    only a fool would think that either klit single handily did that. they are popular but they were fighting people that didn't interest the public. when haye whipped up a storm they started lining the streets to see the big mouth get shut up. haye was appearing on german tv saying he is gonna whoop them, he got in wlads face, he wore the t-shirt with the ripped head. if none of that made an effect then why the klits waste their time facing someone who isn't as heavyweight proven as alot of boxers. haye made business sense for them and that is the whole reason they BOTH wanted a piece of him.
