    From

    Any ideas why? They said MSG is a possibility, but there's no chance of it happening in Vegas.

    What's wrong with Vegas? A neutral venue for a unification fight is excellent especially when it's such a prestigious one.

    I hope Wlad doesn't blow the fight because of that.

    if it were to be held in the US, it seems more like an MSG fight to me.

    Where does Wlad want to fight?

    He's banned for life from the MSG...

    Cowboy stadium?

    He's not a draw in the US.

    I would say VEGAS is the best place to do this.

    Why the **** does he not want to fight in Vegas???

    It being in Vegas just makes the fight even more bigtime, would be epic seeing Haye/Wlad fight at the MGM Grand.

    Why the U.S?

    Such a stupid move. It could do 80,000 in Germany and possibly in the UK.

    Haye's team apparently is trying to find a neutral venue.

    I guess Wlad wants no part of that...

    **** Waldo. I watched him fight live in MSG against Ibragimov and if he shows his ***** ass there again, he'll draw maybe 50 fans to the arena.

    And he won't fight in Vegas because he got his ass kicked by Lamon Brewster there after allegedly being "poisoned". :lol:

    What a ***** ass *****.

    Its neutral and like it or not its the best place for big fights, i'd much rather see it in Vegas or New York than in the UK/Germany and im in Scotland.

    Doesn't Wlad want to try once again to get American exposure?

    Why, though? IF it goes the distance, there's little doubt that Wlad will deserve the nod anyway.

    In Germany, it will be a clinch fest, with Wlad attempting to actualy fight as little as possible when he finds out how good Haye is at counterpunching and how fast his hands are.

    And in England or Germany the home fighter will have the advantage of the crowd.

    The same reason people complain about Ward fighting in Oakland despite how comprehensively he beats his opponents.
