And how do you think they built their fanbases in america? By fightin in america. I'd also question how sure you think the fighters have more fans in the US than their home country, i.e Marquez v katsidis attracted less than 5000 people to the fight. Do you think they'd get those numbers had it been held in mexico or australia. Im sure a pacquiao fight in the philippines would attract more than 50 000 fans. Do you think polands golden boy would attract more than 10 000 if he fought on home soil? Look, im not saying america is the right or wrong plAce to hold the fight, but you got to think outside the box. This could be sold to the american public if you package it with a good undercard and the right marketing. All it takes is one big fight to put your name out there.
It would make sense for Haye if he was young and had plenty of fights left as America is a better route to take for the long term (like Khan is doing). But he claims to be retiring in October and it's too late for Wlad, he's had his chance at stardom in the US and blew it. The Americans aren't gonna take a shine to him.
You guys gave him **** because you were sure he wouldnt have balls to fight HIV infested Chagaev. Now than he said he has no problem beating that guy, you ***** that too.
...........that "***** ass *****" and his brother have been wiping the floor clean with you boyz for about 6-7 years now.........why dont you bring someone to the table that can give them ko Brothas a real fight...?
Damn he looks like he's drunk in that pic, didn't realize he has so many wrinkles.. Can't blame Wlad for not wanting to fight in Vegas:-(, Vegas has become a thing of the past for big fight's MMA is too popular there, vegas isn't what it used to be:-( Texas has no state income tax, with the new Cowboys stadium it's becoming the new hot spot for big fights...
Vlad was drugged in Vegas! I don't blame him for never fighting there again! Vitali and Vlad will never fight in Vegas ever again. When Vlad told the hospital to save his urine/blood samples, two different sets disappeared! Someone was in his dressing room. Missing ID! Vlad has fought there before and knows what can happen. Madison Square Garden could be OK, Germany, even England, but not Vegas. Mark Ratner resigned after the drugging by the way! Why was that?! Vlad's MRI showed zero signs of a concussion. Vlad had extremely high blood sugar level. Doctors were very concerned about his having a diabetic coma.
Imo a big fight like this should be at the garden. Msg is the mecca the best arena in the US. And hendo do you have prove that Wlad is banned in nyc? If not then stfu you biased piece of sh4t bandwagon Wlad hater.
Vitali sold out in a snow storm at Madison Square Guarden, New York, NY, Vs. Kirk Johnson during a huge snow storm! Vlad knocked Bostice out at MSG also. They sell tickets at the Garden.
