Joshua v Klitschko in Vegas?

[Kirkland Laing]

Vegas and HBO combined might just generate as much as a full Wembley but I really doubt it. But they'd want it at four am UK time so that fucks up the biggest revenue stream, UK TV. I can't see either of them taking so much less money to make the fight. I think if it happens it's Wembley again or a big German stadium and on at UK prime time.

Those Stadium fights don't make as much as people think. With such a huge venue you have to drop prices. For example Joshua vs Klitschko did 7m gate. Floyd had 11 higher gates including 72m being his highest gate. None in a stadium. If Calzaghe vs Hopkins can do a gate of 11.67in Vegas I assume Joshua vs Klitschko could do more than 7m.

That Calzaghe-Hopkins gate must be suspect. All the top 30 reported gates feature Oscar, Floyd, Pac, Tyson and Holyfield - with those two virtual no-marks (in relation) wedged in. The AJ-Klit gate has to be converted from £-to-$. I've also seen it reported at £8-9-10 million.

Vegas is certainly where the dough is though if you're a big enough attraction. That's why Canelo-Golovkin went there instead of 80,000 at the baseball/AF stadium (Dodgers? Jerry Roth? Something like that)

Can't do Wembley in the winter. What happened to Nigeria? Sure Wlad was well up for that

Vegas is a wise move and the logical one, AJ is now a brand as well as a fighter so he needs to crack the US market.

I don't care where they fight..... I'd like to see the rematch, now that Klitschko suddenly rediscovered his balls after all these years.
Vegas would be great for the U.S. exposure.
It would be huge.

The mere talk of this in the grand ol USA should have Wilder rethinking his agents career path. Would be awesome in Vegas and love to see the rematch!

[Mark TKO]

I've been looking for an excuse to return to Vegas - this just might be it.....

I think that hits the nail on the head. If he beats Wlad again he can put on stadium shows back home in Britain but the opportunity to fight in Vegas and showcase in front of the American market is something he might not get the chance to do again unless Wilder gets his act together.
