Comments Thread For: Arum: Third Fury-Wilder Fight Probably Will Be Held Outside Of U.S. & UK

Yep pretty sure Wilder no longer owns a passport. Never defended abroad and can't see him giving up home advantage now.

I doubt PBC would let Wilder leave America.

He would take double less in revenue to stay at home. When Mayweather stayed at home he WAS the PPV king. When he wasn't he was ready to come and fight Hamed in the UK. Wilder is the opposite of that, take less to fight less threat, take less thinking Fury is a pillowfisted puncher...Cherrypicking gone wrong

Bring it to Canada!!!! The west coast hasn't had a big fight since the 60s or 70s . U fortunately that won't happen as its not the right demographic it would end up somewhere in queued if it ended up in Canada

What demographic is west Canada?

Two unnamed countries.....

Ok, Saudi and who else ?

South Africa, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Saudi, UAE, to name a few

There's a huge British ex-pat presence in Australia. The virus situation is much more positive here (touch wood). Why not bring it to Sydney, sell out an arena and have that great Brit fan atmosphere?

Because neither Arum not Haymon would give a ***** about the British ex-pats or atmosphere. If Sydney wants it, it will have to outbid Qatar.

Outside of the US? Outside of the UK? Bad idea. Is the live gate actually the big piece of the pie in this?

I meant demographic in a sense there really isn't many boxing fans up here unfortunately. It sucks . The last big heavyweight fight we had was ali/Chuvalo 2 in 1972 . And that was more of a big name heavyweight , not a big fight per se . Its hard to find boxing ppv's in bars here unless it is a massive fight .

The fight will only meet the number in Saudi Arabia or any other middle east country that has the money to throw around post pandemic
