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.
