The Klitschkos are much bigger draws than Haye.

I saw attendance for the Ruiz fight at around 16K or 18K depending on the site that reported it.
If that's the case it doesn't speak well about Haye that he grew 7K less fans to the Ruiz fight than he did for either the Valuev or Enzo fights.
Why such a sudden decline in popularity?

There might have been a lot in the MEN that night, but you can bet it was nowhere near 23k paid.

First of all it was for a world title and secondly it was against the biggest freak of nature ever seen in the boxing world. A fight against a dull, past it 'Quiet Man was never gonna cut it in comparison.
Exactly, the Valuev-Haye fight did well because of Valuev, casual fans that don't know Valuev sucks wanted to see the freak of nature, however against Ruiz Haye did much worse. Unlike the Klitschkos, who no matter who they fight always do huge numbers.
