there is another reason this fight is likely to take place in the u.k, craig mcewan is fighting on the under card, and he a has been promised by gbp thatt he will finally be getting a home fight rather then in the u.s, were his last 19 fights have been....
Wonder how much the London Excel can take?
If he does it in Bolton Stadium, that will be ****ed up.
Too damn cold
if its like last winter it got to about-10 or below, instead of puddles of water in corner that need mopped up there would be patches of ice ffs!
It'll be at Bolton arena.
Whilst it is better than Detroit which made no sense, Khan can do better than a 6-7k capacity arena, in England. The O2 in London or the M.E.N both do around 25k and he usually near fills out the M.E.N
I doubt I'd get a ticket for the Bolton venue, but if it's at the M.E.N I'm going.
This fight won't be at the 02 or Manchester, both are booked the evening Khan's fight is scheduled.
It will happen in America, or in a indoor arena in England, probably Bolton or London Docklands.
Im pretty sure that the docklands was demolished lol . M.E.N, O2 and the Birmingam arena are all booked out. And the Bolton Arena only holds 5000. I dont get where theyl put it if it is in the UK.
I just can't shake the feeling that this will be a disappointing fight. I hope that it is a thriller, but Khan would not take it at this point if he and Roach were not pretty confident that they have a solid plan to deal with Maidana. Khan is more skilled than Maidana, anyway, so I think it is going to be Khan dominating pretty easily and Maidana slowly getting busted up as he takes more and more risks as the fight wears on trying to land a big bomb on Khan to equalize things. I think it is a Khan KO or Khan on points, depending on Maidana's heart and chin on the night. So while it will be a significant fight for the division, as Bradley and Alexander will have to take Khan very seriously afterwards, as fights go I don't think that it will be a thriller, it will just underline the talent gap between Maidana and Khan. I have nothing against Maidana, but if he were going to make his move in the division he would have done it by now. Khan has too much for him across the board.

I will.
I hope it's in the O2 in London, but I will go to see it anywhere in the UK.
Maidana is exciting if flawed and I am a Khan fan.
u british will support khan like hatton?Yall travel the world.
Main reason Khan wants this one in the UK is because HBO offered more money for it to be in the USA.
By making a deal for less HBO money it allows him to make a sh*ttier offer to Maidana and raises the chances that Maidana will turn the fight down for financial reasons.
Not sure if the stadium is in doors or not but December is a hell of a lot colder than now.
If it is gonna be late for HBO, then **** that too. It will most likely be 3 degree celcius or freezing.
It wont be at an out door arena, its most likely to be at the o2 arena or the m.e.n arena both indoor.
People who dont like Khan for the GQ magazines quotes (about fighting faded fighters) should forget about that now because time and time again he's said that he wants the best.
hes been saying he wants to fight the best for some time now, its acctually doing it thats missing. until i see him in the ring with the likes of bradley or alexander its all media manipulation to me.
Would khan be able to fill up a stadium,Like mitchell?I like how they
fight at stadiums.
He can fill the M.E.N Arena at 23,000 capacity so Khan would fill up Bolton stadium no probs...
hmmmm the only other choice in Bolton is the Bolton Arena then? That seems to be a bit small for a fight like this.... I also doub't it's gonna be in Bolton. It should be in the U.S.
Fck it,Bring it to the u.s:boxing:
The problem is that the Reebok stadium is beeing used on that date so thats out of the question, unless the game can be moved about which I doubt. Im not convinced its gonna be in Bolton tbh.
that you Amir?

Khan by rather clear UD, unless Maidana manages to catch him, but I think Khan fights too smart for this under Roach.
Either way, an Ortiz-fight would be exciting and Bradley would be too much for him, I believe.
What venue will it be? Reebook stadium or Bolton Arena or? Bolton arena seems a bit small for this fight and idk if it's possible to have a boxing fight in an outdoor soccer arena in december in England.
