Does anyone care at all when the NFL comes over there and plays a game in the Wembley Arena?

Wembley Stadium, not Arena. Different venues. The Arena is mostly for music events, although they have boxing there. The Stadium would only be used for humungous bouts such as maybe Hatton v. Pacman or Haye v. Wlad. I think the last fight there (at the old stadium) was Bruno v. Oliver McCall(?)
Not personally, but there is a very big NFL fan-base here as a residue from the (more-or-less) failed attempt to launch the sport big-time in Europe. The NFL will try again at some point; the risks are high but the potential rewards huge - but now isn't the time. It's very hard to launch a 'new' sport on a long-term basis, even a very good one.. they are very culturally ingrained.Comment
