    There's no way this could happen now. Anyone remember that UAE is nearly bankrupt now?? The bubble burst already in Abu Dhabi. 3, 4 years ago, maybe some sheik was willing to overpay to have his name attached to an event. Now, NFW.

    It should be in the US. I've heard Americans saying Haye isn't really on the radar over there.

    If he managed to beat a Klit in the US surely it would do a lot of good for the heavyweight division.

    Haye doesn't need anymore fans in the UK, Vitali doesn't need to sell himself more in Germany, neither need to go to ****ing Dubai. If they can get some Americans on board that's a huge market.

    Have it in Vegas.

    **** Hopkins! Are you serious?

    I agree it would be good having it in the states to get some American fans on board but Hopkins?!

    And 'you don't become a global sports figure without the states'? :patsch Americans barely even participate in the most popular sport in the world which has household names across the globe.

    Whereas the big 4 American sports are only really popular in the states. Whoever wins the superbowl may get called world champions by the American commentators but come on, get real, don't buy into that ****!

    They should do it where they will get a lot of people in the stands. London, or Germany.

    LOL! You're not doing ****, mate. KFC figured out they'd make big money by franchising a few Halal outlets, and that's exactly what they're doing. Nobody "let" them do anything. They let themselves get rich.

    The only fight I remember being there was when Eubank had a few fights in the middle east. From what I remember the atmosphere looked pretty ****, would much prefer the fight in the UK, hopefully at the O2 where I can always get tickets.

    The fight should be in the UK or Germany.

    America has practically dropped the HW division so why the **** should it be held there? It's not exactly easily accessable for fans of either fighter

    Wlad/Vitali & Haye in Europe with a 60,000+ stadium sold out would do well.

    Add to that it would do stronger in PPV terms in the UK (and Germany?) if it was on at a reasonable hour compared to a 4.30am start and it makes sense to hold it in Europe.
