    He's only had one heavyweight fight on that station. They only have about 1 million punters.

    Why do you think HBO are interested in Haye but not Wlad?

    Because HBO wants to see a slaughter instead of someone who sounds like/looks like Sultan Ibragimov....if Wladimir KO Ruslan Chagaev in an early and spectacular manner then I doubt he'll ever have this issue again, but I understand that HBO didn't want to risk that much money on a product that COULD (doesn't mean it's certain) be boring and drive fans away. I think had it been Wladimir vs Valuev they would have been 100% on board with showing it.

    It's not all about Haye, it's Haye talks big, he walks small, and he'd be fun to watch get KO'd...remember how many people enjoyed watching MAB slam Naseem Hamed's head into the turnbuckle Well that my friends is what David Haye brings to the division.

    I call him the heavyweight version of Amir Khan.
    You know a guy that has potential but talks too much and lots of fight fans wants to see him get the s-hit knocked out of him.

    Do you think they would prefer Haye to KO Wlad? I think they would find that more fun plus would be guaranteed no more boring fights.

    I think that is right. Fact.

    Haye would be more marketable in the US then Klitscko.

    Yes that would REALLY solve the problems the division has ...can you honestly see Haye lasting in the heavyweight division even in a division without either Klitschko?

    Keep drinking that David Haye Kool Aide...you'll be doing a spit take soon enough when Haye comes across a LIVE heavyweight body....BTW when is YOUR BOY going to fight and who is he going to fight? It will not be Wlad, it will not be Vitali.....who then for Mr. Haye? Brian Minto?

    There aren't any. There are two reanimated corpses that some Soviet scientists used to create the Klitschko brothers and a whole other bunch of stiffs. The chinny cruiser Haye is the most exciting fighter in the division, the rest get their fights shown on the Shopping Channel.

    If you watch HBO, they have been hyping Haye a little bit for the past few months. (IE he appeared in Max Kellerman's rising stars montage). I don't know why they like him, but they do. I would guess it has to do with his charisma and his exciting fighting style.

    HBO seems bent on having one Klitscho fight Haye and the other fight Areolla. Watch, if Vitali wins his arbitration against Maskaev(which the results should out soon), he will wind up on HBO fighting either Areolla or Haye

    ...I think if the Klitschko's were Don King fighters they would be "the greatest thing since sliced bread" but then again they would be less wealthy
