So who will you be rooting for: Klitschko or Haye?

[Jack_DempseyCSC]

Klitschko but not at the expense of him being his usual safety 1st approach,i think it would have been interesting for the HW division if Haye did win and fight on but since he's retiring in October anyway i'll be rooting for Klitschko as i don't see Haye getting chance to fight Vitali before October retiring deadline anyway.

Want Haye to win for a number of reasons.

Wlad has all the things in his favor, height,weight,strength,experience,home stadium, chose country/venue, gloves, 2nd to ring, the corner, rules, referee, have him seen as the main man in advertising and promos, and 50-50 split even though he generates a tiny fraction of the money Haye does,has his own personal doctor as the fight doctor etc. He has no excuses if he loses. Seeing all the people on here cry will be worth the money to watch it alone. Another over-rated boxer will have bit the dust.

And the main reason is because i am a huge boxing fan and remember how the HW division used to be. If Wlad stays champ then it will stay the way it is which means the division is dead. Haye is like a defibrillator shock trying to bring it back to life. Taking away the ****** demands and taking it away from germany is the best thing that can happen for it in my opinion.

Do you think all these people in Germany are there to see Haye?

Kltischko is a big ticket in Germany. The bros make bank over there.

Klitschko makes more money than Haye.

That's a fact.

I'll be rooting for haye (even though I think Klitschko is going to KO him with 4-6 rounds) because if Haye were to win, it would set up a revenge fight with the older brother Vitali and that would be a MASSIVE event, many times bigger than this.

I usually go for what I think is best for the sport and this is one of those occasions.

Years ago you'd have been 100% correct, but keep in mind Vitali is 40+ years old now with blown out knees. Even with the storyline, there would be some subtle pointlessness in the air that night.

Mate your talking bollocks......

Germany has a no pay per view law. That means nobody pays to watch him on tv. In america and most parts of europe his fights are broadcast free.
Haye on the other hand has Sky Box Office which charge £15 per view. They estimate 2 million buys in the UK alone. That is £30m pounds generated just from the UK. Who do you think those people are paying to see? In america they won't even touch Klitchsko's fights.
As for the people in the arena go watch the pre fight weigh in and tell us who had the most fans there.....

I'm not really a fan of either fighter (Doesn't mean I dislike either of them), so I just want to see a good fight. Hopefully the weather doesn't have any effect on the fights outcome.

I can't make any sense out of this post. Haye is a bigger draw than Wlad in the UK, not anywhere else, and not even close globally. 50-50 is ridiculous because most places this fight is being marketed as "Klitschko vs his next victim".

The "I am a huge boxing fan and remember how the HW division used to be thing" cracked me up. Haye is the most boring heavyweight at the moment. He has the lowest compubox punch output in the division (as far as ranked fighters).

VS Valuev; Literally running in circles around the ring, people seen sleeping in the audience. This was Valuev's most boring fight, and that's an incredible statement.
Ruiz; Illegally rabbit punching a grey-haired 40 year old with a beer belly until he keels over from a 1-2 that wouldn't have hurt most fighters with a pulse. In one word, "awkward".
Harrison; Calls for both fighters to retire. So terrible the commission withheld Haye's paycheck to investigate if what had occurred qualified as a fight. What more needs to be said?

His combined punch output during these fights: 25 per round. That's in the realm of Royce Gracie.

I think what you meant to say is this; "Haye is a snorefest in the ring, but I sure to laugh at the stuff he says at press conferences"

Adamek is a cruiserweight who carried his excitement and speed to heavyweight. Haye is a gunshy chicken who spends 80-90% of his time in the ring "posing" and winding his hands up for punches that never happen.
