I think both would need a big jump in their profiles especially DeGale, both would probably need to hold world titles won in riveting displays as well.

In answer to the question, or course it can happen again - but it needs the right ingredients.

This time last year nobody would have said that Froch and Groves would have achieved this.

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.

I agree i honestly dont think Khan v Floyd could sell out Wembley, Khans not a huge ticket seller himself and Floyd isnt known that well by the general British public. Boxing fans would go insane for it but you need casual fans to spread the word and buy up the tickets.

I do think if Haye hit the comeback trail properly he may be able to land some type of fight that could fill Wembley but he would need to defeat the right people in the right manner and then be facing either someone elevated ie tyson fury if he could win a world title or have some meaningful wins, or one of the klits. People may be disparaged with him now but the general public are fickle and Hayes a full on celebrity.

Froch could probably do a sell out again if he had the right opponent.

Khan v Brook if brook has some top wins could do it, especially if khan comes anywhere close to beating floyds first at some point in the future.

Na that would sell big time. With the ringside appearances and the gloves are off and both of their histories growing up together and the dislike, etc, etc, the casuals would eat it up.
