    you have 58000 fans there to see hatton.

    i guarantee if Floyd held a fight in the Michigan University football stadium, it would be half empty.

    On that thought, Hatton could break the attendance record if Mayweather fights him over there. His support is amazing, and the brit fans have pride. This is coming from an American......Crazy ****.

    No question.
    Mayweather has about 9 or 10 fans, and they're too busy on ESB defending his decision to fight DLH more than Robinson fought LaMotta to attend his fights.

    Not true ... Floyd is from Michigan and Michiganders take pride in sports - especially boxing ... more people want to see Floyd lose than see Hatton period.

    Hatton has that appeal - that some can relate to ... a hometown kid who's humble and doesn't stand out much - he'll come to the bar with you and take shots with you ... throw darts with you ... and make you feel like he's one of the guys - even though he's a world class athlete.

    Mayweather would sell - he's a big draw - hell he's the best fighter in the world ... now that he's reached the status that he has ... more and more people are tuning in to watch him - just to see him lose ... and he's gaining more fan fair by the minute.

    If FMJ comes over here to fight Hatton then the fight will most likely be held at Wembley. With the changes at Wembley I don't know the exact capacity for a fight but you're looking at about 90,000. I'll be paying to go and watch it :) It would be a great spectacle, I think Golden Boy will make it happen.

    One funny thing, I was ready to pop over to see the last fight, got my tickets through a friend, couldn't get enough time off work! Why? Because every flight for three weeks before was booked up. I would have had to take 4 weeks off to see it. I don't know how many British fans went over but you couldn't get a flight for love nor money.

    Doesnt matter how many fans Hatton has none can save him from another big loss to Mayweather.

    No question Hatton is a bigger draw.

    Floyd gets alot of hate from boxing fans but he has crossed over into the mainstream somewhat. I think he would sell more tickets than you would think

    i for one bought the fight more to watch PBF than Hatton. not that i'm disputing what you are saying. i would rather be a winner than a bigger draw.
