    Eddie Hearn said they have 3 possible venues in mind : Manchester , London , and Notthingham. You can read the article on the scene.

    City Ground. Nottingham Forest FC. Holds 30,000. Possibly more for a boxing fight. Then there is Notts County's stadium which holds 20,000.

    I'm sure it will be held somewhere in Nottingham if they can hold 20.000 plus. That should be enough.

    I think about 20-25.000 will attend.

    They might fit 40,000 if they convert it for boxing.

    City Ground:

    If they could, I reckon it would sell 40,000 no problem.

    LOL, it's not that bad. It's quite a small stadium. It looks way worse on that pic. :D


    City of Manchester stadium can add 13,000 for boxing.

    So I can imagine 13,000 could be added to the City Ground. With many people on the pitch.

    Meadow Lane is the other option. 20,000 capacity and 5,000+ for boxing.

    The only indoor Arena in Nottingham is the Trent FM.
    Nowhere near the size of the 02,MEN or even the NEC in Birmingham,which is the next nearest.
