To quote my favorite movie:

Delusional thoughts from Fantasy Island.

Not to mention the fight isn't even PPV here. LOL.

When Lewis/Tyson happened I had 100 people at my house, 3 rooms showing it, and a massive party.

Go out on the street and ask 50 people and not ONE person will know who Haye is, and maybe 10 will know Klitschko because he dated Hayden.

It may well do more buys here in the UK than Lewis-Tyson did though, some fights have done more than that. Off the top of my head I know Mayweather-Hatton did significantly over 1 million buys, when you consider the UK population is roughly a 1/5 of the US that shows just how big that fight was here, and Klitschko-Haye isn't far off that.

Yes the article is a very misleading: it's clearly referring to the UK PPV figures only, not the US; but it was in the US, not the UK, where Lewis-Tyson broke box office records (it got 1.95 million buys in the US, which at $50 a throw is a lot more impressive than the equivalent number in the UK, at £14.95 a throw).

The Sky PPV figures for Lewis-Tyson were actually 760,000, not 800,000 as the article claims. But that was the early days of Sky Box Office, when it had a far smaller subscriber base than it does now. Even Haye-Valuev did better than that. Of course Haye-Wlad will do far better than that in the UK, now that Sky's subscriber base is so much higher than it was back then, and given that several subsequent fights have had more than a million PPV sales in the UK; so if all the article is saying is that it will get more than 800k PPV buys in the UK, at £14.95 a throw, then it's just stating the obvious.

In fact the fight should get way over a million PPV buys in the UK, given that Haye is the first British Heavyweight to fight for a lineal title since Lewis retired. If Sky promotes it effectively it should get close to 2 million buys (but these are not comparable to the same number of US buys, where the cost of buying a PPV is far higher).

Actually I NEVER saw any boxer as scared as Haye.

Bruno looked quite scared during the walk-in against Tyson, but Haye is a different scare-league.
