    How much interest would there be in this fight?

    potential venue being the o2?

    I dont think they could fill the o2 unless they have some big ticket sellers on the undercard.

    The more interesting thing to me would be what game-plans they would bring. This fight could play out in some drastically different and interesting ways, were it to actually happen. :think

    Good fight between fringe contenders. This is the type of fight that needs to happen so we can weed these guys out a bit better before they get unwarranted title shots.

    I'd like to see this. It'd be an interesting fight without being a blockbuster. I'm sure they could draw 10,000 in Ireland.

    Theoretically, this is exactly the kind of fight that should get made.

    If held in UK, it would be a pretty big domestic showdown on par with a "Haye/Mac" fight. . . Not quite as huge as a "Hatton/Witter" fight would have been, but a bit more popular than a "Murray/Mitchell", or the upcoming "Burns/Mitchell".
