    Bring the fight to Montreal
    They would get 15000 to 20000 at the Bell Center
    Many casuals here know Bivol

      It's a great fight, it would do ok, but nothing special. With English fans, the more casual ones anyway, never mind Fury and AJ, they'd much rather watch Chisora, Warrington, Whyte, people like that. They have big fanbases here, those two guys don't really have any outside of the hardcore boxing fans, such as the Great Nash. Nash out.

        Putting on that fight anywhere outside of Russia would be akin to McDonalds offering Filet Mignon. It just does not make sense.

        The only exceptions would be a BIG site fee from somewhere in the Middle East, or Vegas.

        UK would possibly make sense, but right now you don't have too many Russians, or any at all going to the UK.

          Bivol just beat the P4P cash cow of boxing and Beterbiev is coming with a lot of momentum and just got another belt. This would be for all the titles and both guys are more recognizable.

            That's not going to happen in the current climate. Maybe Germany? I would think like Pascal that Beterbiev could do something in Toronto if it was undisputed. Outside of BSing around, the fight should be the Co-main on AJ/Usyk.

              Yeah didn't all the sanctioning bodies basically say they won't sanction any fights in Russia?

                This. Nothing will be more SOUL than watching two Russian light heavyweights fight for undisputed in some ****heap Soviet-era auditorium somewhere in central Russia.

                  Maybe the 02 or the MEN but co-maining big British fight.

                  Would need popular fighters. Joe Cordina will start to sell really well now, Lawrence Okolie, Josh Warrington.

                  Ah I've got it. Taylor vs Catterall co main in Manchester. It sells the arena.

                  Whether those two would be happy sharing the pot? I doubt it.

                  I think you can be foreign and build a career here but you can't just rock up unless you are Canelo. Other than that? Probably Wilder. Heavys will always be popular

                    no chance lol. People don't understand that fans are also linked to football fans. The same football fans just come along for the fun to see their local or someone they like the fight. UK fans are NOT going to fill a stadium, especially East Europeans.
