    Yes but it would be a MUCH better atmosphere if it were in England, i think the Klitshko's are keen on doing it in England anyway so it dont matter really.

    Have it at the o2 or at Wembley on the undercard of Hatton vs Pacquiao.

    Haye and Hatton are pals - don't forget Hayemaker have ties with GBP......

    In Germany Haye is completely unknown. Just another no-name like Ray Austin. In order to hype a fight the spectators must know the other guy.

    The Klitschkos aren't unknown in Britain, are they?

    The fight will happen where the money is and that's not Germany: MUCH higher ticket prices in England.

    BTW: I don't like the "the challenger has to come to the champion's house" argument. "World champions" have to fight abroad, too. Just my opinion.

    That would be amazing but I think there is too much money to be made by putting the fights on separate cards so unfortunately I don't see it happening. Plus doesn't Hatton have a deal with Sky or are the rights to each fight sold separately?

    The Klitschkos began their professional careers in Germany in 1996, based in Hamburg. They signed a promotional contract with the German firm Universum. During the early years of their careers, the Klitschkos fought almost exclusively in Germany, and they developed a huge fan base there.

    After the brothers made it big as pros, they fought America, but Germany was still regarded as their home base.

    Other major international promoters, such as Don King, tried to sign the Klitschkos after the 1996 Olympics. Universum won out for some reason though.

    The Klitschkos didn't fight professionally in their native Ukraine because big league pro boxing isn't really developed there.

    If you think selling a place out is equivalent to generating an atmosphere you have pretty much defeated your own argument.
