        I think UK is an excellent place to set the fight.

        it's high time to change the atmosphere. I will definitely fly over if this happens. :P

          Wembley Stadium can hold 90,000+ for a football game.



          or the Millennium stadium which holds 75,000+ and can close its roof.



          If they want to shatter attendance records then hold it one of these grounds, sadly it won't happen though.

            Whne i went to the Hatton fight at Man City stadium, i paid £250 ($425ish) for my ticket, which certainly aint a football ticket price.

              100k+ could generate

              £1 is $1.6625

              £75 x 50k = 3,750,000
              £100 x 40k = 4,000,000
              £250 x 5k = 1,250,000
              £500 x 4k = 2,000,000
              £750 x 800 = 600,000
              £1000 x 150 = 150,000
              £5000 x 50 = 250,000

              equals 12 million UK pounds or $19,950,000

              I just guessed the prices though. Would people be willing to pay it?

                  If the UK wanted to Pacquiao-Mayweather, they would have made an offer.

                  Promoters would never go over anyway, because England taxes half, Las Vegas and Texas there are no taxes for these events. Hence, why they are the front runners.

                    Couldn't be Wembley in March anyway, there's no roof on the stadium. Millennium stadium in Wales has a roof and would hold close to 100,000.
