    You're not going to have an "Open-Workout" there though are you?

    Common sense dude..

      So why couldn't Ben_London make it into the gym?

      There should have plenty room if he isn't big.

        he will be lucky to get 20,000 in the uk
        Floyd/Hatton outsold Manny/Hatton in the UK.

        Mayweather is going to stomp Manny's ass.

          I was a little suprised at how much Sky Sports promoted Floyd this week. It is good to see Boxing get more coverage over here other than Hatton or Khan on Sky Sports.

          I think the Mayweather v Marquez will easily do 20k buys. Amir Khan against ***en and Mayweather is probaly more liked over here now than Khan is.

            Yeah, because hatton lost some nuthiggers losing to Floyd and the Country was in the middle of the worst recession in 75 years.

            Floyd and Pac had literally nothing to do with UK sales figures, hatton repeated use of teh term P4P #1 sold all the PPV.

              I hope this fight isnt on PPV over here with the way Sky seem to be hugging Mayweather's nuts.

                Buncy does more for british boxing by himself than Frank Warren, the BBBC, the ABA, BBC and Sky sports put together!

                well maybe not Sky, sky do a great job of covering the British title level boxers.

                example: Bradley Saunders beats a world class opponent and nothing is reported, some dweb throws a bag of Coke into his garden and it's front page news.

                  I think it will be on PPV. they will try sell the Matthew Hatton fight also with it been on the under-card.

                    It is. It's Box Office mate

                    Anyway, people seem to be taking to Floyd over here

                    My mates who are only casually interested in boxing at best all like him and followed all the stuff Sky Sports News were showing

                      whether or not the passing interest Floyd seems to be amassing will translate intp PPV sales remains to be seen however
