Heavyweight Boxing - Which will be the "bigger" fight: Klitschko vs Povetkin or Haye vs Fury?

In terms of revenue/popularity

BQ: Predictions for both fights?

Revenue: Klitschko vs Povetkin- $23m purse bid

Popularity: Klitschko vs Povetkin- the true champion vs number 1 contender

Haye vs Fury prediction: Haye KO 8

Klitschko vs Povetkin prediction: Klitschko TKO 11

The Klitschko-Povetkin fight won in a purse bid of $23 Million by Povetkin manager Vladimir Hyrunov would be a sure huge hit in Russia where it will beheld this October and Klitschko's adopted Germany while the 10 Million British Pound ( roughly $40 Million ) pursed Fury-Haye bout would be a smash in UK this late September or early October. I think both fights would be followed avidly in the USA and elsewhere.

in terms of purse, it's easy to see that the Haye-Fury is richer with each fighter standing to receive 5 Million British Pounds each, per reports.

In terms of revenue, I think Klitschko-Povetkin will earn more at the gates while Haye-Fury will make a killing at the PPV.

I think both fights are equal in popularity although the K-Povetkin fight would be for the heavyweight championships while the haye-Fury would be an eliminator.

I think Klitshko beats Povetkin by decision while Haye beats Fury by late round stoppage.

Of course the former, Klitschko is the Marqee name in the HW division. I think Klitschko wins it, but it could be a competitive fight, both are olympic gold medalists, povetkin is undefeated and is powerful, a strength he can use against klitschko. Fury beats Haye, David has no major power and is not all that crafty to withstand a powerfully effective boxer.

the klitscho vs povetkin is a much bigger fight with the real champ vs his no1 contender but if i'm honest i would much rather see haye vs fury , i can't imagine anyone picking povetkin to win and i think the fight will be predictable and quite boring while the haye vs fury fight should be a better fight .

haye is the big favourite but fury could cause haye problems with his size and reach . the haye vs fury fight will be a competitve fight and it will tell us alot about both fighters ,can haye do better with fury than he did vs wlad ,can fury take haye punch we will see .

prediction ...wladimir in 7

....................haye in 4

Klitscho vs Povetkin why? They're both WBA champions. I think Povetkin can pull an upset here.

Klitschko by late KO is the consensus.

imo fury sucks but hes big as **** and lack of skill dont matter to him

none of the above
