How much real interest would a Klitschko unification match bring?

    Should they fight each other, I personally would be distracted by them being brothers and the drama would be to see if one of them gets upset by a punch and starts to really fight.

    I don't think it would be as big as the Wlad vs Hayes match.

    It would be absolutely be great if they fought. It's absurd to be against it. After all, it will teach all of us that Humans are nothing more than scumbag prostitutes who will listen, cater, and lay down for other people's demands (and not the advice of their Mother) for the good old "dollar" while selling out their name, virtues, and brother who would have had their back in the time of need/battle.

    It would be bigger than Haye/Wladimir for sure. . . Most real boxing fans in tune with the sport knew exactly what was going to happen in that fight anyway. . Haye wanted a payday, and simply cared about surviving.


    It would be on par with some of the biggest HW fights of the past few decades.

    Not sure if it would do Floyd, or Manny type PPV numbers here in the states, but if they didn't like the moeny HBO was offering for World Championship Boxing, HBO would definitely pick it up for PPV, and I could see it easily doing 500k buys here.

    However, INTERNATIONALLY, it would be HUUUUUGGEE. . Probably have total international revenue in upwards of 100 million easily.

    So you are saying I would watch?

    How dare you.

    Just out of curiosity, how much would it cost to watch? :D

    It'd be absolutely huge, even in the States. And yeah, sick, too.

    I don't understand why they wouldn't consider this... they are never going to be ranked amongst the best Hw's to ever lace on a pair of gloves anyways...

    They should both take the 30m each... leave it all in the ring then go back to being the best of brothers after the fight then retire

    Get that last LARGE payday, then they'll be financially sound for the rest of their lives.

    "The only way it'd work is if the brothers beefed over something, like if Wlad porked Vitali's wife Natalia or something. If there was a legitimate grudge match and they went at it in the media for a good 6-12 months to build up hype, the fight would sell pretty good."

    I think so too, but to sell it to the boxing fans, the beef must be real. They could also sell it like a WWE conflict which would draw a different crowd.

    Klitschko's could have easily faked a rivalry to spark interest in their fight, hype the **** out of it and make 100 mil.
    Then bore the **** out of everyone by sparring to a draw.
