if haye beats wlad, will he be bigger than hatton in the UK?

no he wont be because the wlad fight wont have got that much TV coverage compared to hattons last five years

also wlad isnt that well known so all of that into the mix with haye not being overly famous yet doenst bode for instant superstardom

 

Agreed. No one cares as the media seem to have forgotten about heavyweights here in the U.K. Maybe Fraudley was just too much for people!

 

No, Haye won't even be as popular as Frank Bruno.

Which is a shame, as Haye has the same vulnerabilities.....but British fans like humble fighters, guys that are really slick and cool don't appeal to us as much.

If Haye was really funny rather than cocky he'd be huge. But he's too good-looking (and I don't mean that in a gay way)

Shame, coz Haye is awesome. Hope he smashes Wlad inside a round, but very doubtful.

 

tee hee

 

Co-sign. Only if Hatton loses though.

 

hell no!, most popular british fighters of all time lists as bruno,naz,cooper,hatton,khan and then lewis. haye is not mainstream in uk, only hatton khan and calzaghe are

 

i dont think so.
it is about personality and people dont like haye as much as hatton,it is not always how good a boxer you are.
​

 

Eubank and Benn are also amongst the most popular aswell.

Hatton is in a league of his own.

 

nope..theres only 1 ricky hatton..but haye would be huge

 

oh yeh i forgot about them 2

 

Nope, he won't be bigger than Hatton. However, a win would give him the potential to gain massive, massive popularity in the UK. (a couple of local HW Title defenses against colourful opponents)

 

nah Hattons huge and has a unique persona people from all walks of life can relate to. Haye got no personality compared to Hatton, he's just another boxer

 

Probably not but he'll be the ****.
