    He's mentioned it before and now he's mentioned it again in the Sky Sports interview that's been knocking about:

    http://www.skysports.com/video/inline/0,26691,13273_5700132,00.html

    1- Would you want to see PBF in the UK live?
    2- Is it a smart business move?
    3- Does he really mean it or is he on another charm offensive?

    Personally, I'd love to see the guy fight live and the chance to see him in the UK would be awesome.

    :good

    1. Yes.
    2. No, although it could be depending on the popularity of the opponent.
    3. Charm.

    I'd go and see him whoever he fights, and yes he defo means it.

    The Hatton fight stuck in his mind, he badly wants support like that.

    I dont think he will ever fight in the UK to be honest unless he stays around and fights Khan in a few years time or something.

    Yes and it could very well be vs Pacquiao at Wembley

    I e-mailed them yesterday at work and asked them to go in to the bidding process for me. I'll let you know what is said when I get to work tonight :goo

    He's probably just saying it to a British interviewer knowing its going out to the British fight fans...

    It would be pretty cool if he did but its not likely. Money dictates, and unless he was fighting Hatton or Khan it would make no sense.

    He's only saying it cause he wants an easy pay day fight against Hatton in UK

    Otherwise he would want nothing to do with UK

    They're gonna enter the bidding proccess to have it held in their flagship store in Milton Keynes :lol:

    Nah they said if I ring them personally they are willing to talk prices but they will not get drawn into a dutch bidding war over a watch :-( I was hoping they would just automatically give it me cheaper :lol:

    He's just saying it to increase his overseas sales. He or his advisors have spotted a little $mine in the UK market and so has started digging.

    If it's not financially beneficial for Hatton to fight in the UK (over the US), it's never going to be for Floyd.
