    Of course.

    He sold 40,000 on the first day of sales for Lazcano, didn't he?

    I know most of my mates would want to go, they'd want to see Hatton get beat, I'd be cheering Ricky on.

    I think this fight would probably sell 70,000 twice over, it has to be at wembley, it would make so much more money than being in Las Vegas, there is also a large amount of philipino's living in london and if they worship Pacquaio like its made to seem then im pretty sure some of them would get hold of some tickets.

    Las Vegas for me. It should be at a neutral ground not the UK or Philippines.

    Wembley more people will get to see the fight. If the fight is at the MGM/ MSG then the price of tickets will be a secondary concern to actually being able to get your hands on them. Between the casino keeping tickets for the high rolers, the tickets tied up in expensive package deals and the two sets of fans, those ~25,000 would be like rocking horse ****.

    If Wembley is to small why not book Knebworth?

    02 is a bigger venue than the MEN.

    I think Warrens exlusivitey deal will have finished now.

    knebworth is a field not a stadium!

    I can understand people wanting Wembley because it will probably sell close to 70,000 tickets but who in their right mind would go to see that and not be able to see anything?

    If I am sitting there watching it on the big screen then I'd rather watch it in the house in the warm with my mates and a few beers.
