    Neutral = boring. Both Haye and Wlad have fought abroad before and - as long as money talks - will have no problem to fight the other guy in his home zone.

    Why show it in the US? They don't deserve it, they don't show either guys fights and neither is American. US & German atmosphere is ****. 80,000 at Wembley would be ****ing manic.

    It would be business-suicide to make this fight in the USA where neither is a big name.

    Wlad in Europe = sold out arena, even when there are 70.000 tickets (we saw that). Wouldn't matter whether he fights David Haye or Danny Betchelder.

    Haye in London, or England, would also sell big time.

    BTW, I'm sure Haye (just as well as Calzaghe) will suck up to the yanks and schedule the fight in the middle of the night so that a few thousands Americans can see the fight at prime time... of course, this happens a few days before the fight when the arena is already sold out and a high percentage of the (British) PPVs are already sold.

    Hopefully Germany.

    That way, the £££ will be sufficient so as the US TV networks will have to have it on when they are told, rather than us having to stay up until stupid o'clock to watch it live.

    Probably Wembley. If not Wembley, then whatever is the biggest stadium in Europe that they can find. I'm sure this would sell well over a hundred thousand seats.

    Why not in Italy? That way Wlad can compare Haye's face to a pizza immediately after the fight1
