    1. Wembley (London, England)
    2. MEN Arena (Manchester, England)
    3. SAP Arena (Mannheim, Germany)
    4. Kolnarena (Cologne, Germany)
    5. Madison Square Garden (New York, NY)
    6. MGM Grand (Las Vegas, Nevada)
    7. Staples Center (Los Angeles, California)


    In all likelyhood these are perhaps some of the world's most famous boxing venues. Where would be the ideal setting for one of the most anticipated match-ups in Heavyweight boxing today?

    Should it be in Haye territory where the magnitude of the event should gaurantee a sellout with thousands of fans cheering for the young Londoner?
    Should it be in Klitschko territory where Wladimir is a staple and a proven success?
    What about Neutral territory?
    Madison Square? (I hope)
    Vegas the world's self made boxing capital?
    L.A. so the Hollywood crowd and come in full effect?

    Germany.

    If it's in the UK they will end up pandering to the needs of American television and the fight will go out at a stupid hour.

    You're missing the bigger picture:

    Lennon as special 'enforcer' at ringside.

    ha ha ha f*ck with the look of thunder he had on his face on Saturday that might actually work.

    I certainly wouldn't have liked to have been Samaras on saturday afternoon , lennon looked like he was seriously considering homocide !

    Even though I'd love it at MSG, that way I'd be able to attend, I'd prefer Wembley to make Haye's loss even more painful :)

    That is just mean spirited.

    I'd prefer a neutral crowd where the reactions won't be totally biased towards a certain fighter.

    I'd be very happy if its MSG.

    Vegas won't be bad either.
