I'm realistic about the fight #1 I don't think it will be close and #2 Wlad won't get his due credit anyway #3 Wlad has no trouble bringing in fans to see his matches hell he got about 50k to watch him fight Eddie Chambers...and yet you're still saying that the WBA title holder has caused 60k fans to want to watch this fight.

HBO is back in because its a marketable fight despite it being held in Germany and therefore taking up time while they are usually showing movies on a Saturday night.....but I've posted that time and time again and despite the Klitschko's getting good ratings on tv in general the people refuse to believe this. Whatever, I'm not going to worry about it.

All I wanted is for Wlad to get a PROVEN foe....so far that hasn't happened. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be wrong and have this fight be a classic, but I don't see how its going to get there with this opponent. He's talked a big game, but will he back it up....will he even show up?
