He qualifies it as meaning in the UK at 6:15 but not at 7:15. You are right it will break box office records and while promoters may have paid silly money to secure the Povetkin -Wlad fight I am not so sure that it will draw any where near as many views as they are hoping for. It will be interesting to compare the PPV sales etc when both are over.
Re: Is Haye - Fury bigger than any fight involving the Klitschko brothers ?
its a bigger fight in the uk than any involving either klit
its arguably a bigger fight for the rest of the world excluding germany and eastern europe than any involving a klit appart from perhaps if fury or haye fought a klit
i think haye will knock him out quite early

I'm not sure how Russian TV works but they don't have PPV in Germany. I am pretty sure you will see shitloads more interest, across all boxing forums (twitter etc), between Haye-Fury than Wlad-Pov though.
The American's (non-hardcore fans) wont give a shit about either fight. However, when you have Russian oligarchs buying fights for obscene amounts and British fans buying into a terrific event, who cares?
