Even if you could sell out Wembley, how are the promoters going to get the authorities and local residents to agree to the five in the morning bell time?
Probably wouldn't have too. Surely in America he would still get big American PPV numbers fighting around 5pm their time. Mayweather's fights against bums always does big numbers anyway.
I don't think there's any chance that Floyd will fight over here, due to issues like that and the fact he will earn more from casino fees in the States than a sold out Wembley anyway, potential tax issues etc etc. My only point was in the unlikely event that he did fight here, against someone like Khan, I think it would be such a hyped and major event that it would be possible to sell out Wembley, or if not a smaller London football ground like the Emirates for it.
That would not be risked. When big events have come over here, they generally have not had big PPV (closed circuit) sales. Bruno/Witherspoon went out a few hours earlier (1 am bell time) and hit HBO viewing figures. And the WWF had a massive (PPV) flop when they choose to delay the broadcast of an event at Wembley.
Mayweather Vs Khan doesn't end well for Khan, there would be only one outcome and that would be Khan getting banged from pillar to post before being stopped/KO'd. This would be another **** easy fight for "Money"...
No chance does this sell out a football stadium, mayweather is not as big over here as he thinks, neither is pacman. And Khan isn't that well liked.
The tax issues would be massive. Usain Bolt stayed away from competing here due to the tax rules, it's only when the Treasury granted him an exemption that he decided to race here. Can't see Floyd getting a similar deal. Fact is, he's not as big a deal as Bolt. The only way he sells out 90,000 at Wembley is if they start tickets really cheap but then that means he might not make as much money as he would in Vegas. The Floyd fighting in England stuff comes from our press continuing to ask Floyd about fighting here. He gives a diplomatic response and says something about UK fans being great and that he'd love to fight here one day.
yeah, he trots the same lines out every time he's asked about fighting in the UK. Just playing the media game.
This is a huge cherry pick. Floyd Mayweather will play with Amir Khan. He may even let it go the full 12, just to make it a fight worth watching. Amir Khan is finished and trust Floyd Mayweather to want to get that fight on ASAP. Amir Khan wanted that fight, but then went on to lose a couple of fights, so the dream of a fight was over. But now Floyd wants that easy work and easy money. These 6 fights on showtime are gonna be laughable, I can just see it. Guerrero check Alexander Khan Peterson Bradley Juan Manuel Marquez II Can't see TMT making the Garcia fight. Pacquiao could be a possibility if he can win a couple of fights and get back on track. I reckon Pacquiao will be on his hands and knees for that fight now. Saul Alvarez could be a possibility if they can weight drain Alvarez in some way. If not, I can't see Mayweather wanting it. You'll never see Broner vs. Mayweather. A fight with Gamboa or Ward is more likely than that ever happening. I reckon Mayweather is done after these 30 months, and "about bull****"reckons his big bro is definitely finished after the 30 months. He will whoop all 6 and retire undefeated. The fights themselves wont actually be up to much.
Garcia Alvarez Pacquiao Would be almost perfect. Khan Spadafora Peterson Alexander More likely Saying that, wouldn't mind to see a Khan fight because whilst Mayweather would obviously win whenever he want too, the build up for that fight would be something.
Why would TMT put Danny Garcia in with Mayweather, unless they wanted Garcia to be a fall guy? Mayweather will not fight one of his own. Bad for business. When you actually look at it though. He is in a position where he doesn't really need to fight any of his own, as it doesn't enhance f*ck all for him by doing it, secondly, there are "better" fights out there.
