    What Would Mayweather-Pacquaio Be Like In Wembly?

    1- Would it sell out or atleast come close?

    2- Would Floyd have a good share of fans cheering for him?

    3- Americans, would you be more excited about the fight or less excited since its not in the US?

    4- Would the fight be as huge to the US as it wouldve been if it was in Vegas?




    Also talk about what other thoughts or questions you have. Me personaly, Id rather it be in the US. Vegas is the #1 spot for big fights but I wouldnt mind seeing it at the new Cowboys or Yankees stadium. That fight would be awesome in Dallas on those 2 big screens that they showed to the world today. We know the fight will do numbers but I think this fight needs to be held somewhere that a ton of people can come to just to add to the excitment and make it a mega event. However, you dont want to make it too big to turn it into a circus. There is a fine balance to find and maybe that is Wembley?

    The new Cowboys stadium would be INSANE.

    They have the biggest HD video screen in the world which took 2 years to build.

    HD NUKKA! HD!!

    and its only 4 hours away from me.

      It would be tough to see Floyd having his biggest possible PPV fight (currently) held in the UK. I guess they could do a PPV in the afternoon but I think that would mess upsales atleast a bit since bigs fights are almsot always on Saturday night after 11pm est.

      Would be pretty cool to see though, them doing it in Dallas would be better imo, that would be sick.

            It wouldn't sell out. UK people are interested in UK fighters, there aren't that many genuine boxing fans in the UK who would watch a fight between two foreigners.

            The only way it would sell out is if Ricky Hatton is fighting on the undercard against someone like Zab Judah.

                Did you see the way he was rushed today in London? Besides, I do kind of think that they would like to see him beat Pac and would root for him in that fight

                  i think it would sell out. i also dont think you can read too much into the turn out at the gym today, there was 2-300 people there, that aint that many really. it just seemed alot because the gym was so small.

                  you think, if you worked/lived within 5miles of that gym and you heard floyd was gonna be there, you'd pop along.

                  i love floyd and would love him to fight in the uk, i know it would probaly never happen but imagine a floyd vs pac with hatton vs bradley/khan on the undercard. insane

                  also floyds signed a deal with sky sports so they're hyping him to the max.
