Pacquiao-Hatton Fight Site Dispute, Could Oscar Step in?

[gopi11]

Pacman and Ricky have had all their big fights in England and America.. why not the Phillippines?

Or something exotic like rumble in the junglr, like the Massacre in Madagascar or the Slugfest in Somalia

How about "The Timber will Fall in Timbuktu"? Or the "Big ****ers in ****ladesh"?

Well everyone in boxing seen Ricky's wrestling matches in England.

Noone would ever go to fight him there unless he is really desperate.

Pacman v Hatton

I would much rather see Pac-Man fight Marquez again, then Ricky Hatton. But the money fight is Hatton and the most challenging fight being Marquez. Manny has become a sharpshooter, who can offset Hatton's aggression with pin-point punches. Hatton tends to swell and get cut in fights; Manny will probably cut him up. Hatton will put up a good fight, but I don't see him beating Manny.

Ricky Hatton is undoubtedly the biggest draw in the sport of boxing. Over 50,000 fans packed the City of Manchester Stadium this past May to see him battle Juan Lazcano. In December 2007, approximately 30,000 traveled from England to Las Vegas to cheer him on against Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

Please! Of course he can draw that many people in a football stadium. So could De La Hoya (prior to the Pac fight) if he wanted to hold it in one. Pacquiao could probably get 150,000 if he fought in Manilla and they made the prices affordable enough.

The fight should be made in England, but not because Ricky is the draw but because thats where I think they would make the most money. If Arum is willing to take less of a cut just to get the fighters the same amount then I'm all for it. Plus, I kind of feel bad for Manny having to travel from the Philippines to England, but I'm sure he'd be fine.

At first I felt the fight should be in Vegas since it is a neutral site but now that I think about it, it would be better to be held at Wembley. That would truly be a spectacle.......

[mrlopez]

What a horrible option to have Ricky vs De La Puta, sounds to me like Ray is scared.....and its really unfortunate because i like the hitman but his dad is actin foolish.....

[PHX PLAYMAKER]

The most money would be made if the fight was in Vegas, Arum said it himself. You can't compare 1 million ppv buys and a sold out MGM with a full stadium in England while the fight airs live at about noon pacific time.

the referees let ricky's wrestling tactics slide there like they did against kostya. Hatton is going to try the same thing on pacquiao.

[VERDUGO]

They should do this in Vegas..neutral for both fighters.
