Was Mayweather-Hatton one of the best promoted/build up/atmosphere for a fight?

DoubleMM

Everything about this fight was great.

24/7 Mayweather-Hatton was the best of this series. It was vintage floyd, trash talking, giving the finger to fans, and the loveable Hatton giving the trash talk back.

The promotion and anticipation for this fight was unreal.

The weigh - in was action backed. Hatton fans with their chants and everything.

I just watched some youtube videos of the atmosphere for the fight, it looked truly amazing. One of a lifetime. I wish I had went.

Yes but only because of the Brits who made it happen.

that was all hatton right there, big ups to the british people, lol, the british made this atmosphere and they made this event bigger than it shoulda been, mayweather was a b-side of this great event

Theres only one Ricky Hatton

A world-class British fighter who has a solid Northern fanbase, you're gonna get the same thing. We need more!!

Yes, it might have been the best build up. Hatton had a massive working class fanbase (even though he was born middle class) so every plumber, joiner and painter was turning up in Vegas.

He was born in a council estate in Manchester. His dad laid carpets. Definitely a working class guy.

This . .

Hatton was definitely the A-side. All the celebrities were wanting to meet him and ****. .

That's one of hte onyl fights where I love watching the atmosphere 5-10 minutes before the fight. . All the English fans chanting. .

ALthough it was disrespectful for them to boo our anthem. . . But whatever, made the atmosphere even more tense.

Great event. . . Haven't had one like that since IMO. . .
