    Bradley -v- Khan: Where Should It Take Place?

    Khan, Will beat Bradley very easily in my opinion, But its strange that despite being an American, Bradley has never fought in Las Vegas or at a venue like Madison Square, Khan has already headlined in both places.

    I dont think that Bradley-Khan will be in the UK because HBO will want the fight to be in the US, So Where would you like to see a potential fight between them?

    Where is the UK option?
    USA can't get 1000 people to see Bradley if he comes to the UK he will see 20,000

    Boxing in the USA is more for nostalgic value then to enjoy large crowds....I hope this fight comes to the UK

        Brits are coming on line dreaming that they will get to host this fight, Honestly why would this fight take place in the UK? Just because the gate would be slightly higher but HBO would offer alot less money, Added to that the UK is notorious for the worst stoppages in boxing.

        Keep dreaming, A fight of this magnitude will never be in the UK it should and will be in the US where it will get the media attention and fitting venue it deserves, Having Khan and Bradley in a unification fight in some English backwater is insulting not just to these two great champions but to the sport and spirit of boxing.

          **** off you silly **** you yanks can hardly fill a venue out so who is showing more disrespect? Khan vs Bradley would be better in uk put it at 2am so the yanks can view it at a reasonable time.

          And slightley higher?? There would be 21,000 thats a hell of a lot more then the yanks would do hahaha

          The ref and Judges can be neutral so no probs there.

            Let me see, Where would Khan rather fight MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Or MEN Manchester, LOL! A fight of this magnitude should be in the US, Having this fight in the UK is like having Ali - Foreman in Manchester, It will never get the exposure the fight deserves if it is in the UK.

            Simply put there is much more class in fighting in the US than in the UK, Thats why every British fighter who makes it big deserts the Uk and goes to the US.

              It should be on more of a nuetral ground like AC.


              And no,, khan will not be able to kayo bradley. Bradley wins a UD. Bradley is not that easy to hit if he does not want to.

                Khan would rather fight Bradley in Manchester where he is from. How is it like having Ali - Foreman??? Neither are english so dont get what you mean.

                The yanks dont fill the stadiums anymore, america aint what it used to be for boxing get used to it.

                  Reebok Stadium, Bolton, England.

                  In Khan's hometown football stadium. For an undisputed/lineal unification bout, Khan-Bradley could do 25,000-30,000

                    (Bradley has no drawing power yet, so it doesn't matter where he fights.)

                    There's no chance of this fight happening in England, sorry to all my British friends. Amir is fighting in the UK next to give you guys a fight back home, but he will definitely return to America for the Bradley bout. HBO calls the shots when it comes to fights of this size, and don't forget that Amirs goal is to try to build himself into PPV material in America. That means figthing big fights here often.

                    If I had to guess, I'd say the fight's going to the MGM Grand in Vegas.
