Why are we even comparing? Haye and Klitshcko are heavyweights. They should outsell Pacquiao. What's sad to me, is that we're even having this debate. Heavyweight boxing should always do better than Welterweight boxing. Which just goes to show, what a pathetic state the HW division is in. It also shows what a huge draw Manny Pacquiao is.

Klitschko vs. Haye will sell way more tickets than Pacquiao could of.

It's just that boxing is so much bigger in Europe right now than in the US. Guys like Abraham, Sturm, and the Klitschko's can easily sell out any stadium in Germany if you give them the right opponent. If Germany was a fairer boxing country, top U.S. boxers wouldn't be so reluctant to go fight there.
If you have an access to any of the European based boxing websites with most of the posters are Europe based, try to make a poll.
The fight's in Germany (Klitschko's backyard)
Klitschko against a credible opponent VS. Pacquiao against a credible opponent, same day, who would sell more seats and PPV buys? If you took Haye for Klits, then you have to go by Floyd for Pacman. I would suggest to just use "credible opponents" for both for a level playing field. Just brace yourself though, because you might not like the result...Last edited by gopi11; 03-09-2011, 07:21 AM.
