Comments Thread For: Klitschko vs Haye Sparks a £50 Million Bidding War

[shade darkar]

Vitali sold 40000 tix vs nobody like Sosnowski. And who cares about how much O2 Arena can hold, when German stadiums with roof can hold twice more?

wembley? millenium stadium, old trafford, celtic park etc etc all bigger than stadiums in germany.

It's not just that, IMO author took that number out of thin air. £50 Million? Why not 72,9 or 100? Article doesn't mention any kind of exact number, let alone quote on it.

Type Daily Star into goolge and check out the other edge cutting journalism they have at their disposal.

And how much tix Haye sold there?

It would be best to hold it in england. Birthplace of the sport, better atmosphere. They'd probably sell more ppv's in the uk also, it would be easier to hype the fight if it were happening here.

TBH, they shouldn't need to worry about judges. this one isn't going the distance.

i think that would be the least of the worries for this fight. any of those stadiums i just named would be packed for this fight. thats not the point tho, my point is they wouldnt even consider it because wlad would never fight haye in his back yard. funny how they said anywhere in europe, but not england!

You've also got to take into account ticket prices. Tickets for Klitschko's fights start at 20 Euro, Haye's were £80 against Harrison.

I really dislike Haye, there is something about him I just don't like.
Is he trying to pull a Ali in the ending of his career?
Last time I checked Ali had the skills that fit the talking yet Haye does half and we know that man can't do the backing up.

Is Haye populair in England?

Is selling 800k PPVs popular?

I think that nobody cares about what you think. Business is all about numbers, and there is no such thing as 'would be' when millions are on the line. The bottom line is that Klitschkos drew a LOT more in Germany then Haye in Britain.

Regarding Wlad never fighting Haye in his back yard, you probably have very short memory because Wladimir agreed to fight in Britain in 2009 while Haye failed to deliver a deal with Stamford Bridge.
