    MSG would be my choice if it could be staged a little earlier than normal fights in the US. I think it is important to have this fight at a time where the casual european fan will still watch it.

    Only one town is big enough for this fight: VEGAS!

    Not in Manchester - the so called fans leave the stadium as soon as their boy looses a round.

    Olympic Stadium Berlin

    And I can't believe that Max Schmeling Halle isn't even an option.

    I think it should be somewhere neutral where no one fighter has the home advantage to level the playing field a little why not travel to some of the far reaches like Ali did.

    I'm not for one minute suggesting this fight will be anything like as big as Ali's Rumble or Thriller but why not take the "glamour" division somewhere less glamourous so as to allow boxing to be more accessible to everyone.

    Boxing is moving out of the mainstream and its money making machines like las vegas that is spoiling it for what us diehards call "casual fans"

    Maybe boxing needs more casual fans

    For sure not in the US, that much is obvious. Ideally it would be a stadium, a neutral venue where you can get the crowd to fill the stadium. Well that's pretty hard achieve so, filling a stadium is only possible in Germany or maybe Britain so there goes the neutral venue.

    Rome! That way Wlad can compare Haye's face to a pizza immediately after the fight.
