    not that they do not want to buy ppv but dont have to buy ppv.

    Germany does not have a history of PPV and does not have a provider like Sky that is in most of the homes in the country.

    Vitaly fights on our equivilant of ITV it is free.

    While I am looking forward to both fights, I consider Haye-Harrison a much more exciting fight than Klitschko-Peter

    Wladimir is going to flatten Peter out. Whether he does it in 3 rounds or 9 rounds or 1 round, it is inevitable.


    Haye-Harrison on the other hand is a genuine grudge match and makes for a great story. Haye is the heavy favorite, but I believe Harrison might truly fulfill all the potential and win the fight. It would be a wild victory

    big deal mate, most americans couldn't identify britian on a map of the world let alone a british boxer.

    but boxing fans know who haye is. he is the only crediable challanger to the klits and i think the fight will happen one day.

    haye is just cashing in, which is his right.

    Are you kidding me?!?!? Haye sold 700K for the Valuev fight at 15 pounds each. Do the math?! And if he sold 500k in his last fight thats 7.5 million revenue. Not saying his excuse for backing out of the klit fight is valid. its not. but the FACT is Haye makes more money without klits than klits do without Haye. Doesnt mean he deserves more than 50/50 or that hes a better fighter than klit.

    David haye could EASILY sell out a football stadium here. no problem. Not coz hes so popular but because british sports fans are MAD. Over here, selling out 40/50k is no problem.

    They support the Klitschkos and Arthur Abraham, who are the biggest boxing attractions in Germany. You have some kind of hang-up about Germans, obviously.

    No, it's a tribute to Uncle Chop Chop.

    Did you see the movie with Eric Bana?

    Im not. Im simply stating that The Klits cant get on hbo without haye. and vice versa. It shows that despite Haye not being huge in america, neither are the klits! HBO wants to make money and they know having the klits or haye on WONT do that. That tells you that neither are very popular over there. Thats my point. Because Haters are basically saying Haye is nothing over in America. So what? Thats not a barometer on how good a fighter is

    :lol:You don't really believe it's a "genuine grudge match," I hope? Adam Booth told them to start that phoney "Twitter war" in advance of the fight announcement, to provide some rationale for why they are fighting. That was so staged, it's pitiful. They are in WWE territory.

    Of course it's got more UK coverage, they're both UK fighters and Sky are beefing it up to be a British Superfight. Worldwide it doesn't mean ****.

    Then why was Vitali-Arreola the highest rated fight on HBO in 2009?

    Not because Arreola is a household name, that's for sure.

    Ross Greenberg doesn't like the idea of them fighting in Germany, and Greenberg is a tool anyway. He's ruining HBO's boxing programming in general: they are having a shitty year.
