    Yeah, it's not like the Klitschkos have ever fought out of Germany before

        I think the fight would happen where there's most money. I don't know if a Wlad - Haye fight would currently sell out Wembley? And generate the best possible gate and sponsor revenues?

        It would sell out any stadium in Germany that's for certain. Not sure if German ticket prices could be as high as the British though, but then again the British Pound has lost 25% of its value against the Euro during this financial crisis.

          I'm not saying they haven't but you really expect Wlad to defend his unified titles in England against an opponent that's been talking more trash then Floyd Mayweather on the new 24/7?

          I would love to see a completely quiet pro British crowd staring down at their hero down and knocked out on the floor as much as the next guy, but I wouldn't bet money on it happening.

            As long as he gets the bigger share of the money I'm sure Wlad will have no problem fighting Haye wherever.

              Wembley holds 90k now. With floor seats that they can build on the pitch, maybe 100k can fit.

              I'm telling you in the summer, England is damn nice. The sun stays up to near 10PM and it's about 25 celcius. Really beautiful.

              I'll go and see it for sure.

                  Wembley would be good, but at the same time I wouldn't mind seeing it happen on neutral ground. Besides, Haye hasn't fought Stateside yet.

                      Not recently, but he fought in the US like 7-8 years ago, at the beginning of his pro career.
