5 Reasons why David Haye is the #1 heavyweight

[Dave Rado]

If he's not then how come all of his fights are on PPV and all of the Klitschko's fights are free?

Due to signing with Sky PPV, Haye gets between 500k to 1 million max viewers per fight. Due to sticking with terrestrial TV, the Klitschkos get between 15 million and 20 million viewers per fight. That's more than 20 x more viewers who watch the Klitschkos' fights than Haye's fights.

In the US, almost all of the Klitschkos' title fights have been shown on one of the channels, and more than 20 have been shown on HBO. Only a couple of Haye's fights have been shown on any US channel, and none of them have been on HBO.

In terms of live gates, the Klitschkos have several times sold out stadiums of 50k fans. Haye's maximum live gate so far was less than 20k.

It's not that Haye hasn't fought Wlademere. It's that Wlademere hasn't fought Haye.

In case you forgot, my fellow knowledgeable boxing fan, Wlademere opted for 14-fight master Dereck Chisora instead of Haye, after Haye agreed to everything Wlademere wanted.

You love making things up don't you? Wlad opted to fight both Chisora in April and Haye in July. But Haye pulled out of their fight.

Worst post ever. Has haye ever pulled 60k to a stadium?

im a fan of haye,but no way is he no 1 at heavy,hes had barely any fights compared to wlad has at heavy,he only has 1 title,he hasnt fought the top guys out there yet,he hasnt fought the best possible guy yet tbh,his opponents are rated worse than they should be ,but still,neither were special,his performances are more watchable and style more enjoyable than klits,his performances are better than people make out,but could all have been a little better still.

hes a long way off no 1 spot.

you have to beat wlad for the proper no 1 spot,and need to beat vitali atleast to be considered for it,beating both is the only proper way to be undisputed no 1.
