how many ppv buys did Malinaggi make again? the ring title is an imaginery title that is accepted by the public as lineage, it has no more prestige than P4P #1 which is also accepted by the public as best fighter in the world. Pacman has fought 14 fights in the U.S with numerous PPVs, Hatton has only fought 1 ppv in the U.S against the #1 P4P fighter at the time. Pac is clearly more known around the world and more exciting to watch than Hatton is, and real boxing fans knows it.
I agree Hatton has become greedy,but he is the man of the divison and why should he give anyone else a shot and let them have the lions share? I think it is debatable whether Pac is more popular in the US.Either way both are popular and this fight would do over well 1million buys in the UK alone
I have no doubt he is... the guy has fought numerous PPV fights in the US against legendary boxers. He is a 2x boxer of the year and currently the #1 P4P best boxer in the world. And to Top that he trains in Hollywood. :good PAC beat Goldenboy the US boxing superstar! the last thing americans remember bout Hatton was when he hit his head on the ring post against floyd.
You're clearly of the opinion that Pac is more exciting which is fair enough,you're entitled to that opinion. Hatton is one of the biggest money makers in boxing today and in the UK,he could sell tickets and PPVs fighting anyone.He brings more to the table than Pac in a fight at 140 that is a fact.
Btw the picture and the sentence are wrong... The sox excuse are from JMM.... the gloves excuse are for EM....
You have a point but I'm just saying it is debatable.Its not clear one way or the other for me.Both guys have huge fanbases worldwide so there is no real way of knowing. Also,American fans ought to remember Hatton destroying Paulie only 2 months ago
A more respected lightweight as in Casamayor? If Pac fought and defeated Casa, aren't you going to say he defeated an OLD and SHOT fighter? It find it amusing that when Pac beats a 29 or 30 yr old top p4p fighter, people here say he beat a past prime or shop-worn fighter yet when JMM beat a 37 yr old Casa, he defeated a respectable titlist!atsch
