VERRRY few Mayweather fans would travel to England to watch him fight.

But to be fair, how many would go watch Oscar fight? How many DID go watch Tyson fight overseas?

It has as much to do with the cultural differences as it does with the fanbase. US fans are too US-centric to travel overseas to watch a fight. Even Oscar wouldn't draw a big overseas crowd.
If Oscar faught an Englishman, even someone like Jamie Moore or Cardiff's Bradley Pryce he would sell out 20,000 seats I bet, although it would be a pointless exercise.
