Didn't PBF vs Hatton outsell Hatton vs Pac so I think PBF must be bigger over here. Not by much though, PBF vs Hatton was just an easier sell because of they were polar opposites and there was a lot of trash talking.
People who say PBF must be popular in the UK just because he beat hatton are fools. That's like saying the Portugese Football team must be massive in the UK since they knocked England out of the 2006 world cup because 20 million people watched that game.
About 5% of the people who bought the Mayweather-Hatton fight will buy Floyd-JMM at the most, add another 2.5% who might buy it for the Matthew Hatton-Zab Judah fight and you have a maximum of 7.5% of the Hatton-Floyd numbers which is what 150,000. That's the maximum though, I think it'll do less than 100,000 myself.
Floyd vs Pac will do better though, at least twice as many but this fight is seen by most as way too one-sided.
5%. i doubt it. itl be alot more than that.

Because all British fans lost their everything during Hatton's fight including their houses.. :D
lol... If it were a PBF-Pac it would sell. Pac inherits Hatton`s quest to defeat Mayweather. And Pacquiao did declare his Scottish bloodline, fighting for freedom. I don`t know if that was a joke though.
no one would buy it anyway, most dont even know who either is and dont give a shit enough to buy it even if they do
il buy the fight, and not only that, il get a few of the lads round to my house and stay up til 4 5 or 6am to watch it!
Mayweather is big here, more popular than Pac imo. The Mayweather-Hatton fight was huge, everyone was watching it, whereas i don't know many who watched Pac-Hatton.
His fight will sell, but i don't know if it will beat Hatton-Pac since Hatton is bigger than Mayweather over here and nobody knows who Marquez is.
Mayweather said it's going to be on regular Sky Sports which is probably what will happen. Lots of people saw May when he knocked out Ricky Hatton so they will watch it! Apparently he got thousands of emails and questions when on Sky Sports News yesterday so he does have fans here and he was getting mobbed while in North London so people know who he is! Beating Big Show at Wrestlemania gave him some good exposure!! lol.
Surely it will be box office
I hope not unless they're crazy, I dont pay for stupid PPV not hatton's or Khan's, Last PPV i brought was when Naz went over to the states and the buzz was over the top.
if this lands on Sky but not Sky Box Office will people who aren't already sky customers still be able to get it?
Nah you have to subscribe SG..
But there will be streams galore and torrent downloads

if they are subscribed to sky and their sports package.
um..my post was about hatton..the man said his popularity was overated..so take a second and read...please
was responding to your other ones, that post was the closest to hit reply to. sorry for the confussion, im lazy.
this fight will only be bough buy hardcore fans if it is on ppv marquez is unknown to the casual fan almost and most people recognise floyds talen but think he is a donut.
lmfao..man it never stops with you...the man had thousands come to vegas..thousands
stop loving floyd for one second and listen. Casual boxing fans know who Mayweather is. They know he is damn good. They know he beat Hatton. They know his dad trained Hatton. So far your correct.
Now heres the difficult bit for u to swallow: They couldnt give a shit about him. He doesnt even have the hate here to make people wanna pay to watch him get KOd. They just want to see Pac v Floyd. They just paid 16 quid to watch Hatton get KTFO in 2 rounds. They arent gonna be to eager to pay for another one sided beat down.
Sorry. Not everyone loves/hates your boy.
