No it couldn't.

That's the only way it works. No one in the states knows or cares about Horn. Appeal to the AU fans.

I'd definitely go watch that fight if it came here. Dudes at Dundee's gym here in Bris are pretty confident Horn will get that fight, i'm not so sure though. I figured he'd fight Vargas or Bradley first

Who??????????????????????????

There are very very few of those

Football codes

Virtually every other sport played

Only way this fight lands in Brisbane is if the state government chips in cash and I cant see why they would do that

Horn or Crawford with demands of 20 million guarantee. Another reason to laugh at Pac-turds

What a PATHETIC choice of an opponent!

How is the UFC doing huge events down there? Not challenging you, just asking why they'd do so well but a major boxing star can't.

Peak Rousey was the headliner, it wasnt held in football season and UFC is growing rapidly

April is in the rugby league season, Brisbane is a league town and most casual Australian boxing fans last memory of Manny is his snoozefest with Floyd

Dont get me wrong, I'd love to see it here as I live reasonably close by but filling a 40k+ venue against a guy that is virtually unknown in his own home town would be a big ask

I agree with the suggestion made on another thread where someone suggested that it be held in the Philippines.

They probably dont have a stadium big enough to hold the fans that would want to go to a Manny fight there but good luck to Horn winning a decision in that environment
