Lets drop the idea that this fight is going to get heavily hyped in the USA. It won't. Its not on PPV and it probably going to be time delayed. Its a Boxing after Dark show so it will get nothing special. They'll start the ads on HBO a month before and thats about it. ESPN3.com have being doing the Klitchko fights recently and they don't usually secure the rights till about a month in advance. So if Vitali v Arreola "sold itself", how do they need to do additional selling of Haye v Wlad?
Yeah, I don't see how this fight wouldn't 'sell itself'. The promotional tour for it effectively started when Haye turned heavyweight. Anybody who would give the slightest ****, already knows.
