    I'd say between 350 and 400K.....That's if promoted properly...not like the Wink and Bhop fight, but rather like the DLH vs Floyd fight.

    IF properly promoted it could do crazy #s, but they'd have to spend a whole lot of advertising.

    I say it does around 500k.

    yea easily a million from the brits rooting for their boy. plus mayweather is becoming pretty popular here in the states thanks to he 24/7 series and his win over dlh. i see him alot now on tv and alot of people seem to know him. basically hes a household name. i think this fight does a million. if they do a 24/7 series to show that Hatton is a come forward all action fighter and to show how down to earth Hatton is then it will do more then a million. might be one of the biggest fights.

    Americans will fall in love with Hatton if they have a 24/7 series and EVERYONE will be rooting for him to beat the "evil" Mayweather. The promotion should be fun if done right.

    This fight is selling at least 1 mil. I don't give a **** about the promotion. With good promo(24/7, etc.), we're looking at maybe 1.5

    you think Hatton can get under his skin any more than now....i dont know... think Hatton did the most he is cappable of doing with his trash talk saying he is going to win and saying wht he said after Castillo....that right there i think is it as far as getting under PBF's skin anymore...i think the damage is done....now at press conferences it will be Hattons turn and man...we know what PBF is capable of....lol....i hope they both talk **** though....has Hatton ever talked **** at any weigh ins or press conferences? im asking cus i never heard of him doing so they always say he's mild mannered.

    brits PPV numbers doesn't count, we are talking about HBO only.
    If i'm correct a Prince Nazeem fight did 700 k PPV buys in britain, while it was 4 in the morning.

    But HBO only, if they are promoting it right and ESPN and some other sport networks will get into it. it will do over 500 k. With an 24/7 it can do like 750 k i think.

    Remember everybody now knows that Floyd is nr 1 P4P. And if they can let the average american know who Ricky is, by 24/7, it could get very big.

    We'll see. Now i say 500. But with some great promotion work and some help from other media i wouldn't be suprised if it will get close to 1 milion

    This is tough, b/c the Brit fans aren't on PPV (in Britain), right? That's going to hurt.

    In the US, if they do it right (spend $$$), I could see it doing 700K +. But it'll probably do more like 500K. Remember, Sir Bikes-a-Lot is involved, so that immediately reduces the buy rate right there. That's a lot for any star to overcome, including Hatton.
