I think you'll find MANY British guys, true boxing fans, not just hatton fans, would like to attend this event live.. having the fight in Vegas means traipsing around the world, costing fortunes, so impossible.

The true fan misses out.

Doesnt matter if it is in Vegas or not could be anywhere...South Africa for all I care....

I am just tired of hearing people cry about Venues..then Miles and his "I am tired of what the US fans want".....Why is he singling out US fans....

Here is a clue for him...

When a British Promoter can offer the Paydays US based promoters do then they can decide...That will never happen so send an email crying to them about being cheap crunts.....

It isnt a case of fuck Hatton and what he wants. Its a case of some of his fans saying what they actually want. If a pro Hatton crowd in a stadium can generate a lot of interest then so be it. Why do it in a sterilised casino venue with the empty sound of slot machines in the background?? Oh because Pac is PFP number 1!!. Is Pac really the bigger draw?? Maybe for HBO.

Overall yes Pacquiao is a bigger draw right now

Kostya went over to the UK, Pac can do the same. And in a much bigger environment.

Oscar was the main draw for this. Come on, now. And I hate Oscar.

[Mark TKO]

90,000 at Wembley - guaranteed I reckon . I don't care if it isn't Oscar. As someone said Lacazno attracted 57,000.

How often does the chance come along to have an event like that. I agree with the weather being an issue mind. Though Cardiff just wouldn't be the same

How many UK fans will make the journey to Vegas for this one - most of them must be skint by now !

Let common sense prevail here for once....here's hoping

Because UK fans would like to see a fight, am I not saying it for those reasons?

It makes it more difficult. However, Hatton fans will go anywhere to support him. In his most recent right against Malignaggi, in Vegas, Hatton a Brit, had by far the edge in crowd support.

Having the fight in Vegas may sell more tickets to the Philipinos and Mexican fans of Pacquiao. Then again, not sure it would trump how many tickets Hatton v. Pacquiao would sell in London.

Miles please...Oscar is the main draw for every fight he is in that is a no brainer...

Explain to me how Pacquiao is obligated to come to the UK...Or do you think he is obligated to come there I should say...

Why not South Africa? Germany? Better yet how about May Day Stadium in Korea...Biggest one in the world...

Just do not try to deny a fight in the UK favors Hatton crowd wise....

Why not have the fight in the Philippines?

There are not enough seats in America for the fans. And it would end up costing ther Brits a lot more regardless.

As an alternative we could always have the fight in the Philippines in order to see how the PFP man chumps all the dollar charts in the US and at such opportune hours of the day....

Indeed, why not. As I suggested in my post after this one. I wasnt anti America in my first response here. I was anti corporate America, and I still am. That is no slate against American people. American people are the biggest victims out there.

And yes, Hatton should face Pac in the UK.

Hatton has the biggest fan support in boxing, for sure. Not just the travellers, his fight with Floyd did over a million PPV buys in Britain alone.

If the fight happened in London/England/Britain it would do HUGE ticket numbers.. numbers that would piss all over the 15,000 Vegas casino numbers.

Pac, and his people, probably wouldn't fancy facing Hatton with a 60,000+ pro Hatton crowd though, unless the money was astronomical... that's why Arum is already making excuses.

[killersheep]

I thought Hatton said Lazcano was going to be his last fight in the UK.

At any rate, both PAC and Hatton have phenomenal draws, BUT Hatton's fans are more likely to spend money on seats and PPV's. From what I have seen PAC has a rabid audience that streams fights, that's cool but ultimately this is business and dollars talk. This fight should be held where the most money can be made. In my estimation the UK would make the most sense financially, of course PAC being the #1 p4p fighter in the world should have the ability to call the shots on this deal. Both guys have lots of opportunity in other fights but neither can expect a bigger payday from what they can give each other.

[smashup]

No way..Hatton is the biggest crowd puller in Boxing at present end of!
30,000 fans travelled half way across the globe to watch the Floyd fight with 22,000 knowing full well they wouldn't even be in the venue.
Can Pac say that? NO..nowhere near and Hatton holds the record for the fastest sell of a fight and that was around 45-50,000 within an hour or so.
Unheard of anywhere else or with any other current fighter.
These are facts Dax and it should be at Wembley 100%.
100,000 people would attend easily and Hatton could sell that amount on his own
Would be criminal if such a Huge fight was lost in a shitty 16,000 people arena in a desert,when we could have nearly 7 times that in one of the the worlds top venues (I've been to the new Wembley and it is an amazingly vast venue that would be brilliant full up with fight fans)
I'm sure with all the money generated the promoters could fix up a big canopey that covers far more are than just the ring apron and the rest is under cover anyway so the weather is no problem at all in my eyes!!
Hatton used to pull in more than the Vegas venues can hold before he bashed Tszyu. lol
He may not be the P4P king but he is unquestionably one of the most recognisable Sportsmen on the planet and his pulling power and fanbase are unequalled.
