    No one I know seems to know about this or maybe not care. First time round, everyone knew.

    I suspect it will pick up much more nearer the time but do you think people got even more bored than the hardcores did?

    This is true. I expected a little more hype now that it has been signed. I think people are being cautious knowing that these 2 can pull out of fights...........

    This wiil be huge, once Sky start hyping this fight,last time it was pretty low key with Setanta backing it.I think some of the media outlets have been burnt before with so called announcents so it`is a bit of an wait and see attituide at he moment also it was a busy Weekend for sport.When the media tour starts and Haye and Sky go in to overdrive,the casuals will be talking about it, and the newspapers will lap it up.

    When I told some of my mates about the fight happening they didnt show much interest.

    Haye will do a good job of selling the fight, the press conferences should be fun.
    I hope once the publicity snowball starts rolling this fight gets the build up it deserves.

    It is hard to convey how massive this will be come fight week... It will be bigger than Hatton Mayweather in terms of public exposure

    People don't know the brothers even exist. Nobody cares if they a 6"7 after The Beast.

    Anyway, easy win for either Klit.

    As soon as the first official press conference takes place with the two fighters standing infront of each other eye to eye... that's when the rel hype will start. Haye will probably say or do something contriversial and probably do something contriversial too. Wlad will react and we'll see a Tyson-Lewis type build up.
