Ithey are scared of rain then they should put it on in the milenium stadium Cardiff which is a much more fan friendly venue as its right in the centre of Cardiff.

In all fairness, it's a tough call as to who's a bigger draw, Hatton or Manny.

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.

They've got to have it in Vegas to get it on PPV so that's that.

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.

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.

Hatton is the champ, Pac is the challenger. I think that speaks volumes for where they should fight.

I am American...i'd like it here, cuz I'm greedy., But this fight could generate more revenue in England, seriously. Pac is not having any trouble with popularity. He is almost a household name at this point, imho.

Hatton will lose. I'd like to see him win, but I just don't think it will happen, unless Mayweather Sr can get rid of some stinky habits he's holding onto. He could get seriously exposed by Pac.

Please don't say that.

Ricky Hatton is the biggest supported fighter in the world. And has been for the past couple of years. He got 50,000 for Juan Lazcano, Lazcano for fuck sake. A Pac fight would go beyond 100,000.

Why do you think Floyd Mayweather's camp have just offered him a rematch ? there's a lot of money to be made off Hatton's name.

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.....

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.
