    Hasn't Wladimir always had the desire of fighting at Stamford Bridge? That's where he wanted it last time, right?

    If Wlad is as eager as he says he is to fight Haye, and is confident in his ability to KO him... then why doesn't he just take the fight at any venue?

    I don't get it... this is a stupid road block.

    Wladimir is an absolute coward. I don't know how you can deny this, these are not the actions of a world champion.

    Wlad is Wladding, just like he did against IDC. The fight won't happen.

    What about Haye? Does Haye not want England or Germany?
    And if not, why?? That's what we should be asking, not
    why Wladimir won't agree to Vegas.

    Vegas easily seems like the best venue as well...

    What with it being neutral territory and all.

    Plus it suits this type of mega fight just perfectly.

    Why is Vegas the best venue?

    Neither fighter is from Vegas, or even America.
    Is the live gate going to sell as well in Vegas as it would in either London or Germany? HIGHLY unlikely.
    Where would they put that many people in Vegas? The only place I can think of that would even come
    close is, Boyd Stadium, and that only holds 37,000.

    Don't get me wrong, I would PREFER Vegas, so I could attend the fight.
    I just don't see how Vegas is the best venue.

    Vegas is the best neutral venue. It's funny because people lap up whatever Klitschko says, any time he mentions how much he wants the fight but then you get these little bits of information which go against that.

    We know there are two realistic venues. Madison Square Garden or a Vegas casino. MSG won't go near a Klitschko event again and he's ruled out Vegas, so that's America no longer in the running.

    A neutral venue would be most appropriate.

    hes probably not, just that vegas generates the big bucks.

    the question is why someone is refusing to fight anywhere. if its as easy as wlad and his fans think it is, it shouldnt matter where it is

    Because it would be neutral venue with lots of money making potential.

    Seems like a stupid move to make such roadblocks in negotiations, that has failed before.

    Then again if it’s held in Europe, I can go to watch it, so I would actually prefer it to take place in London.



    But what a shitload of **** if this thing ruins the negotiations

    How does Vegas generate the "big bucks".

    You've got the live gate ticket sales, and TV rights.
    How does staging the fight in Vegas up those numbers compared to England or Germany?
