Can Mayweather-Pacquiao fight sell 80k at Wembley Stadium?

Mayweather could sell out Wembley fighting anyone.

 

It would sell out faster than groves vs froch

 

Believe me, it would.
Brits go all up in the hype if one of their own has a chance to win the HW title, like last time out with Haye. If the Backend Boys or Take That (it was one of them boybands) hadn't already reserved the date it would have sold out Wembley 2 times over, if the hype and the fact that Hamburg was completely taken over by Brits is any kind of indication.
When a fight with Fury actually takes place the hype will get blown up to massive proportions again and it will almost definitely sell out a massive soccer stadium.

I know Brits rather reserve their money for boybands, but a fight like that would probably be an exeption to the rule.

 

Every "casual" already knows who Mayweather and Pacquiao are.

 

Word is, the attendance @ the MGM Grand for Mayweather/Maydana was short of a sell out.:conf

 

even people in the Taliban would watch pacman vs duckweather.....


this fight would be bigger then the super bowl....

 

Not in Europe.

While I'm not sure if they could sell out the Wembley stadium, they certainly could pack some stadium in the US. If I'm correct, Pacquiao vs Clottey attracted about 40.000 at Cowboys Stadium, so it's reasonable to believe that Pacquiao vs. Mayweather could sell it out.

They could probably attract the biggest crowd fighting in Philippines though. As for Europe, they are not very known outside the UK, and certainly wouldn't be staging the fight at any stadiums.

 

it was 50.000
Pacquiao-Joshua Clottey fight draws more than 50,000 fans to Cowboys Stadium

and that was just of pacmans name

 

Yes, in Europe.

Fighting in Europe would add even more to the crowd because of the novelty of it.

Mayweather and Pacquiao are massively famous, at least in sporting circles in Britain.

You ask an average British person to namke a boxer, chances are tehy'd name Mayweather and Pacquiao before they'd name Froch

 

paid crowd of 36,371. Total attendance was closer to 40K than 50K!

 

whatever the case pacman fighting duckweather would fill in 4 wembley stadiums ....

 

Maybe 3 years ago, not so sure now!

 

Very different over here. Maybe 5% know who Pac is, and even less know Floyd.
Boxing is completely dead in my country, and has been for quite a while.

 

What country is that?

 

The Netherlands
