“Nothing’s in place from anyplace exterior the UK. We all know what it could actually generate within the UK, but when it goes elsewhere then that relies on what the numbers are. I do know lots of people complain about it and I agree it needs to be at Wembley, I’d like to see it there.
However Muhammad Ali and George Foreman went and fought in Zaire, you then had the the Thrilla in Manila, you had the large fights in Jamaica. They went the place the cash was and these guys will do the identical factor.”
