Anyone else suprised by the amount of coverage that Haye vs Valuev has got?

I was at the gym yesterday and everyone was talking about this fight, then on the way home on the bus, a group of lads were talking about it, I usually never hear anyone talking about the boxing ever, surprised me with how many people have an interest in this fight. Its definately the David vs Goliath novelty factor.

I guess its just where i am from in the states but only the hardcore fans even know who these two are. No play on the TV or radio. Not even on many of the consolidated sports websites. Too bad because it surely interests me! i would make a prediction but im afraid of eating my words because i have no clue how david will react to punching up all night and getting leaned on by the tower of hair. Heres to a good fight!

If Haye wins, it'll break into American mainstream I'd guess.
