Ricky Hatton Sells 50,000 Tickets

The Brits get over excited by anything, they are easy to sell a product to. 99% have "mug" plastered on their foreheads

 

wrong, we support our teams/man/wpmen wether they win lose or draw, we dont give up on then because of one defeat.

 

This is our culture...not just boxing. We **** on our musical talents too.

 

Easy to sell a product to?

No - easy to capitalise on an already popular market - not so easy to establish a new product OR maintain its popularity long term.

Example-

Amir Khan is still to satisfy his critics;
Naseem Hamed packed out stadiums but now you have to order his DVDs online;
Hatton could sell a bottle of his sweat for £25.00 a pop!

Nothing wrong with supporting your fighter/football team/favourite band etc

 

most probably 49,000 sold to ticket tout agency`s.

 

They wouldnt care if Hatton was fighting Mr Blobby. Thats why there Hatton fans. Its like a day out for the family for them.

 

Kind of what i was thinking. I wonder if Hatton has gypsy bloodlines.

 

More like a day out for the lads.

And whats wrong with that?

 

Absolutely nothing. Knock your self out.:thumbsup

 

I think more fans have bought tickets to see the turnbuckle rather than Lazcano

 

I think the turnbuckle has more chance of a victory than Lazcano anyways...

 

I'll bet youve never heard that one before have you?

 

If he was allowed, Hatton could maybe break the 132'000 record of Julio Cesar Chavez in Mexico.

 

I feel bad for Lazcano, its almost certain he is getting knocked out, but at least he is making good cash with his reputation of the good fighter that can't make it big.

 

Thats a BIG number!! Not sure if he'd be able to get that many outside of the UK.

Think if a rematch with PBF or maybe a mega fight with ODH/Pac was held in the UK (and there was a stadium big enough) then possibly he may get close. But I think 70,000ish would be about the most he could get otherwise.
