Money, PPV's, and world wide recognition? I gotta go with DLH. Yeah Hatton can fill seats, IN THE UK!!!
Factor in that you can get about 60,000 dollars for a single pound and that 'IN THE UK' money rather mounts up.
bat the mathamatecian!!!!! thats ur new name. LOL. good stuff my man.
Hahaha..... Yeah. Try compare to the US and ODLH would have to attract 1,250,000 ppl, to equal the domestic drawingpower of Mikkel Kessler.
Money, PPV's, and world wide recognition? I gotta go with DLH. Yeah Hatton can fill seats, IN THE UK!!!
and the us too ...if de la hoya went to teh uk he couldnt fill shit ..hatton brought all teh people 2 vegas remember?
not even close ....hatton is the biggest single draw in sports ...no other single person can bring that many ppl anywhere .....he is the most popular fighter in the history of boxing without a doubt ..
Since the poll is regarding the 2 fighters in their respective countries it's gotta be Hatton. World-wide it's ODLH hands-down. He will be able to attract a huge crowd wherever.
Ricky Hatton made 1,5 millon viewers in the UK stay up to close to 5 am to watch him fight.
Ricky Hatton took 30,000 people to Las Vegas 2 weeks before Christmas to watch him fight.
No comparison.
Hatton basically gave tickets away for last nights fight.
Jeah, 100. Oscar had to give more than 1000 tickets for his fight against Forbes with tickets starting at 20$. So fuck up.
Factor in the size of their countries and it's not even close.
Factor in the size of countries and add Mikkel Kessler to this equation and we have a no-contest.
How many ppl live in GB? 60,000,000? And 55,000 watched. This gives 0,0917% of the population watched the event live.
For the Kessler Andrade fight there were 25,000 watching. 5,500,000 ppl live in Denmark. This gives 0,4545% of the population watched it live.
In other words. Should Hatton equal Kessler's drawing power he would have to attract a whopping 275,000!!!
and know one else could fight abroad and bring that amount of fans 2 support him. Oscar may get bigger ppv numbers but lets say he went to fight in norway i cant imagine shit loads of yanks goin over 2 c him fight.
Hatton or Oscar?
I voted Hatton. Oscar may be the biggest draw overall when considering the population pool he can pull from, but Hatton is a sport icon in England, and loved by nearly everyone.
If we talk proportionally then Hatton is the winner by far, but as far as actually PPV numbers oscar is better, Seats sold Hatton is better wtc..
i mean overall. ppv, seats sold, etc....
