on a global scale can Wlad vs Haye come close to generating the $$ of Pac vs Floyd?

    Pac-Floyd = Big In the US.

    Klit-Haye = Big in the EU.

    Pretty much everyone in the UK knows about David Haye, loads of people in Germany know about the Klitschko Bros. and pretty much everyone in the US knows about Pretty Boy and Pacman.

    Due to the fact PPV events tend to sell more in the US and the large Filipino audience that would be viewing the fight, I would go with Pac-Floyd. And obviously it it was filling an arena or stadium obviously I would go with Haye-Klitschko.

    Its closer than people might think though. Haye is a natural born salesman, and the trash talking and the build up before the fight would be brill, and Klitschko can sell out a German football stadium without even trying.

    These fights MUST happen.

    That's not strictly true. He's becoming a household name here actually, getting on all the talk shows etc. Klitschko-Haye would create pretty big interest here, but Haye is happier fighting guys like Audley...

    If they put Haye-Wlad on PPV round Europe, I'd bet a HELL OF A LOT OF MONEY that it would do more PPV buys than money-pac

    No way, I know a lot of hardcore fans where I live and not one gives a F^ck about the heavyweight division. Absolutely, No one would pay for anything with a Heavyweight fight as the headline. That is not to say that it would not be big in Europe, but I really do know how anyone can watch that pathetic display of skill that the heavies have.

    Given that PPV in the US costs more than twice of what it does in the UK and Europe, no.

    Wlad n Haye are only known in Germany n UK, they arent known throughout whole of Europe and Klits are big in Germany because their fights are free.

    Haye/Wlad couldn't fill stadium in US (say 60k) but i bet Pac/Floyd could sell out Wembley in an instant.

    No.

    Wlad vs. Haye will be much bigger in Europe, but Pac vs. Floyd will be bigger in the US and most parts of the rest of the world.

    Not a chance in hell!!!!

    Even England footy team don't sell out for some matches. The only reason you think may/pac can sell out a stadium in UK is because you spend so much time on places like esb. The regular man in the street just doesn't care about non-uk boxers
