Doesn't matter how many people in the UK may be interested. Haye has bigger fish to fry on a global scale and Harrison would be peanuts compared to what he can leverage fighting a klitschko brother. It's not even worth imagining what Haye does in the highly unlikely event he beats both brothers, but I should imagine he would want to get out of the game before he enters into a pointless and embarrassing 1 round swansong against a by-then fossilised never hasbeen who never even made European level. It would be a huge anomaly against his career to end like that.
Even if they knew it would somehow make more than that, Haye wants to fight the best and get out. He's only fighting Ruiz to keep the bargaining position of having the WBA title - but I don't think he even needs to be too worried about that, the Klits will fight him anyway as it's the only big money fight out there.
I dont dispute that Wlad and Vitali are far bigger fights, but who else is their that could get him huge PPV's without much risk?
Hollyfield, Chagaev, Tua, Peter, Toney, Chambers. Would any of these fights or anyone else you could mention gross more than A Force? Maybe Evander.
I'd love to see him fight Solis or Adamek, but I'd expect a much easier fight like Harrison inbetween Klit fights.
Their talking $120M fights. Why would he risk that payday to earn less money than he could against Harrison by fighting someone else in a more difficult fight.
There is no reason to enter a relatively even fight and jepordise such potential earning
