Where should Hatton v Pacquiao be held?

[Left Hook Tua]

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

you've obviously haven't seen manny's ppv. there's a lot of filipinos in america. plus they don't even have to fly there they'll just drive from california. manny has a lot of filipino and mexican fans plus a lot of brits will fly over from britain.

after the manny-marquez fight the casino that held it already signed up for manny's next fight without the fight being a done deal yet.

the money is not in the tickets you sell and how many. the money is in how much the casino will pay to hold it because it bumps up their revenue not from the tickets but from the ******** profits for those who come in for the fight.

stop being stingey! you guys already had hatton fight there!

I wanna see this action packed fight live! and if they hold the fight in Las Vegas or America the tickets will sell faster then hot cakes.

You just wanna watch the fight live...let others who enjoy boxing watch live like the american and canadian fans.

Atlantic City?? Macau i hear is the ******** capital of the world and rakes in double or triple what vegas does in a year

90 000 people mean nothing if people are paying $100 to get in.It has to be in Vegas where some pay thousands

[MakeDamnSure]

Manny's fanbase mostly are in California especially in LA.. There are more than 2-3 million Filipinos living in LA that's why they travel to Las vegas to watch Manny's fights..

Las Vegas is still the best option and Joe Cortez being the referee.

i understand that. It doesn't explain why Hatton wants the fight in the UK

not funny

and that's why fights are held in atlantic city.

that's why they wanted to hold a fight in macau between valero-pacquiao.

guys it's not an american thing. it's a money thing. name the top grossing fights of recent memory.......where were they held?

i know filipinos would like it in philippines and brits would love it in wembley but money talks. why else would guys like hatton , wlad , manny , etc. who can draw incredible in their homeland (germany for wlad even though his ukrainian) still go to vegas to fight?

probably araneta coloseum. not sure about capacity but it's the biggest in philippines. you're missing the point though. the money is not in how much tickets you sell.


i understand that. It doesn't explain why Hatton wants the fight in the UK

has ricky stated he will only fight in the u.k.? i'm sure he has no problems fighting in vegas. i don't think the deal will go through if it's in england. arum has a deal set with mandalay bay for manny fights. i know his last fight and this fight coming up is there.

not funny

who do you want as referee? big john mccarthy? :-)

2-3 million that figure is too high. i think there's only 2-3 million in the entire u.s.
