Oscar said that HBO was very interested in making John-Jaurez II happean. I would love to see it, as I though this was a very entertaining fight. Not to mention they do need to settle the score.
This isn't a Vegas fight, even though the first fight was very good and second would probably be as well unless it's on an undercard of a big fight.
Really the best place for the fight to take place is Houston, although to get John to go back there you will have to give him an Indonesian judge, and a very large pay check.

I think Indonesia would be a good place for the fight as long as either HBO or Showtime airs the fight, with a neutral referee and neutral judges, John fought in Juarez' hometown, maybe Juarez should fight in John's.

Yea but I think HBO would rather just throw John the cash that it would take to do a fight in Indonesia, not to deal with the logistics and time difference. Indonesia is a big country though, so they mgiht be able to offer a lot of money to get Jaurez to fight over there. We would not see it though, atleast live.
If the fight is going to be in the US Houston seems to make the most sence (Rocky sells in Houston), although I guess they could go someplace else in Texas. Off hand I do not know cities that have very large Indonesian populations in the US, but they could go that route also.
Give John 1 Indonesian judge, a neutral ref (Smoger or whoever) and give him a very large paycheck for his trouble. he took short money to fight Jaurez the first time, he should be rewarded for taking that risk (1 million or close to it should do the trick). It would have to be a main event to justify that expense, but it was a damn good fight the first go around so it should get a nice ammount of viewers.

I'm sure it'd do well financially in Indonesia and I think they would probably be able to offer Juarez good money to go over there, John's supposed to be a hero in Indonesia similar to what Pacquiao is in the Philippines. Maybe HBO can do a tape delay thing or they could stage the fight Sunday morning in Indonesia to air live on Saturday night in the States.
I think if it happens in Texas again, all judges should be neutral, I've never liked the idea of having one judge from one fighter's hometown and another from his opponent's hometown, just make sure they're all neutral. I definitely agree John deserves a bigger paycheck though, although I doubt he'll get a $1 million for the fight, he'd be lucky to get 500k IMO.

1 million ... i dont know if he's that popular . . . i also really dont think boxing layman's would be remotely interested.
