    Britain or US for Mayweather v Hatton and why?

    Your opinion counts.

    Personally I think Ricky could fill a 85,000+ Wembley stadium to fight Mayweather and I see no reason for Floyd not to take the money especially as its £1 = $2.05 meaning huge cash for the man that likes to throw $100 bills at crowds in nightclubs.

    Thoughts?

    Should be in America, so Americans can buy tickets. I always wanted to see Calzaghe fight, but it sucks because he doesn't fight in America. I wanted to see him fight live, but I can't go to england or germany, denmark to see him fight.

      What about Britain so Europeans can buy tickets? Americans don't even come out for Floyd's fights.

        Don't be silly. No casual boxing fan in Britain knows Floyd Mayweather, only a handful of his fights have been on British TV and those were at 5 in the morning.

        Also, Ricky Hatton's fan base is around 30,000.

        Las Vegas is the mecca of boxing and this is a massive fight. So it'll happen there. I'm sure Ricky wants it to happen there as well, he hasn't fought at the MGM Grand yet and wouldn't want to give Yanks any excuses if he manages to pull this off!

            They know he's a big fighter.

            Also, Ricky Hatton's fan base is around 30,000.
            He could fill Wembley easily. Believe that. If not Wembley then Old Trafford. He's loved in Manchester.

            Las Vegas is the mecca of boxing and this is a massive fight. So it'll happen there. I'm sure Ricky wants it to happen there as well, he hasn't fought at the MGM Grand yet and wouldn't want to give Yanks any excuses if he manages to pull this off!
            He wants to fight in Britain and its the better financial deal.

                It should be in Britain. Hatton has more fans in Britain than Mayweather has in America, and this fight means more to the Brits than it does to Americans.

                    Floyd is going to box the ears of Ricky to the point of embarrassment , under those circumstances its not safe for Floyd to be in the middle of 80,000 sore losers after he does that , remember Hagler well he didnt beat an icon like Hatton and he didnt do it as one sided as Floyd will ,, should be in America .
