Floyd isn't going to england to make what he makes here. I'm thinking it has to be wembly or a huge arena. Is there anyone but Khan that can fill either?

Pac can swing it in an afternoon fight because there's a 12 hour difference and he can get away with it fighting at 12.
Not so much for Floyd though. Night time in the UK is like afternoon time here.... and nobody is going to pay for a tape delay

The name 'Floyd Mayweather' will sell out Wembley arena , it doesnt matter who he fights really.
There are 90,000 official seats - then the potential of anotherl 5 to 8 thousand seats around the ring add to that the PPV buyers in Ireland/UK/US.
Floyd could fight at Midnight, i believe thats 7pm Eastern in the states. He could get away with that for the US viewers.
He would make the most money in his career EVER.

I could definitely see Mayweather Vs Khan being the fight made in the UK if Mayweather does fight over here. Would be the biggest money spinner.
Khan has a decent fan base, Mayweather has a lot of fans here and Khan seems to have a lot of haters here also..so people would go the fight hoping to see Mayweather beat him.
Although i don't think Khan deserves the Mayweather at present, the fight would sure generate alot of interest / money.

Brook would be the more interesting fight...perhaps packing-out one of the two decent-sized football stadiums in Sheffield.
But the smart money has to be on Khan at either Wembley or Old Trafford...both bigger capacity joints and a fight against a more marketable opponent who now looks worryingly vulnerable.
I don't think Mayweather is as tied to the Las Vegas casinos as some people think. Big football stadiums fights deliver equally big bucks....due to the sheer number of people prepared to come and watch the boxing....and the kind of huge theatre and drama Floyd relishes.
