Exactly - the pressure there’d be to hold it here would be enormous. It would be close to having England in the World Cup final. I genuinely can’t think of another sporting parallel.
Let’s hope you are right and it is. I sadly think in the maximising revenue era it will go to the highest bidder. And that is in Saudi where there is no COVID. Not in the UK. Even if 100K attendance was possible it’s a stretch. How likely is that? I just want to see the fight ASAP. No mandatories or tune ups. ASAP in whatever location.
Everything hinges now on how much undisputed matters to this fight. Joshua obviously has to fight Pulev (IBF mando) next and then Usyk (WBO mando). Team Usyk have categorically stated that they will not step aside to allow undisputed to happen.
Saudi is the best choice for this covid era. The absence of a live gate can be offset by Muhammad bin Salman giving 100 of his billionaire cousins the option of paying 1 million a ticket or spending the rest of their lives locked up in a 6* suite at the Ritz.
Eddie and the board are very close. Whyte's drug test was hidden by the board. UKAD will fix up Fury with some false charges. The fight should be in Vegas. The entertainment capital of the world.
