Outside of idiotic forum posters, the winner of this fight will get HUGE praise. I'll credit Wlad for the win even if a twerp like you that loves him wont.
I'm not so sure about that Fenster, I don't disagree that Haye promotes himself well, but besides what he'll make off the fight with Wlad, what fights has he made big bucks off of? Barrett, Ruiz, Valuev?
For what it's worth, Haye would get mega praise if he managed to defeat Wlad, but I really doubt that Wlad would get nearly as much praise, since he's expected to win, and the former cruiserweight Haye isn't really thought by some to be a worthy challenge for Wlad.

I also see Haye's fans jumping off the bandwaggon as soon as he loses.
Haye made a reported $10 million+ for the Valuev fight. Around the same again for the Audley fight. He is a huge PPV seller in the UK.

Nobody barring Oscar, Floyd, Hatton and Pac is close to those numbers in the past few years.
