Reports coming out Haye did close if not over a million PPV'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. During my normal days, people who wouldn't even entertain a conversation about boxing with me regardless were actually asking me about this fight, and you know what, despite the fight being poor, some of these people today say that Haye did really well so they are also very easily pleased too. Ha.

I would hazard a guess right here that the PPV numbers for Haye's fights will likely get bigger from here on in.

Me too, he is very marketable. Richard Schaefer has said he could be the new Ali marketing wise because he has the charisma of the Greatest. Something Haye dismissed in embaressed fashion!! Not like him.

the main reason it sold so well is simply the freak show aspect of it, i was in the gym the other day and they had the tv's on sky sports news and when they showed haye and valuev together pretyy much everyone in the room seemed to stop what they were doing and look at the screens,

everyone got bought into the hype of because valuev was so big he must be a brilliant fighter and hit harder than anyone else....... this appeal of course will only work on people who havent seen valuev box before

Totally agree! Because of the size difference people who are never normally interested in boxing became intrigued. It makes you wonder why Haye never targeted Valuev in the first place as opposed to Wlad.

Wlad may be the best champ out there but for his first title shot at HW I'm positive Haye does better PPV agaisnt Valuev than he does either Klitschko.

The Klits don't have that crossover appeal to Joe Public but the sheer size of Valuev does..
