Funny :Press Conference Haye vs Wladimir Klitschko

[El Kabong]

i wanna know where these exciting HW fights that Haye has had were, becuase I saw a snooze fest against Valuev and a joke fight against Fraudley

would you rather watch haye fight or wlad?

would 99% of the population ratgher watch haye fight or wlad?

That's easy for me, I can't stand Haye, so it would have to be Wlad, and the 99% of figure is simply ridiculous.

I gotta admit though eric, your undying love for Haye is touching.

just realistic

and i dont have a love for him, read my posts on this thread, i am saying the hw division hasnt been great and it has improved sinces hayes arrival and haye as champ would improve its appeal to a wider audience

and it might be hard for you haye haters to swallow but i believe that to be a fact

OK let me get this straight....there's a guy that can now pull 20K fans vs a guy that has regularly pulled 50K fans and you're telling me the guy that gets 20K fans is the one "99% of the population would rather watch"? I hate to break it to you pal, but the ticket sales seem to differ from your assessment.

Sad really....enjoy watching your boy get KTFO

Don't you think those numbers may be relative to the population size doing most of the buying?

Germany and the Ukraine's combined population eclipses Britain's so of course he is going to have more potential buyers. It doesn't mean to say that proportionally he has more or that it is a measuring stick for who is the more crowd pleasing fighter.

That's all irrelevant though, really... the fact is that globally the two fighters together are a bigger draw than any of the fights that either has been in. We'll know for certain when we get the numbers of the fight and find out how much Wlad has earned and comparing them to his past figures, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if this topped them all.

I'm not sure what all the hand bags are flying for to be honest... both fighters are going to make good bank, probably their best... and it's an interesting match up, haye is an underdog but brings enough to the table to make it exciting and posibly bring an upset and Wlad is technically and tactically sound (and a fucking beast!), if a little boring but has enough vulnerability with his fragile chin and lack of gritty fighter's instinct when hurt that their could be drama.

As long as they make good bank and entertain the crowds who cares? handbags down ladies. Enjoy the show.

As far as I am concerned this is the Acid Test for Haye in the HW division.

However I wouldn't back a horse which is going to be running its last race and I cant back Haye he did what needed to be done to secure the fight and another payday.

IMO he should of fought another big heavy before stepping up to the Klitschkos, not Harrison but the money was there and the fans(sky) made it easy to happen.
Instead of gaining a bigger fan base in UK, because lets face it nobody else was interested, it actually backfired and a few blokes felt ripped of on the PPV.

I dont get this whole I am going to retire in 2-3 fights, its not like the guys are fighting even 6 times a year, does it really increase their pay packet.

Really eager to see this come off, and wont be disappointed if either fighter wins.

I just hope to god its not another deer in the headlights, like what happened to Ordinary.

I'll be rooting for Wlad which should be interesting after everybody's had a few beers.

Think I'll leave the betting out of it this time round, other than a couple of quid on a KO in the 8-9th round.
(good odds)
Lost too much betting on boxing when a brit gets involved.

Wlad is a legend has come across really well so far I am liking the guy more and more.

look man, i cant take anything seruiously you say about wlad because of your bias

i would hazzard a guess if you break down the numbers you would probably be wrong

and i would also say that if the fight were any other country than germany the split would be overwhelming in hayes favour
