CASTILLO-HATTON: Think this one sells out?

[Kball15]

I think it'll be a great fight environment. Mexicans love Castillo, and they are huge fight fans so i think they come out to see the fight.

And Hatton has a huge following, so expect 3-4 thousand of them to fly out considering the opponent.


So i think a very nice crowd of 10-11 thousand shows up, but thats not very close to a sell out.

And considering they are calling this one a superfight, which is isnt, but still this is a fight that probably should sell out.

And it probably would have if HBO never decided to go throught with that URANGO + NGOUDJO card and went straight to the fight.


Couple questions for you to think about:
Will this sell out?
Who will this crowd be in favor of ?(could be an even split, which is awsome)
What took so long for this fight to made? Coulda happened in May or March
And, obviously, who is gonna win and how?

I'm not to sure because I havent really seen anything out their except the commercials on Hbo anouncing the fight, Their doing a poor job on selling this fight.

Hatton will have more like 8-10 thousand fans out there !!!

only 3 thousand fans flew out for his urango fight.

I think a lot more Hatton fans will fly out for this one though, cause its a much bigger fight against a much better opponent. And Hatton will need the support.

But 8 is way to high. lol

Im expecting a raucous crowd, but nothing near sold out. 4-5 thousand empties. thoughts?

i don't think the general boxing public(the ones with the most money) are in tuned enough to realize this may be a foty candidate.
both guys love fighting on the inside.both guys know how to fight dirty.
both guys have iron jaws.both guys have mad heart.
like ive predicted before, both guys will need catscans after this one.

this definitely has FOTY potential. But I dont think it will sellout because of the high prices for tickets. I would have loved to be in Vegas for this one. Hopefully the winner of this one takes on Cotto next.

If Castillo wins then i think a Cotto match is possible.

But Hatton better not go up to 147. He is an undersized JUNIOR WELTERWEIGHT, going up in weight to fight Cotto would be like a junior welterweight fighting a junior middleweight-middleweight.

It wouldnt be fair.

Oh, I just read that the THOMAS AND MACK CENTER holds 19,000!!!! Forget a sellout, hopefully this fight sells half that many seats!

If Hatton wins in a fight of the year candidate, this will be excellent news for his career.

I just hope the crowd is half of what MSG was last Saturday.
