    not heard this mentioned anywhere before, would this be feasible? what an historic fight that would be, the hitman entering the lions den... imagine how many tickets they could sell if they held it in an outdoor arena, safety would probably be a problem though.

    They should have it in England, Wembley stadium.

    They'd make a fortune.

    aye thats what i thought, hatton would have some serious balls if he went over to manilla, security would have to be high

    It should be in the USA on neutral ground, perferbly in Las Vegas.. No doubt tons of Britains and Filipinos travel over seas to see this fight..

    ticket sales would be high, but no doubt tickets in wembley would fetch more, and the casinos in vegas would bid for the fight, but pay per view sales would probably be higher as well because of the publicity it would generate and its not every day you get to see someone box infront of a massive cult following in manila, sort it out oscar!

    This fight would be

    95% Vegas
    5% UK
    0% Asia

    You are seriously dreaming if you think Hatton would ever go over to the 3rd world for a fight against their hero. :rofl

    UK is a small possibility because of the strength of the pound and the amount of tickets they could sell.

    Plenty of fighters have come over to fight Hatton in Manchester so maybe he should go to Manilla.

    I agree, but with the hometown pulling power both of these guy possess a neutral venue doesnt make economic sense.

    Why don't they ever hold fights in the US in football stadiums like The Rose Bowl or Giants Stadium or whatever like they do here in the UK.

    Its always at casinos holding 10,000 when this fight could sell out 100,000 at Wembley here.

    What the **** are you talking about..youre talking as if Filipinos are savages.

    Its perfectly fine to hold it in Manila..Ali fought there with Frazier..who the **** is Hatton??

    And to those ignorant enough to think that this wont make money..lol..people are popping $15 to watch Pac fight in the big screen. Again this would be the largest crowd ever to watch a sporting event..Theres more people in Metro Manila than the whole UK.
