Is Hatton bigger draw than Mayweather?

So, are we saying the draw is the person who makes the most money (PPV), or the person who wins the popularity contest?

Well, in negotiating terms, the person who makes the most money is the draw and thus gets the lion's share of the purse. For example, everyone was screaming that Cotto was a bigger draw than Mayweather. Yet when he fought a common opponent, Judah, he only did 200,000PPV buys. Mayweather did 375,000PPV buys with Judah. Who's the bigger draw? Well objectively, Mayweather. Given his 2.15PPV dollar fight with DLH who is better known to paying customers Hatton or Mayweather? Mayweather.

A way to answer this question is to ask yourself how many PPV buys would Hatton do with Malliganagi? How Many PPv buys woul Hatton have done with the "living legend" Castillo? How many PPV buys would Hatton have done with Baldomir before Mayweather beat him? I would say much less than 200,000 on all counts. And if Hatton had or ever does fight DLH he'll do less than Mayorga and DLh (900,000PPV).

As for Hatton filling up Wembley stadium, the only person he could do it with is Mayweather. Frankly, I don't believe it would happen even if he fought Mayweather.

Finally, being a draw doesn't mean that you have the most intensely loyal fans. We live in a technological age that allows people to watch from home. The fact that Hatton has a bunch of idiots spend a months salary to fly halfway around the world to watch him fight means he inspires mucho man love in england. That's all. Hell, neither of the venues in which Hatton fought Urango or Collazo even sold out. So, if Hatton was PPV worthy, in other words a big draw, HBO would have had him on PPV already. He's not, so they haven't. And I guarantee if he doesn't fight Mayweather Hatton's next fight won't be on PPV either.

 

Is Hatton a bigger draw? In a word, YES.

 

Has anyone gone back and rewatched the Hatton/Castillo fight? I watched it for a second time and found it impossible to get into the fight, the holding just ruins the flow of the fight. I'd always complain about how boring Mayweather is to watch, but after that match seeing Mayweather fight would be a breath of fresh air.:bbb

 

Mayweather.

They're all dying to see Hatton (or anyone for that matter) beat Mayweather.

It's simple, they want to see Mayweather lose. Hatton winning isn't the reason they are there. Everyone is waiting to see who will it be to dethrone the loudmouth Floyd.

 

In terms of loyal supporters?? ABSOLUTELY:good

From the perspective of the fight? Floyd's the favorite and the Champ "from the higher weight" 47, so he's seen as the lead.

It takes two to to TANGO, and one of the MAJOR reasons PBF has now maybe altered his RETIRMENT PLAN is because this fight is ONE of the largest financial opportunities vs OTHER OPPONENTS. :good He also see's it as very winnable.

Hope they get this right, pay em both, and wherever it HAPPENS?? Its a big boxing event:happy

 

MGM is Floyd's hometown, that is funny!!!

 

really says who ?? he hasn't sold anything out by his name only .. Floyd can still fight Shane , or Cotto and generate huge number .. True he will not generate these type of number with any old joe shmoe , but he is capable of generating huge number when placed with other names.

example

Floyd+Shane =Huge
Floyd+cotto= Huge
Floyd+Hatton =Huge

and depend if Margarito win his fight with William that would be another fight people would want to see ..

Anyone of the three welters weight ,shane , cotto or Margararito would be considered more credible then Hatton ..

It hatton who has limited choices no other fighter is going to generate the money he want and the name he want like Floyd.

 

No-one's got no damn evidence to suggest he could sell out Wembley, that's bias in the extreme and pure speculation, Ricky is not even that big a name in the uk, Beckham, Lewis Hamilton ect kick his ass in that department, he only get's noticed when he's close to a fight, other than that he's just another average Joe like Calzegihe!!.

And Floyd is no question the biggest draw in boxing next to Oscar, there's no doubt in my mind 'the world awaits' wouldn't have done anywhere near the numbers it did without Floyd, and that makes him a big draw, Floyd is the man of the moment right now and the haters need to somehow learn to except that .

 

Floyd's fight with Judah put up better numbers than all of his ppv fights except the fight with Oscar. Also, if you do some research you'll see that Judah, Oscar, and Gatti all put up their best ppv numbers when the fought Floyd. People might not love Floyd like they do Oscar, and Hatton, and Gatti. However, people want to see him fight(even if they just wanna see him get knocked out) which is why he is a big draw.

 

I just wonder how many fans would follow mayweather to england for this fight :blood

Now how many brits would follow hatton to the usa for this fight :good

Now basicly the gate would be far bigger in england then in the states as well, obviously hatton is the bigger draw.

Lets not forget he isn't arrogant, or rude he comes across as a genuinely nice guy and floyds an arsehole :thumbsup

 

Floyd is a bigger draw.. It doesn't matter because neither man is big enough to be considered a draw on their own.

People paid for Iron Mike to watch him knock somebody the **** out. It didn't matter who it was.

 

bull**** :deal

I can't remember the exact figures, but the PPV figures diminished from Gatti fight through to the Baldomir fight.

 

Everyone knows Hatton in UK.
My mum calls Mayweather Merryweather

 

My girlfriend called him Merryweather as well last night!
