If Haye wins tonight does he become a super star in the UK?

He already is huge on the UK, its whether he becomes a star in the US that is more debateable. I think the Americans will like him, in the absence of a legit US fighter, its gotta be better than watching the Eastern Europeans dominate a washed up division. My two cents anyway.

Haye is not huge in the UK yet. He's known but not huge. I'm talking about super star status here.

He's topping the bill on Sky Box Office! How much bigger could he be?

First heavyweight champ since Lennox Lewis, I can see it being huge. His mouth is so big I can't see it going any other way. Adverts, tv apperances, he's gonna be huge if he wins! Boxing will have a massive boost in the UK.

Haye thinks he's there already. He's a million miles away from it in reality, even if he wins tonight that doesn't change, nobody watches PPV outwith fight fans.

He is a popular well known boxer at the moment. If he wins this fight and brings the world title back to the uk he will become an instant star.

He will be on the tv regular, in the papers most days and on the radio. It would also be a huge boost for boxing in the uk.

A big star if he manages to pull it off tonight, he will get major props from the british people and media.

Lol if he wins we'll never hear the end of it that's for sure.

Lmao, This is what am dreading, I hope he wins but if he wins he would be a Huge star over here, People know him already but he would be even bigger star-wise than he already is right now.

My boss knows I'm gonna watch David VS Goliath.

I phoned up and my bowling/bar place has the fight which they rarely ever do.

It seems to be bigger than most fights other than Hatton.

lthoguh I doubt he is well known by the mainstream.
