    Post title speaks for itself

    Would Haye vs either Klit sell out the 70,000 Wembley Stadium?

    Also, does anybody know the figure of PPV buys? I year Sky estimated 500,000 sales - at £14.95 a pop that's £74,750,000 - and how does that compare to the biggest draws in America ie Floyd/Pac?

    Wembley's 90,000 -- not including seating on what's usually the pitch, which is estimated at several thousand.

    No. They wouldn't.

    In answer to your question, I don't think it would. A smaller football stadium might make sense, the New Den, Haye is a Millwall fan isn't he?

    Sell out the capacity of the stadium? No

    Sell out for boxing, maybe yes.

    Make truck loads of money for both? Yes

    I actually want Vitali to be the Klitschko to fight Haye, because his chin is like cement and he is almost as consistent as his younger brother in delivering the beating to any joke that challenges him.

    Haye is just another joke that wants a fight.

    i think it would do 45,000 at best.

    Hatton on the other hand could probably do 75,000 if he wanted to against a solid opponent

    It would require massive promotion to sell out, but 90,000 fans would be awesome

    What's awful about it?

    That's 500,000 times £14.95 that was paid is £74,750,000

    I find it hard to believe as well but that was Sky's forecast

    I don't believe it could sell that much. Massive promoting and some sort of 24/7 series would help it to top 60k, I guess.

    £ 7,475,000 that is :good
    15 times half a million isn't more than 7.5 times a million!

    500,000 x 10 = 5M. 500,000 x 15 = 7,5M

    Wembley holds 90,000. And yes it would. Haye- Harrison was sold out in hours, and every1 knew it would be a walkover. This 100% sells out!
