    Where should Hatton v Pacquiao be held?

    If I'm not mistaken, these two fighters have the biggest public fanbase in the world so this is guaranteed to be a mega-fight. But where should it be held and who calls the shots?

    Just as a side-note Wembley Stadium in London, England, UK holds 90,000 people and Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland holds 76,000 people.

    If they went for a neutral venue the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City holds 115,000

    it doesn't matter.

    it'll be in vegas. the casinos will pay $$$$$$ to hold it. all the brit and filipino highrollers wil come to town for the fight.

    besides no matter what time it airs......brits and filipinos will watch it on tv.

    has to be in vegas. hbo and top rank and gbp will need it to be in vegas to affor paying those 2. they'll both be making $$$$$ from this one.

            yup its gonna be in vegas cause the Casinos will pay a grip and make it back in ******** like slots and black jack and **** like that.

            if say a place like staples center bids 5 million to host the fight mgm grand will put up 10 million..cause they know they will make the money back when people rent out the rooms and gamble thats why fights usually are empty before the main event people are ********.

              smh @ all the Americans coming on here saying it will be in Las Vegas.


              Hatton has already spoken on his next big fight after Mallinaggi being held in Wembley stadium, London, he even wanted the Floyd rematch there so how does that fit in with your views that it must be Vegas?

                  because casinos will front money.

                  how much would wembley pay to hold a fight?

                  casinos are what bumps up the $$$$$.

                  i remember the mirage coughed up like $20 million for the buster-holy fight.

                    But how popular would such a fight be in the US? People there aren't big Hatton fans and I'm sure they aren't going to be cheering for a Filipino, I can't see the fight selling in America.

                    How come Hatton would suggest he would try to get Floyd to fight in the UK if it didn't make sense financially? there must be some financial merit to fighting in the UK
