Meanwhile, Steve Kim talked to Bob Arum and it's said that the fight is looking forward this December 26 in Japan once again. So it seems like American money is once again beaten by the Japanese sponsors in trying to bring this undisputed fight to Inoue's home. But at least things are clearer now that this fight will happen. But it's not too late yet for ESPN and its partners to bid more money in order to bring this fight to America.
This venue's a bit of a snoozer, right? Hehe, sorry for being blunt. I think this whole thing should go down on neutral ground. I mean, we're talking about two champions here, it's an undisputed fight, so there shouldn't be any home court advantage. Bringing it over to the US would be a win for boxing – big money's up for grabs there. Not only will the arena be packed, but their PPV subscriptions would shoot through the roof. Let's hope they see the potential in that.
This is quite sensational fight and of course with fight that brings together two world champion fighters it can generate interest for everyone to come to the arena to watch it live whether in the US or in Japan all the same there will be huge flow of money from even from sales tickets to enter the arena will definitely be filled long before the match actually takes place.
But it true that if the fight takes place in Japan then Inoue will be given more significant advantage but it doesn't seem fair to Tapales if uses Japan for the next fight.
