    Question for the British fans...

    How big is Klitschko vs. Haye in the UK?

    Is it bigger then Hatton vs. Floyd or Hatton vs Pacquiao?

    For the old timers is it bigger then Lewis vs. Tyson?

    Thanks for the feedback, seems that UK boxing has had some huge momentum the last 5-7 years and it can only get better after the 2012 games which will surely produce some more British superstars.

    I'd say it was bigger than the Hatton fights, not as big as Mike/Lewis though

        It's funny, because for me personally none of my friends were talking about that fight but they all are for this one, I guess it just depends where you are and who your with

          Mayweather-Hatton is still the biggest fight out of all the fights you mentioned, Everyone was talking about it, They brought Mayweather over to Manchester city centre and he goad and trashtalk/Hype up that fight and made it bigger..

          Pac-Hatton wasnt that big to be honest from my side in terms of hype, I think Wlad-Haye is just a bit bigger than Pac-Hatton in my area.

            I live in Edinburgh, Scotland and I've never seen boxing matches in last few years being advertised in bars in city centre. The Sports bars do but I'm talking about normal up market bars. However the majority of pubs in city centre all have either posters or chalk boards outside advertising the Haye vs Klitschko fight in their pub. I would say it's the biggest fight in UK since Lewis vs Tyson simply because it's heavyweights and not just any heavyweights, it's 2 that are in their prime and both have real power!!

              haye v wlad popularity won't touch hatton vs avoid.


              hatton vs avoid was huge huge huge. an estimated 30000 hatton fans in vegas alone. i doubt the UK will see anything like that again.


              Haye vs Wlad is big, and maybe bigger than Hatton vs Pac. But it'll never touch hatton vs avoid.

                Hatton vs Floyd was and still is the Daddy! This country was mad for that *****, my favourite build up ever.

                People werent as excited for the Pac fight and obviously Lewis vs Tyson was big but most knew it was an Old Mike Tyson. Klitchko vs Haye IS Huge but not PBF vs Ricky Huge...


                BTW anyone who wants a laugh type into you tube - Haye vs Klitchko Hitler

                Its some funny *****!

                  Thanks for the feedback.

                  I read that Hatton vs. Floyd did 1.2-1.4 million PPV buys.

                  How many buys are projected for this fight? I've read Haye saying this fight will break that record, is that a possibility since it will actually be in prime time or is he just trying to hype the fight?
