    Who other than Hatton as soon as a fight is announced can sell out a venue, even if they are only on an undercard

    I have heard Tony Jeffries can pack an arena up North after only 1 fight

    Prob not much between Khan, Froch and Haye but depends on the UK venue. Khan probably has more widespread appeal throughout the UK.

    I think with Haye it depends on the opponent as well. The Barratt fight was well promoted/ advertised and still struggled at the gate.

    Khan is the biggest ticket seller after Hatton.

    Martin Rogan might pack out the odessey in Belfast when he fights Sexton.

    any irish fighter fighting in belfast at a decent level will get a great crowd, people dont really buy into fighting bums here


    in england tony jefferies is going to be big big business, he'l fill out the stadium of light if he ever gets to world level


    joe/ john murray could do well in manchester

    gavin has identified himself with the buuurmingham football club so he'l have a good following

    david price could also do the same in liverpool

    people in specific geographic areas that have cult football status will be cross over stars in their own patches

    thats why i think deGale and Haye b.j saunders will struggle in the big stadiums unless they are fighting **** hot guys at a **** hot level

    It was hardly sold out. Hardly anyone bought a ticket and very few were there for Haye.

    Haye is probably the most value for money british fighter imo...Entertaining, knocked out pretty much everyone he's faced, and isn't afraidto go into the lions den...I think his issue is that he hasn't taken his time building up a padded record and raising his profile throughout the u.k, he's only had 23 fights and has unified a division and is now moving up to challenge for a world title at a second weight, which is perhaps another issue...he doesn't fight often enough either.

    Ability wise I'd probably rate Haye above Hatton...

    And to answer the question it is more than likely khan...which is sad but also shows how shrewd a promoter Warren is if you want to make money...he might not be the best man to be with for building a legacy...but money, you can't deny his system works...

    Enzo-Haye did sell out and a fair proportion of the cockney gobshites I saw there seemed to be supporting Haye.

    I am not saying Haye isnt a great fighter or maybe the best British fighter currently active. All I am saying is that no one really cares about him.

    It was sold out and the majority were there to see Haye, you know with it being in London.
