There were reports that Haye-Wlad did a million Sky PPV buys, Fury-Wlad did 400k (less than AJ-Whyte). Haye-Wlad got the highest ever audience on German TV for boxing (16 million). Both fights got over a million viewers in America on HBO.
No, the Dusseldorf arena is 55,000 and was sold out.
Haye-Wlad sold out 60,000. So you've fucked yourself again focusing on the most trivial point.
Chagaev v Wladimir sold out with 61,000, so clearly chagaev is the bigger draw here :S(eddie chambers was also very close to selling out the dusseldorf stadium and it might have actually been a sell out, i forget now.)



Anyway I am pretty interested to see how haye does in his comeback, he seems as popular as ever but is struggling with the tv deals and so on, hopefully this makes him push on a bit and fight more regulary and against better competition but I am not holding my breath on that one... He looked like he still has the power and hand speed but he seemed to be noticeably slower on his feet so in my opinion he is really going to have to work on that otherwise the tip top big guys will have little trouble with him .
