    Fear of people not showing up. Klitschkos sell out football stadiums, and this deserves a sellout. Biggest fear Klitschkos have however is Haye not showing up. Again.

    They don't want it to be fortress Haye on fight night. But what they fail to realise is there could be 50,000 German boxing fans and only 500 Brits and the sausage smokers would still get outsung.

    If a sold out UK area brings more money, why hasn't Booth pointed this out? Now Bönte is saying they're exploring stadiums outside of Germany "in Europe" but "not in England". I am a bit confused by that strategy.

    Bönte said this is not about home advantages, this is about "maximizing the reveneus". Bönte said how Booth was allegedly on the same page with him on this topic. Has Booth been unable to secure an arena in the UK, or maybe are they afraid they won't be able to sell it out?

    This doesn't make any sense. Would like to hear from Booth why they're not exploring a UK arena?!

    In Germany its more money and more secured that the stadium will be full. As simple as that. Haye was never forced to go to Germany. Klitschko needs no german crowd or home ref to KO Haye. Get over it. Dont look already for excuses (national sport?)

    Haye-Klitschko could sell out 2 Wembley's in the UK. This isn't about ticket sales.

    Then what is this about? And what did Booth do make this happen in the UK? We haven't heard a beep from him.

    Wlad has gone to the US a number of times fighting US based fighters in their back yard. The "Wlad is scared to fight away from home" theory doesn't hold unfortunately.

    Haye couldnt even sell 2/3 of the Barret fight tickets in a 10.000 indoor hall. Get real. Booth and Haye cannot secure a stadium and they are afraid they might not sell all tickets. The Klitschkos in Germany are a completely other main event then Haye is in England. If the fight is in Dortmund the 85.000 tickets will be sold within a few days for 100%.

    To insinuate that Klitschko might be afraid of fighting Haye in England is completely silly from a boxing viewpoint. He might be afraid from an economic viewpoint.

    You are aware that a Heavyweight unification fight would sell considerably more tickets than a non-title fight against a gatekeeper?

    Haye didn't get anything like the notoriety he has now until after the Valuev fight. Haye sold out the MEN that can hold 23000 against A-Farce. There's a massive buzz about Haye-Klitschko

    If you don't think they could sell out Wembley you're on something.
