As its a fight that I will go to I would like it to take place in the US.. Gives me an excuse to go for a holiday :boxing:
Eddie Hearn:
"We have had so many offers this week - Nigeria, Dubai, America, and also we have the opportunity of Cardiff here in the UK. Financially, Cardiff's not the best choice, but also at the same time, if it's not broke don't fix it, and we have that mentality with 'AJ' moving forward."
Edit:
IBF have said the fight must happen before December 2nd...this may put Cardiff out the equation as Principality Stadium is only available in December.
Not necessarily. Hearn said the following last month:

Hoping it happens over at MSG myself.
In his latest interview from this week he says Cardiff is available in December but he doesnt want to push too close to the end of the year. I think it will happen in November... If it happens at all.. Vlad talking like he wants to retire in his latest statement.

Wales' rugby union team will play at the Principality Stadium for most Saturdays in November and December, but 28 October could be a potential date.

I feel it should be in the UK.
I had some good days out at Cardiff for the footy when the stadium was the stand in for Wembley, while the new Wembley was being built. So, i'll go with there :boxing:
It does more money in the UK, how many booze addled soccer fans are up at 5am if it's in Vegas. The target audience is he UK soccer fan and they're extorted expertly to the point it does more money than anywhere else.
You still acting like a cry baby weiland....get over it your man had his head removed from his shoulders....move on wet wipe
The atmosphere for teh first figh twas second to none, I have never been to a boxing event like it so anywhere outside of the UK would be stupid.
From what I'm hearing, the UK is the likeliest although bigger money offers have come in from elsehwere. Cardiff is perfect for the winter because teh roof can come in and the place can warm up.

LOL what? AJ is the presumed HW champion of the world right? Target audience is any boxing fan anywhere. It will be in Vegas..
It'll be UK or Germany. Other places make no sense if they want to maximise profit.
Germany is not an option..

It did just fine in the UK, they'll probably do it there again.
If it's in the US I'll have to give some serious consideration to attending. After Thurman-Garcia I'm picking which fight I attend next more carefully.

USA would be cool but where would the money come from? They got £15m each last time
If its in the US.. it will most likely be on PPV on showtime and HBO and also PPV in the UK so they could make a lot.
The first one was one of the best heavyweight title fights in a long time.. Easy to sell a rematch for it.
The UK is where it's at right now if the fight involves at least one UK fighter. At some point it would be good to see him go to other countries though.
Definitely not Nigeria or Dubai lmao that's just asking for trouble. No disrespect to those countries but lets see them actually put on some notable boxing events first.
