No chance,Wembley holds 92,000 and add to that 5,000 on the pitch too ;)
What they'll do is just use 1 tier and the pitch (roughly 40/50 thousand).
I reckon he could pull that in and in that respect yeah he'd sell it out easily. :)
If Hatton wins Castillo then goes onto fight Oscar and lets say he wins that aswell not saying he will but who do you think we should fight after that Cotto or PBF?
Very big ask to beat them all but i think Hatton would go down as the Best British boxer ever without a doubt.
Ol' Oscar knows how to pick 'em, doesn't he? He's gonna fight Hatton? Whose only experience at 147 was less than memorable? Who's obviously going to remain at 140 unless he wants to risk a devastating loss? Whereas Oscar, on the other hand, has fought as high as 160. Not very successfully, mind you, but he did go there. What's the point? Is Oscar trying to find yet another way to add to his "legacy"? Honestly, I find little, if any point whatsoever with Oscar fighting Hatton.
We heard it before with Benn and Roy Jones http://groups.google.co.uk/group/rec...88cc1fb?lnk=st
Let's hope Hatton-De La or Mayweather gets put together, but there are obstacles - Jose Luis Castillo, De La Hoya's size, etc

Oh, it'll draw alright. But will it be competitive? What risk is Oscar incurring in agreeing to fight Hatton? Presumably it would be no lower than 147. So what's the point? To add another notch to Oscar's belt? No thanks.Quote:

I can't see Hatton lasting more than 3 rounds against Oscar.Quote:
