Britain or US for Mayweather v Hatton and why?

[Hydro]

Whereever both sides can agree on, and that is most likely Vegas.

Vegas probably gets more money anyway. Sure Wembley has a higher capacity, but Vegas tickets are very expensive, and casinos can afford ridiculous site fees. The live gate is only part of the money they pull in.

HBO would be more likely to want it in Vegas than the UK.

It should be in the USA and will be, because Floyd isn't as silly as Tszyu.
Why would you want to fight at 2am in the Morning?
Fight against a hometown advantage?
The list goes on and on. Plus if it's in Vegas and if Floyd feels like walking home after the fight he can.

What are you guys talking about. The promoters will have this fight where it makes the most money and that is in Las Vegas plain and simple.

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 .

As crazy as this sounds this is probably true.

You're kidding. The US of course. No way Mayweather, the headliner, would fight in Britain for the kind of money they would offer......

[TheEvilSaint]

pfft, you really think floyd would ever venture overseas?

dream on.

[eazy_mas]

If all the money is in the UK, why is Hatton fighting in the US?

because to have more publicity

And dont get out alive lol ,, thats the thing Mayweather would be hated by fight time with the **** he will spray Hatton with during the buildup , he will have them Brits frenzied to kill him after he slaughters Ricky , they prolly storm the ring by the 6th round .

that is the problem is the security thing. For God's sake in a football staduim and the guy is like 100m away they throw some bottle and sometimes there was some crowd riot what would you think if it in a boxing staduim against someone who is very loved and it abit enclosed.

[THe TRiNiTY]

Doesn't matter. Let them fight, and keep it ALL THE WAY live, and I could give a **** ass.

Mayweather would never cross the pond. With Hatton fighting here to gain more popularity I don't think he cares too much if the fight happens here, either. I would rather see it in Britain, though. I think it would sell more there with Ricky being as big as he is....and boxing needs more international affairs. Maybe they could hype up the America vs. Britain thing in the media and get some good coverage on this one, too. Just like the Rumble in the Jungle we need boxers fighting in other venues than Vegas or America in general. Remind everyone the sport is truly a global event in a way no other sport can really boast.

I think the fight should be staged in Auckland. Somewhere neutral.
