how big is the wlad vs haye fight?

This is spot on for me :good

 

Calzaghe / Kessler?

 

It is a huge fight. For one it's a unification, for two it's for the Ring belt. It's the top division fighter against a top five fighter. Both have impressive power, both vulnerable. Haye is talking it up. If Haye wins I will be really impressed, not because of his power to KO Wlad K but the ability to absorb the punishment that Wlad's going to be dishing up.
Wlad by beating.

 

Hmmmm..
For the masses im not too sure. hope im wrong. Haye isn't big in the US as he should have been..
This will be huge in the UK and Germany and probably other euro nations.
For boxing heads, yeah..it certainly brings some spark to the HW division, finally!

 

Please say you're joking.

 

Mayweather is not a big name fighter.

 

That is rubbish, he was p4p number 1 in the world, his previous fight was the biggest grossing ppv ever!! of course he was known outside of the US.

 

learn to spell annihilate first.

 

cosign!

 

What are the biggest fights involving British fighter in the last 20 years say since 90?

Ill try a list

Hatton v Mayweather
Lewis v Tyson
Haye v Wlad?
Lewis v Holyfield 1
Lewis v Holyfield 2
Clazaghe v BHop?
Naz v Barrera

There must be more :think

 

Bruno vs Tyson 2 wasn't big??

 

Good shout

 

yeah i remember that, i remember my house was packed out that night, i stayed up with everyone to watch it, it was one of the best boxing nights of my life!

i was going for tyson while everyone else in the house was cheering for bruno.

 

Hatton had a massive vocal fanbase, but honestly I think this fight is bigger or at least close. It's hard to distance yourself as a boxing fan, but I don't think Mayweather was that well known outside boxing. I think a Heavyweight fight might connect with more people, and when you consider how many countries the Klitchskos broadcast to already it could well be bigger internationally. Wouldn't argue too hard either way though. To an extent it depends on how you define bigger - money, total viewers, press, reach in terms of number of countries broadcast to etc. I guess I wouldn't see the Ibragimov unification as a massive fight, and this isn't so much different, so maybe I do think the Mayweather-Hatton fight was bigger.

 

this fight was playing every where..bars and even in some cinemas..
this was huge, ppv ****!
I remember me another 10 x mates all in staying up in one house for this..
we had the british card where naz finnished lawal in one round..that fight got us goin ape ****..that swagger stroll and upper cut (i think) was enough!!
Then the hours in between the vegas card was slow and cool..it was around my birthday, we played 2pac's all eyes on me all the way through..everyone lightin up spliffs and dudes fallin alseep..
****!!! Bringin me back now!
THe sunday was a bright day in march..
