I went to Canelo vs Smith in Dallas. Was a good venue but it will never happen there. Neither have a massive following in Texas as far as I'm aware an I can't see many making the trip from UK to Texas although you can fly cheap to Houston in September from Manchester.

Defo going to be Wembley. I don't understand wilder accepting a smaller split of the money if Aj accepts the same amount in the rematch. How is that different from a 50/50?

90k at Wembley?

80k in Cardiff under the safety of a roof?

20k in Vegas?

Madison Square Garden?

Personally I think they should have it in Gainesville which has a stadium that holds 90k & is only a 2 hour drive from Orlando so loads of British could come over.
Isn't there a football stadium in Texas that holds 100,000 people? Is it the Cowboys stadium?

Not that it'll be there, obviously. :lol:
It would never happen in Texas.
But I would love for it to be at Cowboys stadium. It's only 200 miles from the house and my wife's aunt lives about 10 miles from it.
A tank of gas and free room and board.
It would be perfect :lol:
You selfish bastard. It's not all about you, you know :lol:

It should be in Gainesville which is 2 hours from ME :D

They should do it on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier in the middle of the atlantic ocean.

The difference between UK and US. :lol:


I know it wouldn't be there, obviously. It was just the talk of large stadiums that made me think of it.

The French aircraft carrier - as elusive as the Dodo, the modest Eddie Hearn and a modern boxer without tattoos.

They have one more in service than us at the moment. A grande total of one!

We have two in the pipeline, one has been commissioned but won't be fully operational for a while and another under construction.

All in all, our Navy is shite and so is theirs.

Both are better than the Russian Navy, which makes them adequete enough from NATO's perspective.

My guess is cardiff late in the year under the roof.

I don't see how doing in the states would make the money. It would kill alot of the UK PPV if early hours in the morning.
Problem is the latest you can really do Cardiff is October due to Millennium Stadium being used by the WRFU (who own it) having their 3/4 match Autumn Series. After that it is too close to Christmas.
