    Like the Froch/GG fight?

    I'm honestly hoping that we don't. Here's why...

    1) It'd be impossible to beat the drama of the first fight, the ending of that fight, the build-up to the rematch and the finish of the rematch again.

    2) EVERY FIGHTER was saying 'we can do it at Wembley' after that show. I remember even TONY BELLEW (and I'm a fan of his) mentioning it about him and Clev! :lol::lol:

    Come on! In my opinion, Brook/Khan isn't even a fight of that magnitude (both aren't superstars) and a fight like that should be held in the north (MEN would be so fitting for that).

    Froch/GGG isn't on that level either - that's a big American fight though.

    Thoughts?

    Most thought Froch/Groves II wasn't on that level before it happened but it did.

    Brook/Khan would do it imo, though would prefer it in a northern stadium as you say. Froch/GGG could do it with a huge marketing drive and strong card. Degale/Groves could build up to that level but not near yet. If Joshua goes all the way he'll headline Wembley at some point.

    Old Trafford is where Brook vs Khan should happen. Froch GGG sells Wembley out imo

    Yh and Groves was ^^^^ 😂😂😂

    Khan vs. Brook easily sells Wembley. Especially if they do it rock bottom prices like the Froch/Groves fight

    Haye v Joshua would fill out Wembley even if it was made now with no title on the line.

    think any big sky box office fight, either klitscho vs fury, brook vs khan, froch vs ggg will come close to filling Wembley. With matchroom able to stack the undercards too and all the sky channels promoting it it'll do well at the right time

    froch groves 2 happened when the football season finished, cricket/tennis hadn't really started and not much was happening with rugby which made it easy to attract casuals. So think any Wembley fight will only happen around late may / early june time when their not competing with other sports.

    Froch v Groves 2 sold the tickets but only about 55,000 people inside the stadium watching the fight.

    Don't think many will return to watch a fight at Wembley as the view was shyte anywhere in the stands and on the pitch behind the inner square.

    I was near the halfway line about 20 rows up in the lower tier and it was shyte.

    The only decent view was the £500 plus tickets near ringside but the fight not worth that money.
