    Depends how much oil money the Saudis can find down the back of the sofa.

    It has to be in the UK surely.

    If not, all UK fans should boycott every single ppv after.

    AJ, Fury and Hearn will regret not making this fight in the UK but the situation means it's not possible though, half capacity stadium at best and willing to take millions of pay cuts....sorry doesn't work.

    I don’t think it’ll be in Saudi if the date is June. The weather will be unbearable even the locals struggle. They a,so have an outdoors workers laws that prohibits employers from allowing employees to work in conditions above 50 I think.

    I don’t see the fight happening before the end of the year if they choose Saudi so Fury will probably have an interim fight before that. Otherwise I see the UK as being the front runner for June/July

    They can always have the rematch there.

    Packed house or not, they still make more money putting it on elsewhere.

    Forget the promoters, do you think Fury or AJ want to leave 10s of millions on the table?

    How is the UK doing with vaccinations? They could open it only to the vaccinated public as many public places are likely to do in the US.

    Absolutely not. I shouldn't just single out the promoters you are right. They are prize fighters.

    It won't be in the UK.
    It never was going to be in the UK, even before the lockdowns.

    It makes no difference to me. I want to see it on television, so it makes no difference where it is.

    What network do yall think this will be aired on? ESPN or Dazn or both? I really hope this fight is signed and announced soon this fight is huge for boxing. I'm rooting for Fury and picking him too but this fight is a lot closer than the odds would make it seem.

    1/3ish of the population have had their first jab now. Boris decided to not follow what they was saying with a couple of weeks between jabs and prolong the time between - meaning more people could have a small vaccine faster. Turned out to be a master stroke and other countries are following. Numbers of infections and deaths are decreasing rapidly and on course for whole country to be fully dosed up August.

    This is what I am trying to say about them not signing any contract, we should be out of any kind of restrictions June and whole country Vaccinated August, makes so much more sense to wait and see. They could easily do something July and have it billed as the opening of Britain. It would do crazy numbers on PPV people going round each others on the ****, bars showing it and would no doubt sell Wembley straight away.
