Do you think Ricky Hatton and Amir Khan should fight?

[jrosales13]

What do you think?

[gingeralbino]

hell yeah. See if Ricky has anything left, see if Amir is world class or not. Possible changing of the guard in British boxing, possible HUGE setback for the younger fighter.

Makes sense.

ps thanks for the non pac floyd threads dont know how long they will stay on the 1st page though.

[Bad Boy Dazza]

Yes

Are you from the U.K? If so how huge would this fight be over there?

And, ps I doubt it will stay in the from page that long but I am tired of talking about Floyd and Pac... So I am trying to bring some new discussions here. I doubt it works though

yeah im from the UK (just about, Northern Ireland)
Khan and Hatton are both box office fighters by themselves v any old opponent, and attract 20,000+ crowds on fight night (well Ricky has had over 50,000 before and Khan hasnt fought in a stadium so dunno what his max draw would be, and Ricky can sell 1M ppvs in the UK alone v May or Pac, not sure how many Khan sells, but after his 1rd KO his numbers will go up)

hatton is loved by most, hated by a few. Khan is loved by some, hated by others (about 60/40 love/hate i'd guess).

It would sell out Wembley (80,000 + whatever number can fit on the part of the pitch they dont need for the ring) and would sell close to a million ppvs.

IMO anyway.

80,000+ that is crazy... I wish I could experience something like that. Here in the U.S all the big fights at in Casinos so you do not get more than 16,000 fans for a huge fight. That is why I want a big fight to happen in a stadium. So I could witness something like that.

I doubt it would sell Wembley out, then again I doubt that Wembley would open the full 80,000 for health and safety reasons. I reckon they could do 45,000 in Wembley though.

It'd sell a ton of PPVs though.

Wembley is actually 90,000, so with seats on the pitch, i think they could do close to 100,000. It'd be huge, and it makes sense, but I only see it happening if Ricky beats Marquez.



Hatton vs Lazcano had 57,000 in attendance (Soccer configuration max 47,000) , thats pretty much a sell out at City of Manchester Stadium.

Who would you predict to win that fight. If it happens?
