Kessler vs. Miranda heading to Montreal? Why?

[Pantera2000]

There were other reasons this might have happened.
BUT there is a conflict with NHL hockey that weekend, so Montreal is out of the picture. Venue is still being worked on.

That sucks. I was starting to plan a mini vacation up to Montreal and going to the fight.

Just a note, Ring recently called Montreal the second most important boxing city behind Las Vegas. My guess is we'll be seeing alot more big bouts in Montreal.

Or perhaps a postponement??

Sounds cool. Should the fight happen and you are going to see it, then please give us a report of the fight and the sights.

I am looking forward to this fight.

Kessler really is a great fighter.

According to reports in danish papers today, the venue might be Montreal. It seems certain that the fight wont take place in Florida where 'Pantera' hails from.

Does anybody know WHY Montreal is the front-runner for this fight? Is it because Lucien Bute will defend his title on the same card???

Why not the US??

Too bad it's not on FL, I would of bought my tickets first thing they go on sale

[Pantera2000]

I just heard that Montreal IS still the landing candidate for this fight. There is an outdoor stadium that might be used since the Bell Center is unavailable.

theres alot of places to hold this fight in montreal. but I just think they're waiting to see what happens to the Montreal Canadiens cuz they're in the playoffs and they get priority on the bell center arena.

they could still put the fight in Molson Stadium or Montreal Casino. a pavlik-kessler fight could easily fill the olympic stadium which can hold 70,000 for a boxing match.

With Bute on the same card against a good opponent, they could fill the Olympic stadium with 70,000 fans!
