Hatton-Cotto "could very well pack 50,000 into Yankees Stadium"

[borikua]

They could sell out the MSG, and do better PPV numbers that the Judah fight...I would leave the Yankees Stadium for the winner against Oscar next year.

Yankee Stadium wouldn't be anywhere close to being full. There would be maybe 10-15 thousand brits and maybe 5000 interested Americans. Boxing doesn't carry the attraction it used to when people would travel hundreds of miles to watch fights, especially not in the United States.

Your way off here. MSG was packed with 21,000+ people. Cotto can draw at least 15k people in NYC. Hatton can draw 10k-15k. I think 30k is a fairly conservative number. Which is a pretty damn good gate.

I however would predict something between 35-40k.

yea i think that last number is about right.

i would say 30k from puerto rico and uk combined.

And definetly 5-10k from the states. People would go just because its a fight in Yankee stadium to be honest.

Wherever it would happen, it would be a good fight.

Any fight outdoors would be awesome. Yankee stadium would be cool, but I didn't know it could hold 50,000 people. Would they take the black off the black seats for the fight you think?

[Verstyle]

It would indeed be more then 50,000 in there

Myself and several of my friends would be willing to travel from central Illinois for that fight, if it were promoted correctly it could do close to 50,000 but promotion is key.
