When was the last time floyd mayweather fought out of country? So there wouldn't be any need for any of his fans to catch a plane to another country, but I bet you he gets people from all over the united states to watch him fight.

Attendance-wise, he's up there. But the Klitschko's sell 50-70k without breaking a sweat. Arthur Abraham, Mikkel Kessler are all pretty big ticket sellers in Germany, Denmark respectively. Chavez Jr, Canelo.
There's also Japanese boxers who sell a lot of tickets. Devon Alexander is a big ticket seller in St Louis.
Mayweather and Pacquiao sell out tickets pretty quick and they probably sell the most expensive tickets. You never see the revenue for these 50-70k tickets sold by the Klitschko's, that's cause they're probably cheap.
Tickets start 60euro for nosebleeds....... thats euro, stop thinking that other countries economies are shiet..... Klitschko's are by far #1 draw in Boxing as to the # of people they can bring out against bums in DIFFIRENT COUNTRIES, look at Poland,Switzerland, Germany where they sold out to a huge crowd.....
but I guess $77USD for nosebleeds as cheapest tickets = cheap?
Your national bias is showing huge time, but I get it. According to you everyone outside of North America lives in a cave and they earn 10 cents a day
A big draw is not only how many fans come to see you. How about how many fans dish out $50 or 25 euro for your PPVs? Can Hatton-Senschenko be on SKY PPV and do at least 500k buys?
Haye-Harrison did 600k according to unofficial reports (Sky don't release official numbers and Haye - Valuev did around 800k)
The UK get behind their sportsmen as a whole a lot more than the U.S (maybe it's because it's so fragmented in the U.S?) Hatton's comeback on PPV vs. anyone will do fairly decent numbers
I really think if Floyd fought in the UK he would do HUGE numbers. Bigger then what Hatton did here
If Floyd was from the UK then I wouldn't be surprised if he did better numbers on Sky than he would on HBO. Sky basically has a monopoly on pretty much most sports.
But I guarantee he wouldn't do bigger numbers than Hatton right now as an American.
