i remember ricky having insane amount of fans he had thousands of people willing to travel for him maybe its just me i dont know who would you say had more fans? i remember hatton vs mayweather the hype was unreal yet that fight did not even break 1 mill buys
Yes, Khan still has a lot fans. He's a name. Hatton= De La Hoya, Khan- Mosely, or Tito (in their Prime)
Hatton had more fans, well atleast in the UK anyway. To go with his all out action style and habit of winning he was a proper personality. There was everything to love about the Hitman. Khan has a reputation for ****iness, arrogance, which at times is needed in boxing but he just seems to have it all the time. So most would be up for him but not take him to their hearts. Some poor morons even have a problem with his colour or religion which is pretty fkkin sad.
Hatton was worth a lot more money, he was wildly popular in the UK. Even now while he's retired he maintains more fans than Khan. That being said Khan is more recognized in the states today than hatton was in 07. The biggest mistake floyd ever made was cuttnig the deal that Hatton keeps all UK ppv money for their fight. Ricky cleaned the F up on that one.
A lot of people over here in the UK like Floyd, just as many will want Floyd to beat Khan. That's the impression I get when talking to friends who are boxing fans.
lol...i'd say Rikcy had 100x more fans:rofl I can name 20 British boxers who had more fans than Khan did.
