    that could take place on British soil that would generate the most interest for the U.K public? Would it be Pacquiao vs Mayweather? Or would a it have to involve one of our own guys?

    Ant V Dec.

    Although i think Dec would insist on a catchweight, so it probably won't happen.

    Murray TKO Pacquiao 6, as a warm up to Murray/Khan.

    Seriously, Hatton/Khan would be huge with the right marketing. Haye V Harrison would sell as a world title fight too.

    I think if Mayweather and Pacquiao spent a lot of time over here promoting their fight that it could capture more interest.

    a lot of things have to happen before that though, right now nothing beats khan vs hatton for interest and publicity because they're mainstream

    Haye vs Klitschko

    There's nothing to compare to the heavyweight championship of the world, black vs white, arrogance vs ice cool chilliness.

    Absolutely - no other fight comes close

    For us on ESB it is PBF v Pacman, but the British media would still have football on the back page. Whereas Khan v Hatton has the Benn v Eubank appeal written all over it
