    If I were a name fighter I would go to the UK to have the experience of fighting in front of that type of crowd. PBF should have agreed to go to the UK. The fight would have been even bigger.It would give PBF even more cred if he won in Hatton's home town.

    Yeah ... 95,000 fans singing "Walking in a Hatton Wonderland", would sound awesome. Also, Fiddy Cent getting Booed by 95k fans would be good for a laff too.

    50,000 was a great turnout.

    ali's record is still safe though. :bbb

    hopefully hatton has a wembley stadium fight with the roof on and breaks it. :yep

    Great turnout but two things.

    1. Cardiff is a small city but the fans werent all from Cardiff, they came from all over Wales and the rest of the UK which has a population of 60 million.

    2 Wembley DOES NOT have a closable roof.
