    FOXSports.com: What do you see happening after this fight for yourself?


    FM: I have no idea. I'm not thinking about anything other than destroying this guy on the 8th.


    I gotta love Floyd for comments like this.:lol:I will be suporting Hatton.
    I wont begrudge him his victory if he deserves it!

    They have come to see hatton beat the arrogant arsehole that is pbf. Big Reg if mayweather fought abroad against an non englishmen would he bring over 10000 fans like hatton did against castillo.

    Vegas is the attraction. Boxing is just a side attraction for the people who are coming over. If the fight was in somewhere like Portland ,Oregon.. one man and a dog would be flying out .

    This is what is commonly referred to as a red herring. It serves to divert attention attention away from the topic at hand, and doesn't serve to disprove the origional theory. Simply put, Mayweather's ability to have fans travel overseas to see him fight have nothing to do with why British fans are coming in droves to see this fight.

    Another thing, the paid attendance for the Hatton/Castillo fight was under 10,000(the arena fits almost 20K). Brits had unlimited access to tickets. If 10,000 came overseas to see Hatton fight, why wouldn't they buy tickets to the fight?

    There will be far more fans that traveled across the Atlantic Ocean and nearly all the way across America to cheer for Hatton, then Mayweather has for his own hometown fight.

    Maywaether's own Hometown don't give a damn about him, it is kind of sad.
