    Wouldn't doubt it if it's in England. Haven't checked the records is the richest DLH/Mayweather or Holyfield/Tyson II?

    DLH/Mayweather is the richest, but i mean selling out Wembley would be like 100k people there which is like 80k more than msg isn't it so i think this would easily beat that

    That is the fight that is on the back burner for a rainy day. It would not do as well as ODH/Mayweather in the US PPV wise but it would make a **** load of money.

    **** yeah. You got the whole USA vs. UK thing as well as Mexico vs. UK since DLH brings the American and Mexican crowd. The numbers would be crazy.

    I definitely think this would be the biggest fight. If they do it, I'm gonna be pissed off if they do it in a small stadium. These mother****ers could sell 200k tickets, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it.

    Could very well be with all the UK fans. I'm hoping this fight does not happen because I think we all know what the result would be.

    The gate would be the biggest ever, I don't think the PPV would top DLH vs Mayweather in north america. It might sell more PPV if both the UK and US are combined.

    If it's like FIFA who run the football for international matches, there are only a few stadiums that have the facilties - wheelchair access, saftey precautions, gerenal facilities at the stated level ... so it will either be in a 60,000, 95,000, 80,000 or possible 40,000 if they have it at Man City's ground - the football team Hatton supports.

    I hope it's a Wembly if it goes head.

    It would make loadsa money the same way Mayweather Vs Big Show made loadsa money...because there is crossover appeal for the idiots of the world.

    People need to forget the US PPV stats, the UK PPV stats for this would top 2-3million easily, although the sterling to dollar PPV value is lower if you add on the 1million odd US buys and the crowd you are looking at possibly the biggest fight of all time commercially.

    Who was at Tyson-Lewis? Hatton-Mayweather was like the Oscars.

    40000 at man city's stadium? I'm sure there were 58000 when hatton fought lazcano.
    DLH v Hatton at wembley would be the richest fight in boxing easily.
