    That seems an odd venue to talk up given that its only what 12K? you'd think Khan/Floyd would be at the 02/millenium Dome with double that.

    Perhaps he means Wembley Stadium? that would I'd say be the biggest attraction for getting Floyd to the UK, with enough hype I think they could draw alot more than has been managed at the Cowboys stadium simpley because travel is much less of an issue.

    Yep, I think that's what he was referring to.

    This is easy: ZEEEEEEEROOOOOO chance of PBF ever touching gloves on non American ground.

    I could see them drawing a very large crowd if they promote it well, the problem with the Cowboys stadium is that as big as Dallas is you've still only got what 5-6 million people within a days overland travel, much less than London or the venues the Klits sellout in Germany.

    Mayweather vs. Matthew Hatton if Hatton hurdles Alvarez.

    You can quote me for that!

    When Amir fights Floyd, it'll answer the question of whether Amir is "Bankroll" or just "Bankrupt".

    Khan need to stick to fighting those 140lb fighters because he's not ready for Floyd yet. If Floyd is not fighting Pac then it should be Martinez. Those are the only two fights that make would further solidify his greatness.

    As we have seen Floyd is not looking to solify his "greatness" he is looking for a BIG PAYDAY with very little risk of affecting his "0". And the only ones that could deliver that big amount of cash is Pac and now more recently Khan. But as we know too, Pac is too much of a risk if not that fight would of happened already, so the only left is Khan. Either way, Khan/Floyd or Pac/Floyd is a very good fight!

    There are so many reasons as to why I want this fight to happen but there is also reasons as to why I don't want this fight to happen.

    I want this fight to happen because GBP is promoting Khan (who is the next big superstar after Pac and Floyd retire) and that would show Arum that he aint the only with a cash cow! Pac is on his last 2 or 3 fights while Khan still has a couple of years to go. What would TR have after Pac? Any superstars? I don't think so!

    And I don't want this fight to happen because we won't ever see Pac vs Floyd! :twisted: As Mayweather will receive his biggest or one of his biggest paydays, that would give him a incentive on not to even consider AT ALL a fight with Pac.

    while the money would be good, lil floyd still would rather be on vacation than take a fight in which the money would be even greater........so if he would rather take good money, instead of great money, then the man isn't really showing he's all about money
