How big could a Klitchko v Solis fight, if it took place in Cuba?

    Imagine if a deal could be done with the Cuban Governmment bearing in mind the amount of income a fight of this kind could generate to the local economy. Solis would need a guarantee that he could leave the Country afterwards.

    But if that could be sorted it would be a mega event which could open up a whole new market for our sport

    Yeah, the Cuban government could use this as perfect propaganda how the capitalist USA turns good fit cuban athletes into fat bums.

    I name Solis simply because of his nationality and weight division.

    Is it about using the nationality over a fighter to open up a new market. You recall the first batch of Eastern Block fighters they were nothing like the current crop

    It'd actually be a really cool experiance, I think. Having a pro-card there with Solis, Gamboa, Rigondeaux etc.. I'd love to see it.

    Didn't Rigondeaux defect. If he fights back in Cuba, the only way we would see him is like this...

    yes let have a WBC World Title fight in a 3rd World country. Do they even have an arena worth a crap over there? Half of the country does not even have power for christ sakes!

    They are all defectors, if they went back they would all be jailed.

    Seeing as how Cuba has a smaller economy than Greater Miami, but with twice the population, this fight would not be huge because the live gate would be paltry.
