    Of cause i'd take my cousins! haha. If i had Hattons money, i'd buy a flight for everyone. One for all my uncles/aunts/cousins/ grandparents...friends... everyone in my pub. We got extended families in England too you know! Mexican/Latin families don't have a monopoly on large families!

    As for the question about hooligans and scrapping at fight. If they held it in England, they're would be no problems at all. Todays British police force i would say is the best at crowd control and preventing trouble. Through years of extended practice (every saturday afternoon for 40 years) they've got the whole issue down to a perfect art. My experience as a lad who goes away with his team is, that the coppers are always one step ahead of you. Especially if your up north, and they don't **** around.

    If English fans want to riot, then they'll riot. But i definately don't think it'd happen AT the fight. Besides... there wouldn't be hardly any yank PBF supporters to chase! He won't bring too many over.

      I think in NY or Vegas or London, and America do boxing a favor and put it on CBS, NBC, or FOX

        I think the US is the default option for this fight seeing as Ricky wants the American dream and Mayweather isn't keen on travelling to the UK where he would face an extremely hostile crowd.

        London wouldn't be a bad choice if it made more money, but I honestly think staging in Vegas makes potentially as much as a wembley sell out, otherwise more big money fights would be made in the UK.

          Ticket sales are only a small part of the money that a casino gets from the fight, in order to afford the site fee.

                mayweather is the p4p champ right now
                why should he have to go to another country to fight?
                especially since his title will probably be on the line
                ricky should man up and come to the usa
                he he fought castillo and urango out here, then he should have no problem fightin floyd out in the us
                especially since he supposedly wants to fight floyd so bad

                  You do know that P4P isn't anything more than a bunch of opinions?

                    The fight should be at MSG.

                    You yank morons crappin on about brits storming the ring are full of ****. Doesnt matter where in the world the fight is there is going to be a brit crowd.


                    Watching coverage of The Open last week with a brit crowd. USAs very own Bob Bubka said british crowds are most knowledgable, polite and best behaved in the world where as in USA there is a growing culture of rowdy drunken Americans behaving like animals.

                    Fact is Yanks dont want the fight in btitain because none of them have a passport.
