    I wish i had seen this on BBC1, but i didn't get up until 10am. :-(

    To make Wlad-Haye II a big seller, i think Haye needs to beat two opponents ranked in the Ring Mag top 10 & look impressive doing so. Same for Vitali-Haye actually, but i'd be happy if Haye KO'd one ranked opponent in exciting fashion, to earn the right for VK to smash his face in. :ko


    Really, David Haye should be fighting (of available ranked opposition)...

    Chambers, Arreola, Boystov or Dimitrenko.

    Everyone else is not available.

    If it makes money it makes sense as they say. I thought this might happen to be honest, a lot of my friends we're saying it would never happen but the Klits would have to fight 4 fights to make the money they would make against Haye.

    Not saying he lacks drawing power but compared to Haye it's no contest. There would be no interest from U.S and U.K markets which is where the big money comes from. Even if Povetkin beats Chagaev nobody in the US or UK will care.

    Haye being a public figure in the UK brings the biggest money in the division, when Lewis was around he bought U.S interest as well which is why he was being offered sums to rematch Vitali which added up the Haye and Wlad's combined purses.

    Povetkin maybe a big fish on the continent but in terms of revenue generated at best, he's a big fish in a small pond. Which is why the money in the heavyweight division is at a level not seen since the early 80's some 30 years ago. Way back then Tyson was earning more money than Haye or the Klits and definitely more than Povetkin and that was over 20 years ago.

    hbo wouldnt touch haye vs wlad 2 without haye racking up some wins 1st..infact i think it would be impossible to sell the fight if haye didnt earn it..if it does happen i predict it just makes the normal money for klit as he would have with any other guy...its time for him to start cleanin up and to shut people up...just my opinion tho...he said himself in the interview its not just about the money..time to back that statement up and to clean it out

    US may have bought the first fight but I doubt it contributed a lot to the overall purse as it was free to air in the US. Most of the money would have come from UK PPV and while a second fight would generate less it still would be on PPV and generate more money the Wlad is used to earning.

    Hopefully he can avoid the temptation of the big money but I doubt it, if it's offered he would be an idiot not to take it. Let's just hope the fight doesn't happen because we really need to move on from the last fight as it did nothing to help the plight of heavyweight boxing and another timid rematch would tarnish the division even more.

    agreed..time to move on and clean up...like i said if he goes and knocks out some top guys then earns it.then great nothing wrong with that..that would actually make me repect haye but having it give to him?no way..would be nice to see a rivilry somewer but no1 seems to be good enough to create one...haye would have been perfect wer it not that he was outboxed completly...

    does that mean kevin johnson has a chance against vitali in a rematch??where was the outcry for his rematch??...the only chance haye has of beating wlad is if he makes a mistake..and that goes for every other top 10 guy...theres a reason haye did not and wont fight a guy in the top 10 you know....
