    I think its possible, both have enormous fan bases throughout the world. If this fight was held in the UK or Asia the money it has the potential to generate could be epic






    What do you all think? Or in the current economic climate is it no chance of doing greater numbers then oscar vs floyd?

    Don't think it will beat DLH/Mayweather, I'll give Pacquiao/Mayweather a better chance at that.

    It could happen. The economic times could hurt it look you mentioned. Scar, Oscar made PBF not the other way around. PBF was never making numbers like Oscar until he fought Oscar. Hatton is proven and Pac was coming up. Pac vs Hatton could make more noise, but Pac vs PBF would beat all if it happened.

    I never said that PBF made Oscar, that would be ridiculous and stupid to stay.

    What is the potential gate at Wembley stadium, that place is ****ing huge?

    Could it do 100,000? I understand that gates in the US are often misleading because so many tickets are given away? Anyway, a paying gate of 100,000, that's a serious, serious boost to pay per view numbers. The thing is, I'm not sure the fight would be a big sell in the states. But it could definitely be massive.

    My bad, your right. I meant that Hatton vs Pac could surpass PBF vs Oscar. If by some chance Pac wins, PBF vs Pac would be through the roof.

    And that's based on what? PPV from the UK alone would halve that number straight away.

    Or did you mean PPV in the US only?

    Pac - Mayweather would come close but wouldn't over come the top space Oscar - Mayweather.
