    I don't think there is any benefit to doing it in Vegas aside from it being "neutral" but this fight isn't going the distance anyhow so judging and refs shouldn't matter.

    Any extra money they would get from HBO would be lost at the gate. Haye-Klitschko would only sell about 12K tickets in the US compared to 50K plus in Germany.

    Haye talks a big game about selling tickets but he has never proven he can bring in a crowd in the UK like Klitschko does in Dooshbagland.

      Yup but I am hearing in terms of finance numbers, the best bet will be Wembley which will get around 80k people in

      they are also getting a number from vegas who are offering big money for the fight

      my bet is on it happening in vegas, I am certain the fight will be confirmed later this week or next week

          nah man trust me, everyone in britian wants this fight, haye in his last 2 fights has done good crowds, you need to remember that the prices of tickets in germany is far less than in the uk, hence the normal people can see the klits fight which is why they do well

          wembley stadium would be great, the gate generated would be out of the world but I think klits want the homefield advantage as does haye, so vegas looks likely

            Thats maybe true, but those 12k tickets would generate more money for the 2 fighters. For those 12k tickets, they could charge alot of money, for the 50k stadium, they cant charge ridiclous amounts for tickets. Look at the mayweather fights, 16k at MGM but still generates huge amounts of money

              The fight would sell out Wembley stadium infront of 90 odd thousand.

              Ever since the Valuev fight, Haye is a household name. That is partly due to him going on every chat show there is when he has time off!

                Nobody is gonna pay Mayweather ticket prices for Haye-Klitschko.

                Klitschko is only moderately popular in the US and Haye is a complete nobody.

                I will be happy to make a bet with you on the fight but only if you are willing to put up every last point that you have, I will put up all of mine against yours.

                60 mill vs 40 mill give or take.

                I will also put about $5000 cash on Wlad if this fight is ever made. It's one of the easiest paydays a gambler could ever hope for.

                  1) Haye won't even be able to secure Wembley, it's a pipe dream.

                  2) There is no basis for believing Haye can sell 90K tickets when he has never sold even 25% of that number.

                    Yeah, id be happy with that.
                    Out of the 3, Id say they rank:
                    1. MGM
                    2. Wembley
                    3. Germany

                    in terms of gate money.

                      Like I said, nobody in the US knows who Haye is and very few know Klitschko.

                      They would be lucky to sell out Haye-Klitschko even at Khan-Maidana ticket prices.
