BTW i was not talking about popularity i was talking about the Following which Hatton Received. I.e 20,000+ following him to the US. If you look at the make up of all the people who followed him to the US, in my opinion 90% of them would be White, far right nationalists who aren't even boxing fans.
its a proven FACT that floyd ALWAYS OUTSELLs pac.
so floyd would draw higher numbers than pac. these are facts that cant be disputed
Do you have any figures of Mayweathers attendance record?
I'm not sure how well Floyd will draw at Jerryworld. Dallas isn't a huge boxing town, and Jerryworld was the worst venue, to watch boxing live, I've ever been to (seats were simply too far away, and we had 'good' seats).
If Floyd fight in D, he better fight a Mexican with a strong following imo.
Do you think Ortiz is capable of getting the Mexicans behind him? They seem wary of him for some reason

Thanks for the figures. I think it's pretty clear that Floyd being the American fighter will continue to dominate the numbers.
Naseem Hamed and Frank Bruno were white I suppose?
Wayne Rooney>>> cheated on wife but media still builds him up as an 'english hero' whereas Ashley cole has his face rubbed in the dirt by the media. Frank bruno was labled a mad man by the sun when he got caught doing drugs but with Ricky hatton its all buried under the carpet. This country will never allow coloured folks to prosper unless they act white (i.e Lenny Henry, Ainsley Harriot)
dumb TS can't even spell skeptical
scep·ti·cal (sk p t -k l). adj. Variant of skeptical. sceptical archaic and US, skeptical . adj. 1. not convinced that something is true
Go back to school. bet you feel stupid now.
i dont really know what to make of the TS but i doubt hell return to his own thread posting/replying arguing, hes like an arsonist after setting fire of the house hell not flee but stay around far enough not to be suspected he did the evil work but near enough to admire it. dang flamer
Still here. Still admiring. No hate to anyone, just a theory.
Did you not read the title? It says theory. The definition of theory is as follows
"A supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something"
Hence, this is my theory. simples.
And make you look real f*cking dumb in the process, what fighter in their right mind would ever agree to that, esp a young fighter with their whole career ahead
Erm... a fighter who already has two losses and two draws on his record. Ortiz isn't in it for the glory, He is in it for the money. Just like 95% of other fighters in the Boxing 'industry'
Are you retarded or something? His fight with Dirrell in Nottingham did 11 thousand or something along those lines.
11,000 is nowhere near 30,000. Kessler averages 30,000 in Denmark where he is as big a celebrity as Obama. Froch will do no more than 20,000 IN MY OPINION....
HAHA
Some of this is true..But 2 things you got wrong, EVERYBODY is bashing Zab, and mostly non Khan fans. I don't agree with fighter bashing at all, that's what's cool about sherdog, they ban the bashers. But you gotto agree, this is a lame move by Zab unless he is just thinking about feeding his family and not boxing in general.
Feed his family? I think he should have that covered by now.
Just as they have with Kell Brook who is struggling to sell out leisure centres in sheffield.
Froch has never sold more than 8,000 Tickets (for his fight v pascal in nottingham)
He doesn't appeal to the general public in the same way a hatton, calzaghe or khan does. Even Khan has never sold an arena bigger than 20,000 and Froch has no way a bigger pubic appeal than Khan.
stop thinking with your Bollocks and start thinking with your brain. MUG
Golden Boy were upset at the treatment of Khan by Sky and now you can expect many more big golden boy fights going the way of Primetime. Perhaps Primetime can become subscription based sometime soon if they continue getting decent fights on a regular basis.
