    Possible Venues for a Haye/Klitschko fight?

    I highly doubt Haye or Klitschko would agree to having a possible fight at the O2 Arena in Germany or Wembley Stadium in England.

    Wouldn't it make more sense to have a such a big fight in the greater boxing market in America? Possibly at the MGM in Vegas.

    It would be about time a big heavyweight fight came back to LV though I would prefer Europe simply for the fight time.
    Can't see the Klits fighting outside Germany, definately not UK.

      Honestly I don't think the fight is gonna happen outside Europe. I heard something about

      O2 Arena
      Stamford Bridge
      The Den (Milwall FC venue)

      As an european, I would like to host the fight here. They are not american and I am tired of matches happening in Vegas or in AC. This match deserve the same amount of public of a FA Cup final.

        If they want to have the fight in Europe they could at least do themselves a favor by hosting it at Emirates Stadium, the most high tech, state of the art venue in all of England as long as they don't mess up the pitch.

          It has to be either in Germany or UK, it makes no sense for this fight to be in USA.

            I can't see the Klits fighting outside of Germany, and recent events like Haye supposedly eyeing a 50/50 purse mean that he likely won't take too kindly to fighting in the Klitshcko backyard.

              This is a stadium event. Putting this in MGM when americans dont even want to put Wladimir on TV would be a shame.

              I dislike Haye quite a bit, but Wembley is probably the best stadium for this.

                Commerzbank Arena in Frankfurt Germany




                a capacity of 51,500 spectators..... it is among the 10 largest football stadiums in Germany......its also a 5 minute train ride from the Frankfurt International Airport which would make it convenient for the LOYAL traveling Brits......and a 10 minute drive from the AFTER party I will throw if this fight comes to Frankfurt!!

                    I very much doubt the fight happening in the US. They got no real fanbase in the US and the time difference for both men and their fans would be too great.
