You think Floyd and Manny are bigger stars in the UK than David Haye?
I doubt any more than 15% of the population even know who Floyd and Manny are

I think you'd be surprised. People might not watch them fight, but I think they've both embedded into the public consciousness as boxers. Part of that may be the name.
I'm seeing a lot more excitement for the Mayweather fight this weekend than there was for Haye-Ruiz or even Haye-Valuev. I'm not saying the PPV would do better, but that they have more name recognition with the average person.
Where you seeing this then?
This fight has barely had a mention in the press.
