    It makes sense that the fight would make the most money in Britan, so thats where it should be.Not wanting to travel is just another excuse to stay safe.Mayweather may just stay in the U.S. and fight the shell of Felix Trinidad, and THAT would be bull****.

    Surely for maximum revenue this fight needs to take place at Wembley at 2am? You'd get (at least) 60,000 fans and the USA PPV numbers would be unaffected?

    Nope !!! Las vegas Floyd's in the driver seat I see no reason to give that up that advantage. Zoo made the mistake of fighting rick in manchester , I highly doubt floyd would make the same mistake.

    If PBF has to go to England he should get atleast 15 mil. I say no deal he's worth more than that.

    floyd in know well enough in the US that he can sell out PPV as long as he keep up the bad boy persona ... he fan will pay and anti floyd fans will pay to see him get KOed. HBO has a enough power to make the feed to Manchester and make the PPV buys hattons fans would buy it.

    besides floyd is in a position to say take or leave it , Im pretty sure Arum is greedy enough to make a fight with Cotto and floyd that would do far better then Floyd Hatton in either the garden or Vagus.. Arum has went on record anyway saying he doesn't think Ricky is the real challenge for floyd which can only mean he will be in Floyd ear if this fight should fall through.

    Well forget about American TV and PPV money because they are unaffected by an Sunday AM start in the UK. The real question is then, is the casino money/ tickets worth more than the UK tickets?

    I don't think you'd need to go below 50 quid with the cheap seats to get very decent numbers in the UK.

    Leeroy.............Refreshing to here an american speaking like you do fella......Nice one......
    From a "money" point of view then keep all the fat cats happy with shiny happy vegas & all that entails but from a spectacle point of view .....Seriously do you think that ANYWHERE in the US could compare to 90'000 screaming fans on fightnight.............Like bollocks could America compare to that.............Give the fight to the people for ****s sake..........If Floyds genuine fans make the journey then fair play but I gaurentee it would be a genuine "Superfight" atmosphere over here unlike the last "supershite" in the US.........Floyd V DLH...........I've made more noise & a better atmosphere in bed with my missus for ****s sake !!!!!!!!!

    why dont they both just be ****ing warriors and fight...

    god, all this negotiating about money and all this ****... people forget where the hell they come from.

    Thats what i love about guys like morales, vargas, miranda, just... warriors of the sport... they would never not have a fight go through that they want to happen due to stupid ass financial reasons...

    oooohh booo hoo... mayweather is getting 9 million ****ing dollars for a fight instead of 12... so no fight.

    i swear...

    Its not silly mate. 40,000 is a dead cert. The MEN sells out within a couple of days when tickets go on sale for a Hatton fight, that was fighting against guys like Mike Stewart. And there is still huge numbers wanting tickets, 10,000 went to Vegas, trust me 40,000 would be sold EASY.

    90,000 would be tougher but it is not impossible by any means. It would depend on pricing for the cheaper seats but it could be done with the right undercard and promotion.
