    Punching someone in the face is prohibited under most legal jurisdictions :?

    How about you go out in the street and punch someone in the face now and see how you get on...

    NO. I am very happy that some Americans cared what we did in Germany during the Nazi terror regime and stopped it.
    If there are violations of human rights we have to care.

    Sounds terrible, right up there with hosting the world cup in South Africa. Haye must be up to something... :think

    Not so much actually, a pretty sizeable chunk is sitting on Citi Bank's books after they flogged them a shed load of convertible bonds (magic beans to you and I!)

    more money for Vegas fight.

    20,000 people would be paying a hell of a lot more per ticket than the 60,000 stooges in Germany.

    It has to happen in the UK or Germany, anywhere else would be ridiculous. Quite frankly I think it will be a fairer fight in Germany, I don't think there has been a badly officiated Klitschko fight- whereas the Haye Ruiz fight had question marks with the refereeing

    That's why I'd love to see Haye take on Hopkins. Winning that fight would make him a big name in the States. Face it, you don't become a global sports figure without North America. Most of Lewis's big fights were in the US, were they not?

    If it's held in Wembley you could probably fit 95,000-100,000 into the Arena(Considering it does 90,000 for football/soccer). Then you're left in a situation where those in the casino would have to be paying 5 times as much per ticket to generate the same revenue.

    I reckon they could probably get away with selling the ringside tickets in Wembley for a fortune aswell(far beyond what you'd normally pay for stadium fights), which could mean you'd be looking at £200/$300 for the nosebleed seats in a casino to compensate. Now to me that's a situation where it seems more economically viable to hold it in a stadium.........unless a casino is willing to pay crazy money in order to bring in high rollers.

    Hopkins really? He wouldn't stand a snowballs chance in hell! :scaredas:
    There are quite a few other Americans who stand a much better chance against Haye, and some I even favour over him. Hopkins, no way!

    Yeah and my point is why have a fight in a country that is so strict on petty things.

    We in the UK don't stop Muslims building Mosques and practicing their religion, we're even making KFC Halal meat only. So I find it a bit ridiculous when they decide to throw Brits in Jail for kissing.

    I'm pretty sure that that's a private business making a business decision rather than something 'we' are doing...
