      Between the incidents before and after the Vittles fight, the banning in Germany and by the WBC, this was worldwide news that not only boxing fans and sports fans were watching, but the general public. No one was paying attention to Wlad-Haye except boxing fans.

        It wasn't comparable. You guys think boxing revolves around boxingscene only.

        Haye/Wlad hype spanned for years because our side is so desperate to dethrone the king of the HW division. He didn't fulfill it so we kicked him to the curb only to rehype him again for fighting Chisora...another Klitschko LEFTOVER!!

          Why would we think boxing revolves around this site. The simple fact is Haye-Wlad was looked upon by the boxing community only. Chisora-Haye was covered by network news and newspapers around the world. The controversy sparked the interest of the general public which is why two contenders were able to bank millions in spite of being banned, unsanctioned by the BBC and not fighting for a title. Sorry cuz but if you think Wlad-Haye had that type of hype than you're the one who's world revolves around this forum and the rest of the Klit nuthuggers. The only fight in the heavyweight division that could even be spoken about in the same realm as Pac-Floyd would be Klit vs Klit. And we both know that is never going to happen.

            Haye vs Klitschko was a much much bigger event. You obviously weren't paying attention to the British press and media in the build up for that fight. It may have even beaten the PPV record set by Mayweather Hatton, if not it's the second biggest PPV event in British history. Haye vs Chisora was shown on Epicx in American, so as you know Charr Klitschko will get much bigger numbers than that did there.

              Of course it was a bigger event, it was for the heavyweight championship. But it wasnt as hyped nor paid attention to with the general public for the reasons I already outlined. It had great interest in Europe, but the whole world knew about Chisora and Haye because of what happened before, during and after the Vittles fight. Network news in the US ran clips and talked about it. I can't recall a peep being talked about the Wlad fight except a small blurb on ESPN.

                Nobody except die hard Klit fans is going to give a crap about the Charr fight in any place besides maybe Germany.

                  Yet in American alone will get more viewers than Haye vs Chisora did there.

                    too be honest i misread the previous post. i thought he meant there was more hype for haye\chisora then there was for vitali\chisora. which is true but haye\klitschko was hyped for quite sometime but haye\chisora did attract fans who were not normally big fght fans. i watch more heavweight boxing then most people on this site. i watch all levels of the division. i watch tomato cans all the way up to the prizefighters so your statement that i think boxing revolves around this site is far from the truth. most of the posters here only watch the big fights. I WATCH THEM ALL!!!!!!

                      Only because it's being shown on the Ward undercard. Not even live...
