Where should Joshua vs Klitschko 2 take place?

[MDPopescu]

Yeah from what I heard the atmosphere at Wembley ******.....

... I guess it was the greatest boxing show atmosphere ever...

[Poppo168]

The atmosphere for that fight in the uk was spectacular. If there is interest there again I see no reason to move it

I was in the stadium man, it was a decent atmosphere but the stadium was about 40% full until the ring walks etc. went down, could've been louder. Eddie and AJ want to build them up globally so he may aswell start fighting in other locations as Eddie has stated they want to do.

They want to break the US market & Asia, Africa, South America etc. May as well start now.

Veltins Germany or I suppose Wales but the accessibility is a pig London is much better but going with the UK weather I guess Wales is a more than appropriate location, Veltins would be better though, not only a roof that retracts but also a pitch too. The Germans are superior to the Brits when t comes to stadia well pretty much everything, transport etc

It is true, but some of the greatest atmosphere's in history have been carried out in stadiums, looks at football fans when they get loud (soccer) to see how loud it can get.

A venue win a closed roof feels like it could explode though when people are getting loud so a huge fight between top guys especially in the UK would be great, the O2 is always loud.

Football fans are different! The majority of football fans attending a big soccer match are die hard fanatical fans! (It does not matter where these fans are situated within the crowd? they will be 100% immersed in this event! The same cannot be said for individuals who attend these outdoor boxing events in this modern era of boxing!).

This latest trend of outdoor boxing events attracts? Bored football fans/some Sheeple, who are pretending most likely to be weekend millionaires! (In my opinion the most hardcore boxing fans, don't really go to boxing events due to the type of individuals that will be in attendance!)...

The atmosphere at Wembley in my opinion was not as electrifying as David Haye vs Toney Bellew! individuals who's perceptions are not easily swayed or manipulated by the mainstream media would be very aware of this!

(The Anthony Joshua vs Wladimir Kiltschko rematch needs to be held at the Millennium stadium Cardiff with the roof closed! It would be a great achievement if a 40-50,000 indoor arena could be built to specifically hold boxing events! or showcase other sports which adapt better to indoor environments!)...

This arena is impressive...

Calm down dude I was agreeing with you haha, my only differing point is open roofed stadiums can be just as loud under the right circumstances.

I was surrounded by casuals during the AJ/Wlad fight & none of them sounded like they knew anything about boxing. I don't know about Cardiff though, don't see what the point would be fighting there other than a closed roof venue.

I think you wanna keep it in the same spot or some other big stadium in the UK (idk the stadium situation in the UK so maybe there is nothing viable for boxing or for the weather in November I got no clue).

Klitschko is still largely dead to American fans despite this last performance. And while you could certainly expect loads of UK fans to fly to Vegas to watch the fight I don't see the reasoning for doing so when there won't be much if any upside since no one gives a f#ck about Klitschko in the US & he's probably as or less popular than Wilder here I'd guess. So I think you save Joshua's American debut for Wilder or some other high level American mandatory that could pop up at very least.

And I realllllllllly don't see the point of putting this fight on at some random, non-big fight boxing location, on the globe unless it makes A LOT OF SENSE money-wise & they are being wayyyyy overpaid on what they'll make elsewhere, which it may or may not.

You're right about people in the U.S. not really caring much about Klitschko since his reign.

But peep this, when Klitschko fought Jennings at Madison Square Garden it was an almost sold out crowd. If they were able to get an almost sell out crowd for that fight. A fight that no one was clamoring for. Then you know for sure Joshua vs. Klitschko 2 will definitely sell out Madison Square Garden.


If it is Joshua vs Klitschko 2 they should definitely have it over here in the U.S.

They need to bring Joshua over here already and familiarize him more with the U.S. audience.


Though I think their 2nd fight will be in the UK again, I'm cool with that too. Though I wouldn't mind and would like to see Joshua make his U.S. debut. It's time for AJ to come out to the U.S.
Hopefully if not Josh-Klit 2, then hopefully as soon as 2018.

They're going to talk about the USA and Dubai and blah blah blah but it will be in England again IMO.

But Chris Mannix was making a strong case that theyre going to do it in the USA last week on his podcast. Said Joshua would take maybe some shorter money to have a huge superstar event.

I just think they money will pull them back to the UK.

[LacedUp]

Yes it did suck compared to a indoor arena full of passionate fans! because the noise dissipates into the open air! This is basic physics.

Yeah no it didn't

I was being sarcastic!
