Haye is a bigger draw in HW div after 3 fights than Klitschkos' combined 96 fights

Vitali - Arreola was far bigger in the US than anything Haye has ever done.

Factless bull****. Besides, the US and the UK aren't the "World". They are two countries that sometimes join in dubious enterprises, like invading Iraq.

 

The number five actually referred to five people below complete sellout showing up, I got that mixed up. For those refunded ticket,s immediately people on a waiting list jumped in.

 

That sounds more likely. :good


It was indeed full stadium in fight night

 

What were the viewing figures like for Haye-Valuev in the states compared to Wlad-Chagaev?

It's unfair to compare the Vitali-Areola match up with any of Haye's fights because of the interest in Areola. . .

 

The guy can't sell out arenas in his own locale, the Klits sell out a soccer stadium in Germany and Haye's bigger?

If people in your own country don't care about you, you have issues. The Klitschkos have rabid fans in Germany, Russia and the Ukraine, not to mention whatever their fan base is in the USA and beyond.

Haye just beat an aging troll that was unwatchable and who lost to a 46-year-old former great who went by the name of "Evan Fields" so he could get supplements.

The truth is, this might be as good as it gets for HW Haye. And still, his own countrymen don't give a crap.

When Haye is getting a 50%+ market share for a televised fight in a foreign country, try making the post again and we'll try not to laugh. Thanks.

 

Either Klitschko would destroy Haye. That's why this might be as good as it gets for him.

He probably can go on a Ruiz-like run of facing joke opponents served up by Don King. Maybe he can wait until Vitali fossilizes and then face him. I'm not sure. But there are guys out there -- Peter and Tua come to mind -- who are capable of starching Haye if things play out right.

 

With WHOM does he have that deal ? And where is the information from ? Noone should be that damn stupid to "guarantee" him 8 millions personal cash per fight even if he loses. And I doubt anyone WAS that stupid. He is one lucky punch away from having to get back to the queue, and good luck at getting 8 millions from anyone for Haye taking on Brian Minto.

I'll bet this is just another bait with no substance at all.

 

This.

Anyone that thinks Haye has captured any imaginations in North America is kidding themselves. Lots of talk, no delivery and Ruiz next. Not a saviour's formula.

 

+1

There's probably someone who would do this kind of deal, but they better be lining him up with the Bum Of The Month Club if they hope to try to recoup their investment.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl @ that avi

 

LOL he just fought Valuev in an 8,000 seat arena. The Klitschko's fight in arenas over twice that size. Haye is no draw even at home his fight against Barrett was a financial disaster.

 

He sold 800,000+ PPvs on Sky box office @ £14.63 = £11.7m+ in the UK for the Valuev fight so I think its fair to say he is a draw in the UK:deal

 

Being on a free to air tv network in a primetime Saturday night slot is not comparible to ppv sales. The viewing figures mean nothing

 

Good interview with Don King about Haye

Haye had 8 million Germans watching his fight with Valuev.
