Why is Floyd so terrified of fighting in England?

[hugh grant]

PBF coming to Engla nd for a 3 am fight. I dont think they fight at that time in england. But PBF dont need to come, but it would be a big occasion for him to fight at Wembley wouldnt it? A change of scenery for him and a change from his routine.
Noone is saying he has to, but why not consider it as an option? He knows hes got some fans here as well.

Team Hatton talk alot, apparently they are in talks with Joe Louis's corpse over a possible showdown at the new wembley.

They just gotta sort the money out


why are people so negative..lol

I havent seen de la hoya even talk about it, is there any evidence to suggest they even spoke about it?

Seriously, Hatton Vs Joe Louis at wembley on Oct, you heard it here first.

Don't take the piss. The Hatton interview where he says it is all over this place and the newspapers.

Bigger and better fighters than Floyd have all come over to fight. Ali, Hagler, Tyson, SRR, Winky, MAB to name but a few. Some of these guys have been back several times. Hell, even DLH is expressing an eagerness to come here, as did RJJ recently.

What's wrong with Floyd, is he terrified of flying or something?

Boxing is a world sport and it's biggest stars who've gleaned so much money from the sport and it's fans should be morally obligated to act as ambassadors. Is this reluctance partly responsible for the declining appeal of the sport?

My post isn't strictly limited to the UK either. Where are the modern day Rumble in the Jungles, Thrilla in Manillas or Tyson v Douglas's?

Floyds not scared to fight in England, he just thinks its pointless, and he is right.
Why would he go fight Hatton in England when Hattons last 3 fights were an attempt to get him popular with fans from the United States.
Hatton wants to fight in the US, and Floyd does too, so theres no issue.

Exactly HATTON says, Hatton says lots of things,

Like

"Id love to fight Junior Witter"

and

"I want floyd next" that was back in 2005 or summin lol.

What did De La Hoya say?, does he even know hatton said that? cos if you think he's gonna come down to 147 and the UK to fight Hatton,

I'd adivise you to lay off the fray bentos pies.

you keep on mentioning Frey bentos..ok..fair play but... its seems do have done Hatton pretty damn good..maybe you should try some..

There was no "point" to Ali fighting in Zaire or at Wembley against Cooper. He did it because he wanted to be part of a special occasion and to give something back.

You don't think that fighting in front of 90k in the first fight at the new Wembley Stadium would live with Floyd forever?

Google it and read for yourself.

Dude are u dumb?! Its ***in England where every english man wants to sux on hatton ****! The'll give hatton the win even if he loses all the rounds to PBF?! U.S.A is the best place to box. 85% of the times the fight is judge well.

DUHHH...AMERICA IS GUD PLACE TO BOX COS 8 TIME OUT OF TEN THE JUDGE MAKE CORRECT DECISION. THAT IS WHY AMERICA IS BEST

USA USA USA USA

Theres no point for Floyd to go fight in Hattons backyard where Hattons clinching and rough tactics have been allowed in previous fights by referre's, e****ially considering that Hatton just fought 3 fights in the USA to make himself popular to United States fans.
The fight should be fought in Vegas, it just makes sense.
