Haye not in top 50 according to the RING

[Pirao]

Well if he could sell more than any Wlad fight has with a PPV with Harrison im pretty sure he is the main PPV attraction while Haye may have never fought on HBO at least he doesnt have a lifetime ban from them lol

So if they have a lifetime ban on Wlad how would HBO show Wlad-Haye? You drunk mate?

[Ryn0]

No it isn't. The PPV numbers will in part be thanks to Wlad too, unless you think Haye fighting Chagaev would do the same as Wlad-Haye, in which case I don't know what to tell you. When has Haye sold out a stadium? Never.

In all honesty, this fight will probably do the same numbers as the Harrison fight.

Harrison was quite well known and they built it up as a whole redemption thing, literally everyone I knew was watching the fight. I went to a club to watch it and it was full, people were standing outside the club not allowed in trying to see the TV through the windows. It's mental, Haye would be directly responsible for 90% of the PPV's, it's not fair since other fighters deserve more recognition and coverage but the British honestly care very little about foreign fighters. Most of the people I speak to only know who the Klitschkos are because Haye mentions them and the other half don't have a clue, they think Haye is THE heavyweight champion. The only fighters they know who are foreign are the ones that are fighting British fighters, and most of them forget who they are, For example no one remembers who Calzaghe actually fought only that he was undefeated. The two fighters they remember Hatton fighting are Pacquiao and Mayweather.

You could stick Haye in there with Amir Khan and it would be the biggest selling British PPV of all time, I've had people at Uni ask me who would win Hatton or Calzaghe, or I get some Pacquiao vs Haye questions sometimes. Not exactly fair, but this is the kind of **** we're talking about.

While Adamek is 49, and both Klitschkos, Wlad and Vitali, are inside the top 20 at 8 and 12 respectively. How do you like that, Gaye fans?

He looks like Number # 2 too me.

How many PPVs did Haye-Harrison make? Not doubting you, since you seem a level-headed poster unlike the usual Gaye fans, but I'd like some links if possible.

That would be #3 AT HW, since Wlad, the champion would be #1. And we're talking about P4P, where Wlad is #8 and Haye isn't in the top 50

Exactly without fighting Haye nobody cares who they fight thus proving my point and he did around 900k with Harrison much more than Klit could ever hope for off who they fight.

[King Ju-Ju]

ring magazine sucks.

[ShatteredGlass]

adamek should be higher than haye, but that is disgusting.
adamek is a top 20 fighter

no he's not.

Michael Grant and that other bum he just fought are jokes, and Areolla is ranked lower than Valuev

We'll see if they show Wlad-Adamek or not, will we not? Provide some links for the PPV numbers, that's what people usually do.

I dont see anybody that Wlad has beat on that P2P list while the others have fought at least somebody else on that list. Wlad gets a pass for fighting bums for some reason from Ring magazine.

Although Icant find any offical figures maybe they arent out yet it is a common consensus it did close to the 1m mark.
