    Now they've been in with a draw like Mayweather, I suspect we'll be seeing both Hatton and DLH doing some decent numbers. Losing to Pretty Boy is a great way to make a name for yourself; the PPV power of Money Mayweather is infectious. I even suspect some people will have heard of WWE now Floyd has graced their shows.

    For the record, I'm not a Floyd Hatter. I've started to warm to him ever since his wrestling adventures, since it shows that he doesn't take himself too seriously. If you just treat the Money Mayweather persona as an act, it becomes hilarious and entertaining rather than annoying.

    He was being sarcastic and no Hatton wasn't the only draw and if Mayweather was totally nothing when he fought DLH and DLH made it all then why didn't ANY of DLH's other fights break PPV records?
    Baldomir/PBF made 350k on a **** poor undercard with PBF doing 95% of the sales and Cotto/Mosley(to big names) made 400k just 50k more. Gatti/Mayweather made 350k, compare that with the rest of the stars of today. It's like saying Tyson/Lewis was 100% Mike Tyson, of course Tyson brought the most but that doesn't mean that Lewis brought nothing, Lewis definitely helped. You're either a hater or just being foolish. :good

    Let him wallow in pitiful ignorance. Money Mayweather, who knows all there is to know in boxing (especially his awesome drawing power and ability to bring boxing into the mainstream) knows what it's all about. DLH and Hatton knew what it was about as well, which is why both are actively pursuing what the public wants: Mayweather-DLH II, III and IV, and Mayweather-Hatton II and III in Manchester and Buckingham Palace.

    Actually Hatton had already set several records before the Mayrunner fight in England, they are nuts about him in Manchester.

    Hatton wasn't well known in Manchester prior to the Mayweather exhibition. Until Hatton was fighting someone well-known in England (Pretty Boy Floyd) he wasn't really a public figure in Manchester. That's the Floyd Factor I was talking about.
