rick hatton
antonio margarito
pacquaio
K brothers
cotto
anyone that you think has a very good fan base past or present, i know i have missed loads. and those mentions were from the top of my head.
Hatton easily.
This is the only acceptable answer amongst active boxers. Every other answer is just fellating your own country or favorite boxer.
Truth is no one can match how Hatton's fans act in an arena nor the amount of them willing to travel anywhere to see him. It's nuts.
Ricky Hatton all the way!He brings 30000 fans over for Floyd fight and sold 1.5 millions PPVs in UK and Ireland now you cant beat that he is the PPV attraction F*** Floyd!
Ricky Hatton hands down. ANyone who can take 30,000 fans from the UK to the States for a fight is amazing. No other fighter wwould bring a followin of 25k plus if they fought Hatton in the UK.
yeah ppl just cant understand the drawing power he has
30k from a country 1/5 the size of the us
that would be like mayweather or another big american fighter bringin 120k ppl over 2 the europe

i watched a documantry on ricky hatton and he took 25,000 fans to las vagas, with only five thousand tickets to the fight being sold to british fans. that is something to be admired by and pro boxer. he takes at least 10,000 fans to the weigh-in alone.
football hooligans? due to football being the most popular sport in britain and around the world it is very hard to be a british boxer without having football supporters in the same crowd. im pretty sure that hatton fans are the loudest and most passionate come fight night.
i agree theyre was alotta pac fans theyre not so much floydd fans @ the floyd fight
but alotta filipinos and u could not hear any of them
every time they tried 2 cheer they were instantly drown out
I would agree with Ricky Hatton. Not sure if anyone else even comes close.
yeah im not bein a hatton hugger but i truly have been 2 all the major fights in the past 5 yrs and no one comes close i was in shock the 1st hatton weigh in i went 2
im like theres 12000 ppl in here
FOR THE WEIGH IN !
theyre were hundreds and hundreds of ppl in the casinos of vegas chanting " we aint got no tickets"
they fkew from uk with out ant tickets 2 the fight !
thts just crazy
