25 000 English fans flying to watch Chagaev

[The Hammer]

Why is HBO pulling the plug on the fight now Haye is not involved then?

Because Ross Greenburg doesn't want to have Wladimir win the Ring championship with Americans watching.

He'd sooner have Dawson-Tarver II and Berto-Urango.

But Wlad doesn't need HBO - they've caused delays in his fights before, and prevented him from fighting a third time in 2007. Almost all of his TV money comes from RTL anyway.

Not on a two weeks notice, Chagaev isn't a huge name even in Germany, Haye sold this fight to alot of people who hates him and want to see what Wlad could do against him.

You're wrong - Chagaev IS a big name in Germany.

Stop hugging Haye's scrotum, raycorey! You come across as a silly 13 year old girl with a crush.

Let's see how many venues Haye sells out without Wlad. His last two fights in his hometown of London in smaller venues didn't even sell out!

You're wrong about this. Only the UK fans wanted to see Haye.

In mainland Europe and especially in Germany, Wladimir-Chagaev is a much bigger fight.

Would they have sold 60 000 tickets without Haye and that quickly?

God Tunney you talk alot of ****, why do you even like Wlad that much hes the most boring world champion i've ever seen, hes a disgrace to boxing..... actually are you Wlad?

Yes.

And if it had been Valuev they would have sold faster. Everybody from Moscow to Berlin wants to see Wladimir KO Valuev.

Slavs support one another unlike all those Brits who abandoned Hatton after his loss. INFERNO.......

How is he a disgrace to boxing? I think Haye is more disgraceful in his behavior.

Wlad has 46 KOs, how are knockouts not exciting? I enjoy watching Wlad and Vitali fight more than any other boxers - I have videos of almost all their fights, and watch them over and over again.

But no matter whether Wlad wins by early KOs (Austin) mid-round KOs (Brock) late KOs (Thompson) or a rare decision (Ibragimov) some hateful people trash him.

Also cuz HBO knows Chagaev Wlad ain't gonna be exciting to watch at all. Gonna be very technical fight, not too many fireworks.
