    Haye has clearly usurped those oh-so dreary robots as the main man at Heavyweight after just three fights

    Really? Don't the Klit's draw in excess of 20m when their fights are televised live on tv in Germany? And haven't both brothers sold out big stadiums in their adopted nation on multiple occasions? And didn't Haye fail to deliver a similair venue when he was looking to fight Wlad in the UK?

    When he sells out Staford Bridge and gets 15m watching him on the BBC, then he'll be bigger.

    Utter bull**** devoid of any facts.

    The Klitschkos have been selling out arenas for years. They made HW boxing big in continental Europe. Wlad sold out Schalke, when Haye cancelled five (!) people wangted a refund for their ticket. Haye is an attraction in the UK so far, not much more. Vitali - Arreola was a huge HBO success.

    David Haye had trouble selling tickets in London O2 Arena, which is literally three London underground stops away from Bermondsey, where he grew up and is based.

    Yeah, he's beaten Valuev since then - a fight which made the news here in the UK, mostly on account of Valuev's big frame and partly Haye's big mouth. He has the WBA title which will help. I dont know if he's a proven draw yet though.

    I've heard Klitschkos are very big in Germany.

    60'000 persons went to see Klitschko school Chagaev.

    Haye wouldn't do much better. Also remember he has fought at heavyweight three times, but had already fame before that.

    No way does Haye outsell the klits. He is more popular now than he was a cruiser, but still hasnt captured the UK public like bruno etc did.

    The only draw Harrison would get is if he fought a dead cow and it went to the scorecards.

    Can we get over this rumour that not many people cancelled their tickets after Haye - Wlad was cancelled - I had SEVEN refunded myself, let alone all the other Brits that didn't go over.

    Chef claimed it was total of 11 returned tickets.

    Me and my British friend refunded two tickets, you and your friends seven so rest of the audience returned combined two tickets.

    Oh yeah, no doubt...

    because Haye proved in his last fight that he's the all-action, no holds barred, take no prisoners, Tysonesque saviour of the HW division we've all been waiting for. haha!
