How well the Klitschko v Williams fight December 11 did in the US on PPV sales seems to be a matter of dispute but in Germany it was a big hit. Bild Zeitung reports that 2,02 millions households were tuned in and watched the fight live on ARD early - 5 AM or so - Sunday morning. ARD now wants to have the Klitschkos live primetime in Germany. It could mean Vitaly defending the WBC title in the USA with younger brother Wladimir appearing on a show in Germany on the same night.

Isn't it that the Klitchkos came from Ukraine and Isn't it that Ukrain is a former member of the USSR? Hmmm....so the Germans also like the Klitchkos.

Probably got more to do that they lived in Germany, started their profesional careers there, and fought almost all of their fights there.

Nice, Klitschkos are a hit in Europe, especially in Germany, Ukraine, and somewhat Russia. If the numbers didn't total up in the States, they most definately will over seas.

Klitchko is too tall, man. I hate tall boxers. The ideal height ought to be tyson-williams height.
