how bout fight in Haiti??? when was the last time there was a fight in Haiti. it could be in an outdoor arena.....with $$$ going to help clean-up effort from 2011 earthquake
Considering that Don King has been resurrected, somehow, where would be better than Las Vegas? King holds the weaker portion of the heavyweight title, by Far. Im sure he would fight for every bit of leverage he can get. He'd be giving up that leverage if they fought outside the U.S., especially if the fight took place in Europe.
.
There is the possibility that Wladimir would realize that he's the draw and doesn't have to listen to King or anyone else. He could very well decide that he wants the fight in Europe, where he has a huge following. Americans tend to have a difficult time accepting that there is a heavyweight champion who doesn't have to consider the U.S. as his base of operation. It's no secret that Vitali never liked or trusted King.
.
Some would argue that Wladimir's following in the U.S. isn't strong. However, it will likely come down to which would make the promoters and fighters more money. In Europe, Wladimir can fight a relative unknown and still pack a crowd. In the U.S., the same unknown would pack at least a marginal crowd because some just want to see a changing of the guard. Wladimir, being himself, would bring the rest.
.
Doing the math, I think the fight should take place in Las Vegas.
MSG would be good...
The last time Wlad fought there (or in the US) was that pathetic, borefest of a fight against Ibragimov where they just slapped eachothers wrists for twelve rounds. Maybe he can make it up to everyone by having a good fight w/ Stiverne.
If not MSG, somewhere in Miami would be good. The Haitan crowd would show up and Miami is a party city in general, so I'm sure it'd generate interest.
The fight will happen here in the US, that's why I'm not considering anywhere else.
Macao China or Germany.
In Ukraine they will count every bodyslam Wladamir does as a knock down.
In the USA the judges will only see the punches Stivern throws.
Madison Square Garden!!!
He is applying for citizenship in USA, it's been a long time since there was a Heavyweight Title Fight at MSG, it would be a big draw, tons of money, Klitschko would love to fight there as he lives in Amerrica with his fiancé as well as he's a liver of boxing history & would be a great thing for him to fight there.
In Canada
You are one funny coon, boy. Like it matters where they fight. Even if they fight in Stiverne's living room Wladimir will beat him for 12 rounds. Get a grip dear coloured folk.
I agree
Where should that fight take place?
