Thats called putting asses in seat, somthing Mayweather will never accomplish!

A top venue in the so-called Mecca of boxing holds 16k... thats like the size of a stadium of a first division team over here...

You would think a fight as big as this would be held at a much bigger venue, Hatton could maybe get 15k fans to travel across the pond on his own.

Yeah its a joke that the yanks continously **** on about how such and such should come to America to prove themselves but they haven't got anywhere decent to stage the fights.

Obviously you've got bigger arenas but you don't use them for events like this which is a travesty.

hatton/mayweather could easily do as many tickets as calzaghe/kessler if they had the brains to hold the fight in the uk.

surely, bigger crowds = bigger cash

[MJ406]

Arena's aren't big in the US ... stadiums are

the smallest baseball stadium can hold 37 thousand

but would boxing ever do that? probably not, cuz it isn't big enough.

Hatton says he'll fight in England again.

[SkillspayBills]

40,000 applications for a venue that only holds 16,000.

My goodness this should have been held at a baseball stadium.
