What makes u believe Hatton is a bigger draw than Floyd?

[justaboxingfan]

Hatton is without a doubt a bigger draw. He has a whole country supporting him and they have the $$ to show for it. When have you ever seen 10,000+ fans fly across the ocean to see their guy fight. That is bar to none. This is why this fight will be bigger than PBF/ODLH and a sweet victory to cement Floyds career and P4P title

Question should, what doesn't make you believe it.

I know most of you don't want to admit it, or except because of your bias and hate for Mayweather, but he's a bigger name in a bigger market that happens to bring in the most $$Money$$. Sure Hatton's more popular in England, and Europe, but Mayweather has quite the fan base, and he's surely generated more after May 5th. Now whether they love him or want to see his head taken off he still does. His face is getting around all over here in the states so whether you'll want to admit it or not he's a very popular figure! I know it's makes most of you feel better to think otherwise but it's simply not the case Just accept it and hope the fight gets made!

Then there's all the dumb people saying Hatton will draw more fans to the fight(casino/stadium) than mayweather. Well, if Floyd could pretty much fill the room when fighting Baldo, it's not like he couldnt do it against anyone else in the US... and casinos bring huge money, so whether it's in a 13K casino or a 50K UK stadium, the revenue will be similar.

The worse argument is the fan base, people say Floyd does not draw because he does not have a fan base.. wrong, most people who will buy the fight in the USA will either root for Floyd or just buy it to see him lose and get KTFO.. either way, the draw is Floyd, whether you want him to win or lose. But not many american fans will buy it for Ricky Hatton.

So basically, the gate revenue would pretty much be the same in the US and UK due to the casino money for the fight.

And US fans, which are way more than UK fans will buy it to see FLOYD, not Hatton. People won't tune in to see Hatton win, they will to see Mayweather lose.. or win for his fans. So most of the PPV revenue will come from Floyd.

Nuf said.

Well Hatton was reported to have made over $10 million for the Castillo fight having added together all revenues which was more than Floyd made fighting Baldo on PPV. So Hatton makes more money in a non PPV event than Mayweather can in a PPV event. Let's see Mayweather generate $10 million without PPV revenue.

Rubbish Hatton made $2million dollars tops not £(GBP) Sterling. Mayweather is the top fighter and draw here.
