    How can you even type that kind of bull****? You Floyd nuthuggers are the worst at discrediting fighters.


    If Hatton managed to beat Mayweather (which I cant see happening) or even put on a rematch worthy performance then I could definently see Mayweather coming to the UK to fight him.

      If true, is that a bad thing?

        Notwithstanding that Naz never left the UK and still got spanked into retirement, please re-read what I wrote.


        What reason does he have to leave if all of the fights people want to see him in are right here?

          You can't beat the audience of 50,000+ at the gate though. And if PBF fought in Europe, do you think his PPV #s would be less than if he fought in the USA?

              i dont think too mny people in europe would appreciate his running tactics. People pay to watch a fight, not some american midget doing laps of a ring.

                Aww whats wrong did I hit a nerve? Least Naz went to the U.S you cant talk **** about that. My point is look at the state of boxing today.

                Isnt boxing something like the 7th most popular sport in your country? Obviously all these fights that are happening over there arent helping with its popularity. Plus it shows a lot of heart when a champion leaves their country to fight.

                  Like I said before PPV's generates money, not selling 50k cheap seats.

                  If PBF fought in Europe I'm pretty sure it will be less, I think PBF can sell good in UK but not the rest of Europe.

                    i doubt it, as of right now i think that the u.s. is the most glamorous country to fight in, it's the capital of boxing, if u will.. plus, this is where all the money is at, unless he gets a HUGE payday, he's not going anywhere

                      people would much rather see a top American fighter fight in America.
                      people would much rather see a top British fighter fight in Britain.

                      As long as they bring in the crowds, Calzaghe and Mayweather both can just stick to their hometowns.
                      but I would like both of them to go abroad.
