Ricky "Doing it for the people" Hatton

....

 

Of course this fight was for the people, it certainly wasn't for boxing fans.

His moronic Man City football fans are used to staying up to stupid o'clock to watch him battle guys like Juan Urango so staging a fight against an equally mediocre opponent at 10pm UK time is a slight improvement.

Of course true boxing fans couldn't give a **** where or when he fights as long as he takes on the best.

 

A bit out of order there mate, sure he has the Man City fan following but he is also one of the biggest draws in world boxing.

Its not often you will see guys like Tyson, MAB, Delahoya etc sitting ringside for a fight in the UK.

Im pretty sure that most of his fans outside the UK have never heard of Man City.

Whether you like Hatton or not he has brought boxing back into the mainstream in the UK and surely this is a good thing as it wasnt that long ago that the sport was going down the drain in regards to this.

 

Can't all be discerning smart arses like you fella, more's the pity eh

Or 'true boxing fans' either

Give yourself a pat on the back

 

We keep hearing this over & over.

 

Rubbish

56,000 in a stadium proves that

Who was the last to do this?

He has maintream popularity DESPITE terrestrial TV not wanting to know throughout the early 00's

The only reaon ITV started sniffing around boxing is because of the resurgence Hatton triggered

 

For **** sake some of you fanboys are so blinkered. The point I think flux was making is how can he be bringing boxing back to the mainstream when it's not available to everyone?

 

As if any Tom Dick or Harry couldn't go to the pub to watch. His Floyd fight did amazing PPV numbers.

Is Hatton popular or not? Give me a straight yes or no please.

 

Deluded

FACT

How many people have paid to watch Amir on PPV?

How many have travelled to Vegas to follow him?

You my friend are talking rubbish

 

You sound like a politican twisting the argument to suit your agenda.

 

Bollacks, the only reason ITV got back in bed with boxing was Amir Khan.

After the olympics he was a major draw and ITV thought they could make a few bob through advertising etc between rounds as everyone would be lining up to buy advert slots between rounds when a clean living lad like Amir was fighting.

 

Yeah, I'm the one who can't answer a straight question

 

Ok

Would more people tune in for Khan or Hatton?

 

Would he on ITV?

 

Joe Calzaghe? Millenium stadium? 50,000 fans?
Seriously, Hatton huggers act like he's the only guy who's ever drawn a crowd.
