The PPV was from the UK only, Klitschkos arent from the UK

The level of star power is really incredible here. This is one of the worst Heavyweight title fights ever made on paper and these sales are just remarkable in that light.

Can't knock the rock star element of it.

Vitali-Adamek and Wlad-Haye each had attendance of about 60,000.

They dont have the nba,mlb,nfl, nascar, mma, mls, college football, college basketball, hockey, and a host of other SH*T TO DO like americans do.

of course they would sell out. Its the only thing on the menu.

LMFAAOOOO.

Fellas like you need to travel more often...

There is more variety of sport on TV in Europe, damn even South America, then the US of A and Canada by far.....

TRAVEL! See the world, see something outside of America...There is a whole different would out there you know....With many great things that America doesn't have and will not in the near future.

Entertainment we get in North America pales in comparison to that of other places....TV is **** here! We get garbage programing, USA is the best off I think, Canada is just bad on par with Mexico.

It's like Germans go ape **** for whatever celebrity they have since they have so few.


A LOT of Europeans are nationalists as well, so it's not surprising there are so many fans of Wlad and what he represents for them. Wlad is one of the most boring HW Champs of all time (at least top 3), it's why he isn't popular in America at all.

If Europeans are so nationalist than K Bros would only be popular in Ukraine...not Germany and everywhere else...

Do you know what nationalist means???

Holy **** some of you guys are just challenged...

How can their nationality be the biggest thing?

They are Ukrainians fighting in Germany, how would this make Germans like them on nationality basis? There is no "EURO PRIDE", a German is a German and a Frenchman is a Frenchman, and a Brit is Brit...

There is more in common and more unity between an Asian, Black and White Americans than there is between an Italian and a Spaniard.....by a factor of 1000.

Ukrainian Communists captured Berlin in WWII for Christ's sake...

The only instance of a group or two people identifying as "European" as in some kind of brethren like context would be if they met in a foreign place somewhere in Asia, or wait......America......some place where they stand out enough to be considered different. Then they would say "we are Europeans."

Floyd had to give away tickets to his last fight to fill a much smaller venue.

Far more people in the world watch Wlad's fights than Mayweather's fights. Outside the US, nobody knows who Floyd Mayweather is.

I'm looking forward to the fight and hope it will be exciting...mid round knockout, perhaps....hopefully mormeck comes to fight
