Comments Thread For: Hopkins-Kovalev: Barclays Drops Out From The Race

A source with knowledge of the details has advised BoxingScene.com that Barclays Center in Brooklyn is no longer in the running as a possible venue to host the light heavyweight unification between Bernard Hopkins and Sergey Kovalev.

While the venue initially expressed interest in securing the fight, the executives at the location have apparently removed Barclays from contention because of a "Live Nation concert" being staged at the venue on November 1.

Thats quickly becoming Kovalevs turf as well although I wish they would bring this to the prudential center in Newark.

Why doesnt Philly ever host big fights?? Wouldnt Hopkins wanna fight at the Wells Fargo Center?

Idk, Im guessing The casinos i imagine attract more people, pay more than in Philly. Probably makes more financial sense.
