not in germany or the UK
the USA should be the venue , NY or Vegas , the brits and the jerries will still pay for the ppv and neither fighter will have home advantage
haye vs vitali or wladimir should be at a neutral venue

Re: haye vs vitali or wladimir should be at a neutral venue
Klit won't be on ppv in Germany as they have a tv deal. Also, I don't think putting a fight on between 2 Europeans at 3-5am makes much sense. I agree the fight being in either The UK or Germany would give someone an unfair advantage but I doubt it's going to a decision, just get a high profile ref in with them.boxerbob wrote:not in germany or the UK

Re: haye vs vitali or wladimir should be at a neutral venue
Why go neutral? If they are going to split the revenue, the venue that creates the most dough will no doubt make sense to both.
In a stadium, home advantage means very little. Klitschko has 3 (inc the IBO) titles to Hayes one and Kltischko generates the most revenue all round so regardless of what Haye thinks K2 will have the upper hand and rightly so. I'd rather take 40% of a german fight than 50% of a London fight. Haye V Harrison didn't even have a sponsor you may recall. Klitschko has loads and it all equates to revenue.
Still, Chisora might upset the whole process. He'll throw more than one pathetic pawing jab that's for sure.

This would sell out Wembley stadium IMO if they got the pricing right...
