    I'd like to see an exotic location fight like Don King put on in the 70's, Rumble in the Jungle style.

    What about going to Joshua's ancestral land of Nigeria.

    The Chaos in Laos.

    Very difficult to post most "legit" sources on this forum. Or hadn't you worked that out yet.

    Oh, sorry, 2016, I see you are a relative newbe. My apologies.

    True Wilder/Stiverne 1 only had an attendance of 8,463 with tickets being given away and the MGM Grand has a capacity of 16,800 so Wilder can barely half fill it. But UK fans would easily take the rest, 25K fans traveled with Hatton to Vegas and Joshua is even more popular than Hatton. Joshua could likely fill the MGM Grand himself.

    The real problem would be the PPV. Having the fight in the US would guarantee the UK PPV takes a big hit and that's where most of the revenue is coming from so unless they charge $10K for tickets like Mayweather/McGregor or it draws PPV in the US then there's no way the fight happens on US soil.

    You can simply post a link. That generally satisfies mod's requirements. No need to be a bratty 8yo...

    To be fair who would be a legit source, only people in on said negotiation meetings are Hearn and Wilder's people. So either it's coming from Hearn or Finkel. can either side be regarded as impartial? Obviously not. Therefore there are no legit sources if we regard both of them as invalid.

    He isn't making it up I have heard Hearn say the same thing about going to the states actually. Promoters are paid by vegas to bring the big fights there which is why Hearn mentioned going there possibly.

    You can either Google it. Or pretend it never happened.

    Same choice for anyone else.

    Or isn't being willfully ignorant. Anyone following this possible fight should already know this, unless of course they are just a casual fan, lol.

    Whether you choose to believe what Hearn says or not is your choice.

    Provided you aren't too ignorant to know what he said, of course.
