My point was they stayed as popular as they were due to there personalitys.

Drawing power = more money. Make the answer obvious for 90% of boxers.

BULLSHIT :bs2: DLH lost his biggest fights, Hatton lost his biggest fight. Even after these losses they still sold as well as ever.

It's no coincidence that most of the most popular fighters got where they are by personality rather then skills.

It's nowhere near as big as the Mayweather fight was coverage wise in the UK. Also the casual fans aren't predicting 1st round KO's like many were about Mayweather without even seeing him fight.

Top 50 now for me. If Mayweather is fought @ a catch weight which he wins and then somehow gets a 7 weight world champ and becomes top 20

Has anyone actually confirmed this will be on PPV over here? I was thinking the other day this is gonna be on PPV seeing as it's been getting attention on sky sports news 2 months before the fight, most fights are lucky to even get a mention on the day of the fight.

Was a waste of time, left at 5.30. Would of been nice for someone to come out and let everyone know what was going on.

Nice subjective article on British boxers for once by someone i assume is British themselves? Everyone in this country is so blinded by patriotism that they think Hatton/Kahn actually have a chance against the top p4p fighters.

Funny you mention those 2 together seeing as they weigh about the same now.

How much did each fighter make then?

Why does this article say that DLH is the lineal champ at 154 yet in the FMJ article it's only 'hazy' that Mayweather is the lineal champ?

Surely Hatton is worth more?

Do you think this bloke would actually take a load in the mouth off Manny if he was asked? He actually seems to have some sort of mental problem.

Ahh i misunderstand that then, cheers for clearing it up. The lineal claim does seem to be more and more difficult to work out due to nobody wanting to stay in the same weight class for more then 2/3 fights anymore

It's some of the people in here that give English posters a bad name. Hatton will never be on the same level as Mayweather, ever. No ref or trainer will ever change that either. For the record i'm English and 99% of people over here thought Hatton was going to knock him out. Funnily enough about 98% of the people hadn't even seen Mayweather fight.
