    British fans would again go nuts, making up 75% of the crowd in a potential Vegas fight. No one from Germany (or the Ukraine for that matter) will travel to America for a fight. In that regard, the British are unique in their fanaticism.

    When Klitschko fights in the States, it's only in the tri-state area these days. It would be Klitschko vs. Brock all over again when MSG was full of Russians and Ukrainians.

    They don't have to travel, they are already here.

    there are alot of Russians in the USA they would suport Vlad and the Russians have more money to travel. Does Monte Carlo have an arena to hold alot of people? the European playground would be perfect Russians, Germans, Ukranian and Brits could attend.

    WTF are you going on about?

    The casual boxing public in the US and UK are going to be the same in terms of foreign fighter knowledge. Oh what a profound point you make there. (sic)
    The difference is that the economic clout of garnering casual fan base in the US is a financial monster.

    Are you so thick that you don't understand that? Every promoters dream is to tap into that money orgasm.

    Yeah right, well he talks a nice line anyway.

    If the fights in Germany - Klitschko gets more support

    If the fights in the UK - Haye gets more support

    It's not rocket science.................

    Maybe because neither talks as much **** as Haye does? Go ahead, play the race card, it's easier for you that way.

    Number of tickets sold is only a small part of the equation. I am not familiar with Haye's drawing power but if he can draw 20,000 brits to the US the way that Hatton did the casino's will salivate and put up a large site fee. With the dollar as weak as it is the brits will be happy to throw money down at the tables in the casinos.

    That is something that has been explained to death on these boards and yet the european posters never seem to get it. We have large stadiums here too, they don't get used because casinos put up big money for the fights.

    Yes, but the questions was who'd attract more support if the fight were to take place in Vegas?

    The 02 arena will put up enough money for this fiught to be in the UK, so it will be 99% haye, even in the US it would be pro Haye.

    even if the fights in germany, Haye would get more vocal support. the german fans just clap, they dont make noise.

    would not affect haye fighting in germany or ukraine, he KO Mormeck in his home town.
