Yeah i get irritated sometimes when people talk like america is the only country that watches and buy boxing event, Am pretty sure Haye was refering to PPV sales in the UK or Europe,
If so he was being highly misleading. See here.
Tyson was beyond shot when he fought Lewis and he also got caught smoking drugs prior to the fight,so if this fight beats that ridiculous fight fraud named Tyson -Lewis it is not a big deal.
Of course it would be a big deal if it beat that fight because that fight broke all PPV records. But it can't beat that fight, because most of the PPV sales for that fight were in the US, and this fight won't be on US PPV. The UK PPV for this fight has no chance whatsoever of doing better than the combined US and UK PPV for that fight.
Nobody would have cared about this fight a decade ago. The main reason why there is so much hype behind this fight is because Wladimir is fighting a genuine challenger and not some bloated fighter going for a paycheck.
The level of this interest just shows how these Klitschko Bros have ruined the HW division for a decade with their robotic style of fighting and nobody wants to pay to watch mundane fights.
I'd have thought we'd been through this often enough.
1) Wladimir has fought a much higher level of opposition than has David Haye.
2) Haye fans have paid a surprising amount of money to watch fights that don't even reach the level of "mundane". The Valuev and Harrison fights were complete jokes, but somehow David Haye's fans continue to buy into his claim of being "exciting".

I don't think this fight will generate more revenue than Lewis-Tyson but it should brake a few British records.

lol at the klit nut huggers thinking haye is scared, wlad was the one jumping all over the place trying to shake his hand, then sat their speechless and haye tore him a new one
cant wait for you klitards to vanish when haye finishes wlad
Haye vs Klitschko will destroy box office records in the UK. At 12 years of age, even I knew Lewis vs Tyson was a dud fight with only one person who was going to come out on top. In stark contrast to this, Haye vs Klitschko involves two prime athletes at the pinnacle of their careers. It promises explosiveness and involves a true Brit unlike that maple syrup loving pretender Lennox Lewis.
I don't care if this fight is big in the states or not. It's a heavyweight fight staged in Europe, involving two Europeans, and is distinctly a Eurocentric event. Which ever way you put it, this fight is far bigger and meaningful than IS ON. 90% of Germany will watch this fight as will nearly 2 millions Brits. The rest of continental Europe will be glued to their screens as well.
Since the fight isn't PPV in the US, he must be talking about the UK and wherever else it is a PPV, otherwise it makes no sense.
It would be incredibly stupid of Haye to say the fight would outdo Lewis-Tyson in the USA because these two are not as big as Lewis and Tyson put together at the time of that fight, Haye has only had 2-3 fights at HW against mediocre opposition so he cant and doesnt have the power to command a PPV event in america, Wlad even though is known in america fought most of his recent fight in Germany..even the Lewis-Tyson fight was bigger than this fight.
you know, not everyone is american
Yeah i get irritated sometimes when people talk like america is the only country that watches and buy boxing event, Am pretty sure Haye was refering to PPV sales in the UK or Europe, We all know the fight isnt PPV in the states, Sometimes you got to separate not liking someones attitude away from your post, I know Haye rubs people up the wrong way with his attitude but we dont need to act silly with regards to how we post in relation to whatever he says.
Tyson was beyond shot when he fought Lewis and he also got caught smoking drugs prior to the fight,so if this fight beats that ridiculous fight fraud named Tyson -Lewis it is not a big deal.
Haye is garbage!

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.you know, not everyone is american
in the uk???cause it aint ppv here
duhhh lol
tyson lewis did 1.9 mill in us
and 800k in uk
so technically its sold the most p.p.vs over oscar floyd
i think hatton floyd did about a mil in uk also
edit 1.4 mil in uk
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.
Keep fantasising.
