The post war attendance record?
And where would you stage such a fight it would have to be the UK imo.
100,000 at Wembly that would probably be the biggest event in decades.

It's going to be a superfight and promoters will be cashing on it no doubt.
But hopefully PAC will not take this fight, I'd rather see PAC fight JMM or Guzman beat them then retire.
If PAC did beat Hatton people will just say he beat a washed up Hatton anyway![]()
Yeah, i'd like to see him fight one of the top 135 fighters first.. Guzman most likely, but I would love to see him fight Hatton. I just would love to see it... As boxing fans are demanding people sometimes..
That is the biggest money fight in boxing by a mile im not sure Arum or Pacquaio would risk fighting Guzman or the Marques/Casamayor winner.
Hatton/Pac-Man would generate crazy figures.
It's funny how most people (including me) find Pac-Hatton fight a joke last year. And now, it's creating so much buzz.
Me too! i was amazed at how good Manny looked at 135 it clearly suits him.
He and Hatton are the same height and Pacquaio comes in fight night at around 150lbs Hatton said his optimal fighting weight on fight night id 153lbs.
Would be a great, great fight both warriors both action fighters and if Manny won it would be a career defining moment he would truely be an ATG.
I don't think the promoters are in such a hurry to stage this fight.
We are also too eager to witness a super fight but first......
Both fighters are being chased by other boxers that they should accept the challenge first.
hatton-dlh
hatton-cotto
pac-guzman
pac-valero
This are big names suited for the two of them, why fight in haste when they can savor their dominance as of this time.
Why are people saying Pacman is afraid of anyone? He couldn't make 130 so people are saying he's scared and didn't want to fight Guzman, when he just fought JMM the guy everyone wanted him to fight, He beat Marquez in a close fight and doesn't need to fight him again, sure a Guzman fight would be fun, but is Guzman really good enough? I viewed Soto as his first real test, if he beats Campbell then Guzman deserves the chance, but not yet. I think Pacquaio could fight that winner, but a Hatton fight is much tougher, and much more historic.
If Pac fought and Beat Hatton, anf it did huge numbers, what are the odds that Floyd would come out of retirement and challenge Pac? I could see this being almost a definite.
I've always felt a Pacquaio-Mayweather fight would work. They wiegh about the same walking around, Pacquaio is a great offensive fighter, and Mayweather is a great defensive fighter who doesn't use size as an advantage when he has it. I think it would be a great fight, especially because Mayweather does not do well fighting southpaws... He tends to come forward against them and that plays into most southpaws advantage.
You're right although there was this wise old hobbit guy making noise about it a few months back

Anything is possible, but I find it hard to imagine Pac fighting him.. I mean, as I said anything is possible.. But how I see it, Floyd is not a big guy by any stretch.. Yet he makes Hatton look tiny in the ring with him.. If you look at Hatton's weigh in pics, he's built relatively the same as Pac.. the heigh/reach are equal, or actually benifiting Pac.... I just picture how much bigger Floyd looked than Hatton in that fight.. And if they are saying Hatton could bully pac around with his strength/size, Floyd would have that advantage also..
BUT, who the fuck knows!!! I will say this though, style wise, at their P4P prime, Pac v Mayweather would be one of the more exciting fights for the ages I think..
The only thing i disagree with is that he doesn't need to fight JMM again, i had Marquez winning both fights and a lot of people thought both decisions were highly controversial. Even Pacquiao fans here would like a 3rd meeting to settle the score, as for Guzman i thought his first real test was against Apagito Sanchez who was just coming off a dirty draw with Pacquiao, and followed by Jorge Barrios they were Guzman's first real test's not Humberto Soto.
