    Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton.

    Mayweather, is a great competitor for the main event, he brings alot to the table as far as an antagonist goes... but if he's the main guy on the card, its usually bad news for sales!

    "Floyd Mayweather said he gave Oscar De La Hoya his biggest pay day and that he gave me my biggest payday," said Hatton to the Manchester Evening News. "But we gave him his biggest paydays. He may be a wonderful fighter, but he still can't sell tickets."

    I have lost count of the amount of times that a hatton comment has been greeted with the picture of the pacman knockout .Then followed by some sleep related line.

    Ricky is correct on this one

    Ricky sold out Manchester Stadium against Lazcano - 50,000

    Brought an army with him against Mayweather

    Had a huge following against Castillo, Pacquiao and Colazzo.

    Mayweather by himself can not do the numbers Hatton does

    When Hatton fought Mayweather Mayweather said "80,000 people flew here over from Britain to be part of the Maywather experience" You mean to tell me that 80,000 Brits singing "there's only one Ricky Hatton" came all the way over from Britain to see Mayweather!? No they didnt

    British fans follow Ricky because of the person he is, the down to earth lieable charasmatic person who is an excellent boxer, is never in a dull fight and gives fans value for there money.

    Mayweather can seel tickets because he is very boring in his style, Ill never forget the bore-fest with Baldomir. Again for de-la hoya, if de-la hoya didnt make it a fight nothing would have happened.

    Ricky can sell way more tickets than Mayweather, its a shame the staples centre, Madison square garden e.t.c dont have as many seats as many Uk football stadiums.

    I think Ricky's aware that Floyd and Pac are superior talents to him;his issue was Floyd's lack of box-office appeal.
    Hatton has it,regardless of whether you post pics of him flattened or not.Tyson & Oscar had it too,and its not nullified by posting pics of them getting their arses kicked either.

    Maybe so Ricky but he knows how to send your head top careering into the ring post that's for sure.

    First time i ever did it. But why does he wake up and start talking **** about PBF. really? don't he got his own **** to worry about. promotion company, his brother, decide to retire or not, commenting on other UK fighter, his health, frank Warren shiting on him every chance he gets, going to the pub... get PBF off your mind lil ricky. you couldn't do it. Now just shut the **** up and go get a pint.

    Bingo. Hatton's made more than one idiotic statement to the press this month already. I like him, but he's been running off at the mouth aimlessly.

    Hatton is merely discussing boxing and the fact sti remains even after he got knocked out by pbf he was still more appealing to fans Han pbf and ha a bigger fanbase


    Pbf is a top p4p of the recent generation......but does he have a fanbase like ricky?........exactly......an that was the point
