Comments Thread For: Hearn: Mayweather vs. Brook Would Sell Out Wembley

[removed]

I bet Canelo vs Cotto sells out at Wembley and the biggest arena in Ireland.

Haha don't be silly.

Mayweather isn't even allowed into the UK.

Even if he was, selling out Wembley isn't going to help Showtime pay his $32m guarantee, nor are they going to get a huge site fee from Wembley that they'd get from the MGM.

Moreover, it's not a competitive match-up imo. Pure boxer v pure boxer, and Floyd is the obviously superior pure boxer.

spot on

we all know floyd will not fight outside of america let alone outside of vegas

people also forget uk tax, the reason why Bolt refused to run the 100m's and 200m's in the Commonwealth Games. He only ran the relay and this was because the Scottish tax office gave him a one off tax exemption, which is rare, i dont think Floyd cud get that

Floyd isnt about to pay 40% of the money he makes here to the UK tax man

Khan or Thurman next. The best thing about Brook winning IMO is there is a new face at ww. Floyd, manny and JMM are phasing out and I would like to see younger guys get a chance to have big fights, not JMM.

Floyd and manny should fight. Then JMM and Manny can fight. Other than that-I'd like fresh matchups with fresh faces.

Well Hearn already said he wants Khan in the summer for an outdoor event, so it's no way Khan can fight Brook and Mayweather in 2015. Brook on the other hand can fight this winter and still fight Mayweather to unify the titles. I think Marquez is a safer bout than Thurman, yet he's still a credible opponent.

Although I agree with the "fresh face" theory, I would like to see Mayweather rematch Cotto or Canelo (or both) @ 154 before he bounces, and of course a Mayweather vs. GGG Grand Finale would be excellent too. I think a win over GGG would make Mayweather at least a TOP 10 ATG.

I'm sure he'll fight the winner of cotto/canleo for the MW title next year. cotto, maybe. Canelo, no need. But Canelo would surely fight differently above 152.

Depends where GGG is-if he's the MW champ or has beaten ward, yes. If he's still KOing the level of fighter he has been while on the streak-I don't know. I think Floyd's at the point where his legacy isn't going to be affected by one fight.

I mean outside of NSB. here, well that's a different story

Just out of curiosity .. Why would Floyd re-match Cotto\Canelo when he thoroughly dominated both. The only reason Maidana got a re-match was because he was more competitive than both Canelo and Cotto.

Back on-topic: Brook should take another US fight before the year is out, and if he wins, target Floyd in the UK for a unification bout. This option makes the most sense!
As for Khan ... He needs to get back on the radar by doing more fighting than talking. Take a fight later this year and then try to get into the mix of things. Because in spite of Khan's perceived popularity, he doesn't have a belt which goes a long way towards getting the big dogs interested.

Would be funny is Khan dismisses Brook again. Mayweather fights Brook and sells out Wembley. Then Khan loses his next fight. That will be two recent Wembley sell outs without Khan who just lost another fight.

[Lou Cipher]

One Majority Decision over a fighter the world just found out even existed earlier this year and they're talking about this kind of stuff? Khan will de-turd this guy no problem...as will 10 other guys between 140-154

Floyd could fight one of us and that would sell out Wembley.

No Floyd won't sell of Wembley unless he's fighting a British fighter.

Deal with it. Uk media won't Give a F*** if Floyd fights at Wembley against a yank fighter.

Well I meant one of us on NSB. It was a joke. From what I understand he's huge in England. Maybe I'm wrong.
