I'm leaning towards the hatton fight but americans constitute a huge chunk of ppv numbers and I dont have a feel on the casual american boxing fan if they'd pay to watch two non-americans fight. they might though for a pbf fight.
Hatton needs to get in line and be real he is only big in the UK! Period! he has NOT had a big win against a top tier guy since Koysta and a bunch of bums before that! He is the ultimate b level fighter.. Hatton loses against the best period...
This was the plan all along. Pacquiao a well known name in boxing but not a overall household name. After he fought and defeated Oscar De La Hoya, one of the biggest names in boxing history, Pacquiao becomes an even bigger name. This sets up the fight with PBF and PAC and is some how going to be promoted my Golden Boy. I believe this is going to be one of the biggest fights in boxing history and is for sure going to be the most bought PPV of all time!
BTW does anyone have any good gifs from the PAC-DLH fight? thanks!
Mayweather would be a huge draw now. He is popular as hell and has crossed over into a star. I think you need to understand that Mayweather before DLH is not Mayweather after DLH. Both Pac and Mayweather have been seen by millions and millions on the highest stage. Ricky Hatton was viewed by millions losing to Mayweather. Pac V Mayweather would do about 1.2 million and Pac V Hatton about 750k.
add your 750000 to the 2 million hatton v pac would do in the uk and u have a clear winner
To me PBF-Pacman (I am talking just US of course because I think Pacman-Hatton would do great in the UK and make money on the US end) .
PBF-Pacman has a very good storyline to it that people eat up, Hero vs. Villian. In boxing good versus evil is the best possible storyline you can have and to me there is no better villian then Floyd and no better hero then Manny. If promoted right and they play those roles it could be huge.
Floyd IS a ppv draw as he stated after he demolished Gatti(plus with Gatti being a club fighter comments help sell buys) and the 24/7 lead up to his fight with Oscar was the shining moment as well! PBF and his crew help sell that fight!
People think everyone bought that fight to see Oscar ko PBF. BUT the Hip hop community and a large urban market bought the ppv to see their guy PBF kick Oscars ass...
Floyd was everywhere, talk shows, Dancing with stars, WWF, videos etc... And the talk on ALL web forums(love him or hate him)..
Just as the Hatton vs Floyd fight PBF is a star whether he gets his credit or not! He made that 24/7 and he kicked Ricky's ass in the process... I betcha a fight between PBF and Pacman will do at least 1.5 - 2 million buys.
Plus to have the P4P kings fight it out! Is rare!!! Never done!! Either was it goes it is going to be an easy fight! Pac easily whips Hatton or Floyd easily whips Pacman... Pick your poison...
Mayweather isn't a huge draw, people need to understand that. Pac vs Hatton will be the bigger fight.
Both of these fighters will have a country behind them.
Mayweather will have few fans on the internet.
hatton/pac will produce the most money and the most ppv #s.
Agreed....

Hatton v Pac easily, Hatton v Mayweather sold 1.4 million PPVs in the UK and that started at 4am. Now the UK don't get many big fights and a Hatton fight against the P4P #1 at Wembley infront of 100,000, would cause alot of media attention. This fight will sell over 2 million maybe even close to 3.
Pac-Hatton. Pacquiao is bigger than Hatton in America after the DLH fight. Floyd has gotten bigger since the Hatton fight with the WWE thing and the Hatton fight itself made him more known to the casual fan. Plus Pac-Hatton would be in Wembley at a strange time in the US.
Gotta be mayweather-pacquiao
im sure the hatton fight would get alot of buys but the story of mayweather-pacquiao is just to good... the former p4p best comes out of retirement to fight the current p4p best. And both their names were on big fights with oscar.
