wembley 80k. Could it be done again

[davie]

Floyd could sell out Wembley whenever he liked.

I think border control might limit the number of tickets he sells

Froch after a successful Vegas bout, could do Wembley again for Kessler 3 I think. You only have to re-run the first 2 fights to the general public, (esp 1st), and it sells out. No doubt about it.

Price V Fury could fill it but the police have already said they won't let it happen. There would be trouble and the met police don't have the resources to handle it.

30,000 Scousers v 30,000 travellers in the presence of 20,000 swaggering London/Essex/Kent soccer casuals. What could go wrong?

Mate, you know it's not 2012 right?

Manwhobets is divvy...

If Joshua wins and dominates the heavies he could draw that many if he was to be repeating Lewis' achievements of having all the major belts at once.

Lennox never held all four World titles at the same time.

the wbo wasn't regarded any higher than the IBO is now so lewis did have all the major belts

It all depends on the circumstances of the fight and how it's promoted to the public.

If someone told me 12 months ago that Froch Vs. Groves would pack out Wembley I'd have told them to lay off the crack pipe. Even when the first fight was announced you had fans saying Groves didn't deserve the shot, they weren't interested in watching the fight and it definitely didn't deserve to be a PPV event.

Spot on.

I enjoyed Froch vs Groves 2, but the fact that it drew such a big crowd was partly hype.

[IRLangmaid25]

I think it can happen but it needs to be real eye catching headliner with a strong undercard to back it up to make people come in out in the numbers that attended Carl Froch's second fight with George Groves as well.

Maybe for a football match.

[domjon]

the uniqueness of the fight being at Wembley was a big part of it's success imo, would be tricky to fill it again in the next few years.

If they promoted the shit out of Froch - Golovkin and moved up north I think they could get 80k+ in Old Trafford.

[Mimmy]

Audley Harrison could fill it.

Yes He Can!

Fill it with Bull Shit!

Aside from Mayweather's UK entry issue I really couldn't see him selling out Wembley against anyone, not even close. Not enough casual fans would care.

I agree. Maybe against Pac in his prime, or when he fought Hatton.

But I can't see it happening v anybody now.

You are so, so wrong. It's irrelevant though as he's not coming.

[lefty]

I could see Mayweather selling out wembley pretty easily myself. The hype around him in a general sense outside of boxing is already big. The media would be all over it if he came to fight over here.

[Bard of Boxrec]

He'd draw 40,000 people. Maybe.

[mickey1975]

He'd draw 40,000 people. Maybe.

He wouldn't. He'd sell out instantly.

[danconnollyeire]

He wouldn't. He'd sell out instantly.

Why would he. There are no passionate Mayweather fans in the UK. He never done anything to connect with the British public and even if he did, if there were 80k Mayweather fans, the atmosphere would be dire

[Yes We Can]

Audley Harrison could fill it.

Yes He Can! :OhYes:

Fill it with Bull poo! :box:

How dare you.

Destiny awaits.

[DMA1987]

He wouldn't. He'd sell out instantly.

You are so, so wrong.

It could happen without a doubt. Especially with all the domestic rivalries it could happen more than once.

Brook v Khan

Quigg v Frampton

Bellew v Cleverly (rubber match hopefully)

Joshua v a pulse

Luke Campbell v top 10

This card wouldn’t sell out within 20mins, it would sell though. You could even stick on Burns, the Scots would love a day out in London.

It can easily happen again, but as Hearn himself said, the right ingrediants are needed for a fight to get that big. I cannot see any fight out there at the moment that would do it - perhaps if Calzaghe came out of retirement to fight Froch next that might create a huge buzz, but its not going to happen.

I doubt Mayweather v Khan would sell it out, non boxing fans no little or nothing of Mayweather, thats hardly the right sort of ingrediants.

The undercard would be cack too I bet as Floyd will be looking to make up for loss of US PPV revenue for fighting at a shite time for the Yanks.
