SKy Sports just - Hatton v Pac set for May in USA ??

[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.

This would sell out Wembley Stadium easy, & they could even do it like a football match & initially set aside a specific amount of tickets for Pac fans, & whatever was left over put back on general sale. For me this should be in either the Phillipines or London, whichever makes the best financial sense. That 90% chance of rain is bollocks in early May, its actually about 70% max, speakin as sum1 whos lived here my whole life & there are ways round the weather anyway. The roof can close to cover the entirety of the seating area & i'm sure they could find a way to cover both the ring & the ringside seats. Also all Pac fans who would travel to see him fight would do so just as easily in London as they would in the US. There is also a decent sized & generally economically wealthy phillipino community in or around London, which Pac could generate support from, as well as those Brits who hate Hatton (and yes there are a fair few even if I ain't 1 of em) who may come in the hope of him getting beat.
