If Floyd really wants to fight in UK....

The whole point is you guys get up at 4 in the morning because the sport is bigger over there. We wouldnt get up 4 in the morning to watch Hatton. Its different. We arent selling out big stadiums like Calzaghe. Boxing if finally getting some buzz in the US and everyone is talking about this fight. You have to keep it on US soil. If you want a huge fight in Wembley then take something like Khan vs JMM or whatever. This is not the one

I like this idea..

It brings back the good ole' days of having superfights all around the world...

Zaire.. Manilla.. UK..

why not?

yah, this fight can bring back some of the popularity of the old days... w/c is good for boxing

Since the sport is bigger over here, it should be held over here. We deserve it, since we're such loyal fans. Anyone who wants to keep it on US soil just for the sake of the reasons you quoted, is a greedy bastage and can simply fuck off.

But then, since it obviously won't happen in the UK, discussing this is pointless. The US will always be a bunch of greedy capitalists to me, anyway.

The UK is where the real money and thats why wrestling and nfl are starting to host events here.

This fight in wembley would be epic. Insane atmosphere, under the lights. Dont know what the guy talking about drama is all about, 100,000 fans roaring fans in wembley is 10x more dramatic then 20,000 in vegas

yah.. i think making it in UK makes this fight bigger....

i aint paying to watch floyd fight another tune-up in the UK or US or Antarctica or Sri Lanka...it needs to be in regular HBO...

and the days of having megafights outside of vegas is over...unless its in a place like macau or dubai where the casinos or several investors have and are willing to front cash for such in event.
there is no country out there right now that has the resources in this global economy to
pull it off.

[Grimmer]

thrilla in manila didnt happen in US soil right?

Nah, it was Tokyo I think.

i think UK > US in economy @ the moment, and why care about the cash
its all about the fight and the atmosphere, 100k people in a stadium is epic to see, good for boxing
