    I wouldn't do anything on hearns terms if I was him nor do I expect him to
    I think Hearn will have to take a back seat to Arum on this one. The fight will probably be negotiated by Barry Hearn and Barney Francis from Sky on AJ’s side. Hearn is ostensibly just the front man.

      It should be in England but it will go where the best money is.

        I smell Vegas or even Dubai

        But yeah it should be here in london

        Agreed on all points except the bold. Quite clearly the fight needs to be closer to the geographical center of the UK to allow most people the opportunity for easy travel. Given it also needs to be at a major venue with a history of hosting major boxing events there is only one real option of course - the O2 in Manchester... No bias. Just sayin.

          I feel this fight deserves a HUGE attendance but I'm not 100% sure what stadiums are going to look like this time next year. Ideally you'd think Wembley would be to go-to to pack in a huge crowd. The Saudis are throwing money around but how many UK fans (or how many did travel for Joshua v Ruiz 2) do they expect to travel to Saudi Arabia let alone people still feeling a way of traveling there. Without each's fansbase really there physically at the fight I feel it would be some what of a disservice.

            Manchester is easier for me to travel to so I'm down for that

                It needs to be at Wembley, for me, ideally

                In recent times, we saw how everyone sat up and took notice of Froch-Groves II, this would be 10 times the magnitude of that, the country would stand still for the day. It just won't be the same if it happens outside the UK

                  Also , I can’t believe that there are British fans agreeing that this fight should be anywhere but the UK

                  Of course Gypsy-Fraud dont want to engage UKAD, the headlines will inform the British public of unsettling facts. It be a PR nightmare and drown the hype. Its bad enough over here in America having to listen to Tyson's pathetic and bogus stories of mental-health struggles.

                  Boohoo! I'm a survivor, I never did drugs or swindle the poor farmer in order to continue my campaign of robbing tittles all the way to the top of this pile of crap we call the HW division!

                    It's a history making fight. I'd rather it be all English.

                      I’m pretty sure they know already what’s up
                      What blows my mind is the fans who say yes take it else where
                      Probably the biggest fight in the their history
                      They will be waiting a long time before another fight of this magnitude
