Money, putting it in a stadium tickets dumb cheap maximizes profits in smaller venues with the prestige of hosting big fights

They better make this **** happen bro. But if not, I'll add the cost of that PPV to my budget for seats to GGG-Lemieux

This sounds pretty positive to me. Had been a little worried with how long this has been dragging out and how recently there were some reports about them not being able to settle on a venue, but Oscar sounds confident here. Man, this is going to be one awesome fight. Put it together with Golovkin/Lemieux and Klitschko/Fury, and that is going to be one hell of a stretch to end the year.
