    How would we (the god amongst men ESB collective) feel about this?

    Makes no sense to me...The money for the fighters is pretty much their Turki flat fee....has Fury still got some leverage to get the American market involved with this PPV wise?

    Seems to me like that ship sailed after Fury Wilder 3. Does Bob Arum still somehow have his fingers in Fury's pockets? seems like it.

    I'd have even more reason to be jealous of new york.

    Really though just make the fight, who cares where it happens?

    Maybe that's where Turki wants it then.

    I agree is should not be in the US. Have the bout at Stonehenge, middle of January, pouring rain.

    Perfect end chapter to a decade-long circus that has had so many bumps in the road that it's almost destined to be complete dog**** by this point. If it happens in New York, then that's the final poetic cherry on the cake. I just can't wait until it's out of the way and they can turn the life support machine off. Hrgovic vs Itauma is a much better fight at this point.

    I couldn't care less about Joshua vs Fury and the final money grab; they're both completely shot to bits. Even my friends who are casual boxing fans in the UK aren't interested at this point, and they won't stay up until 4am for it. Tyson "I'll fight for free" Fury and Anthony "let's give the British fans what they want" Joshua at the MSG at 4am, it's what everyone involved actually deserves.

    As an Englishman, I have no issue with sending these used-up, used car salesmen to MSG to provide a circus.

    Based on their last outings the Brentwood leisure centre would be way too good for these two.

    Realistically should be in the UK as we are the only country who truly gives a **** anymore about these two past-prime heavyweights but I’d much rather have the fight at MSG than no fight at all.

    Ultimately there’s no belts on the line, just ego and pride, so if it’s at MSG, then it’s at MSG.

    For anyone invested in storylines, it’s at least a full circle moment for Fury to graduate from fighting Steve Cunningham at the Theater to fighting at the real deal, and a chance for AJ to avenge his Andy Ruiz demons.

    Or the Royal Pub in Scunthorpe.

    While other locations make more sense, I really don't care. I just want to see the fight happen.

    The fight should be in London, UK.

    It makes no sense to have it in New York.

    I'm not sure I'd watch it for free outside a Kebab shop at 3am on a Sunday morning in Dundee city centre. Lost interst in this one big time.

    There's a difference between where something should happen, and where the people actually putting up the money for it, want it to happen.

    I'm sure they've ran the numbers and they would make more in New York than anywhere in the UK.

    It's not a new phenomenon in Boxing. You think Ali and and Frazier had any ties to the Philippines?

    Don't pretend, you will be watching it live. If you were not interested in this fight you wouldn't be writing paragraph after paragraph about it.
