What Would Mayweather-Pacquaio Be Like In Wembly?

It would be huge! Especially if Ricky and Kahn fight on the undercard. The commentators ought to be Frank Bruno, Nigel Benn, and Naseem Hamed.

You're right, it's the good boxers - the names. Ultimately, Floyd Mayweather isn't a name over here and neither is Manny Pacquiao but most crucially they're not British. Most people barely know who Oscar De La Hoya is but Carl Froch could sell out a stadium in Nottingham. Now that is funny and sadly, probably true but again, I think that this is the 1 fight that could be the exception. Shoot, boxing isnt even nothing in the US but everyone is saying that this fight could possibly break the record. Add to that the "event" it would be and I think people would turn out just to turn out. I heard alot of the UK people said that half the people who were at Floyd's training session didnt even know who he or Roger were. I think that maybe would Floyd-Pac would be like. People would just show up because they know that its a mega event for alot of people who arent even in the US. However, you have convinced me though. I want it where someone would really appreciate it. That means either in Manilla or in the US. Vegas or Texas Stadium

Frank Bruno can sell out Wembley masturbating.

IDK if I buy that. I mean Hatton & Calzaghe make the people turn out in droves. You say they are the only 2 but guess what? Theyre pretty much the only 2 good ones. All the other guys pretty much lose against top comp. I think boxing may not be huge but good boxing is and these are 2 guys they know from the Hatton fights. Khan will be huge too. Its just the good boxers. You're right, it's the good boxers - the names. Ultimately, Floyd Mayweather isn't a name over here and neither is Manny Pacquiao but most crucially they're not British.

Boxing isn't big in the UK though that's the point, it's not a major sport, Cricket, Football (soccer) and Rugby Union/League are our sports. Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton are major sporting figures here and that's what sells. The only way I see it getting a significant crowd is the Filipinos turning up, there are about 150,000 filipinos in London apparently but again, it's Manny Pacquiao who sells not the fight itself. They'd watch him train in their thousands in the Phillipines. I must say though I never met a Phillipino in the UK in my life, but then I don't live in London. IDK if I buy that.

I agree with everything you said but I think you are severly underestimating this event. This would be the biggest fight in a million years. Everyone will be talking about it. If the US people hype it up then you know the UK will be behind it because boxing isnt even big in the US so this must be something major. Then you will have Floyd hyping it like only he could. I think they would come out, even if its not for the fight itself. I think the event will be so huge that people will want to be theyre. Almost like a concert or something. 90 is alot but its not as much as people are making it out to be. We get 90 in the US for alot of football games and even the average one's. Boxing is still a major sport in the UK and both of these guys beat Hatton. I could see this being the 1 fight that they would turn out for. I wouldnt guarantee it by any means but I could see it easily happening Boxing isn't big in the UK though that's the point, it's not a major sport, Cricket, Football (soccer) and Rugby Union/League are our sports. Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton are major sporting figures here and that's what sells. Im not really talking about UK people when it comes to Pac. They have a huge Filipion population. He had more people than Hatton in alot of the pre fight stuff over there The only way I see it getting a significant crowd is the Filipinos turning up, there are about 150,000 filipinos in London apparently but again, it's Manny Pacquiao who sells not the fight itself. They'd watch him train in their thousands in the Phillipines. I must say though I never met a Phillipino in the UK in my life, but then I don't live in London.

They would load the undercard with UK fighters and probably have big time musicians performing making it an event, not just a boxing card. Degale, Tyson Fury, Khan, and a few other prospects from the UK would most likely be on the card.

I'm not sure UK fans would really have a preference. They don't know Pac because he doesn't speak English, all they know is that he took out Hatton in 2. Some fans would back Mayweather but just like in the US he can generate hate too, he was entertaining in the build-up to the Hatton fight though and everyone likes an entertainer, that's why Hatton is so popular. People used to say it was because he was humble etc, it wasn't, it was because he was funny. Im not really talking about UK people when it comes to Pac. They have a huge Filipion population.

yes some people turned up, but do you realise what the capacity of Wembley is? it's 90,000. You're not going to get 90,000 people to watch two foreigners fight, you'd be lucky to get 20,000 to watch it. UK fans don't follow boxing, they follow UK fighters. Khan would pull a bigger crowd and he's not even that popular. Joe Calzaghe couldn't even sell out Millennium Stadium for his big clash with Kessler.

No doubt Pac has a ton of fans over there so I will never take that from him but I do kind of think that alot of the Hatton fans would root for Floyd in that fight since he has talked so highly of them and in alot of ways Floyd would be the underdog and I think they will root for that. Everyone is ripping on Floyd right now and theyre acting like Pac is the king and I think the Hatton fans would get behind him on that. I think Pac may have the bigger numbers but its alot closer now then it was in the past I'm not sure UK fans would really have a preference.

most uk fans would be rooting for pac correct... ..

Floyd is a PUSSY. This guy cannot even crack top 50. It will worsen if he beats Marquez. His resume is becoming a big time joke.

Did you see the way he was rushed today in London? Besides, I do kind of think that they would like to see him beat Pac and would root for him in that fight yes some people turned up, but do you realise what the capacity of Wembley is? it's 90,000.

i think it would sell out. i also dont think you can read too much into the turn out at the gym today, there was 2-300 people there, that aint that many really. it just seemed alot because the gym was so small. you think, if you worked/lived within 5miles of that gym and you heard floyd was gonna be there, you'd pop along. i love floyd and would love him to fight in the uk, i know it would probaly never happen but imagine a floyd vs pac with hatton vs bradley/khan on the undercard. insane also floyds signed a deal with sky sports so they're hyping him to the max.

It wouldn't sell out. UK people are interested in UK fighters, there aren't that many genuine boxing fans in the UK who would watch a fight between two foreigners. The only way it would sell out is if Ricky Hatton is fighting on the undercard against someone like Zab Judah. Did you see the way he was rushed today in London? Besides, I do kind of think that they would like to see him beat Pac and would root for him in that fight

yeah it would sell out! id say it would be awesome! and id be there
