Haye v Klit - Negotiations underway confirms IBF

[rjj tszyu]

I don't know, they are well popular. If you put them against the German national team then yes but against just the Bayern Munich's and Leverkusen's of the the world Wlad and Vitali get 10 million viewers in Germany per fight alone. I don't know how many viewers the domestic games get in Germany but 10 million is some going and if they get that for every Bayern game i'd be impressed.

They are very different sports as far as news as there is so much more to talk and write about in football. And there are a hell of a lot more pro's in the sport too. It is not really something you can compare.

German football does fantastically on both attendance & viewing figures because it's all affordably priced. I heard the other day on the Lyon-Bayern second leg commentary that the first leg was watched by 12m people in Germany. Considering they aren't even the country's biggest club, that's pretty impressive.

Also if you can't compare it, it's probably best to avoid statements saying someone is 'the biggest sports star' in whatever country

Sorry I'll retract my statement.

(Don't forget they are not German though )

Neither are the two most endorsed athletes in Germany right now, Arjen Robben & Edin Dzeko (I can feel people going 'who?')

No but both Wolfsburg and Bayern are. Ronaldo is not as big here now he is not here.
