    Hatton sells more tickets in UK and U.S. - his fans follow him across the Ocean. FMJ has no fans to follow him around the block.

    Overall, no boxer except Oscar is all that popular. However, pretty much everybody I know who even watches boxing a little bit knows who Floyd is. All of my friends know I get all the fights. Whenever Floyd fights I get calls asking if they can come over. I don't hear **** from them when Ricky fights. I tried to invite my boy Dom over for the Hatton-Castillo fight(he's also a big fight fan), you wanna know what he said? He said he doesn't like watching wrestling. Once again, someone name someone who does better ppv numbers, besides Oscar, than Floyd.

    I say the only reason people watch PBF fight is when he fights someone very popular (like DLH) or because people like to see him get KTFO.

    How could you say Mayweather isn't a draw anymore? He drew 300 thousand buys against a complete unknown in Baldomir, and then his fight after that was the biggest fight in PPV history. If anything he is a bigger draw then ever before.

    I can't tell you exact numbers, but I thought the brit fights had MUCH cheaper seats available than US fights. I liked how they had cheap seats for every day people to buy. Someone on here told me you could have gotten into Hatton-Tszyu in MEN for $75-US for some seats. For mega-fights in the US, the cheapest seats are often $350-US and floor seats can get over $1000-US.

    Hell, I payed $350 a seat to Juarez-Barrera II and $250 to see Vargas fight Castillejo. The first was a PPV fight, and I thought the seats were a great buy, even though the main event was pretty boring. The Vargas fight was a Boxing After Dark fight where Chi pulled out against Juarez and the title was yanked from Castillejo.

    Baldomir was like a Cindirella, people wanted to see if he could beat Mayweather,
    they been less interested to see if Mayeather can beat journeyman.

    Gatti was what drew big numbers to the PBF vs Gatti fight

    DLH was what drew big numbers to the PBF vs DLH fight

    How does the PPV for PBF vs Judah, and PBF vs Baldomir compare to PBF vs Gatti and DLH :deal

    Hatton has fans in the UK and the US - no doubt Floyd has fans in the UK, but only a fraction of Hatton's fanbase.

    I would even go as far saying that Hatton has more fans in the UK than PBF has in the US :hey

    Geez you can spin some **** - do you ever listen to yourself?

    Hatton probably has just as many, if not more, fans than PBF in the US.

    Hatton has a huge fanbase in the UK who would be willing to either attend the fight or get the PPV. Think of all the pubs and clubs in the UK who would get the PPV too :deal

    Compare Hatton's home crowds to PBFs home crowds...think about it, boy:yep

    Just try and get PBF's and Fiddy's balls out of your face and think independantly for once, you puppet :tong
