We're forgetting something. It's dangerous to gauge commercial interest when its just one game a season played over there. Now if they had 8 games yearly, would the people be there or more likely they'll settle down (i.e. not enthusiastic sell-outs), especially if said club sucks.

There was a time when I thought Toronto was more likely than London, but the last few years the Bills have "hosted" games in Toronto and turnout has been shit.

Of course its the Bills, I can't blame Canadians.
