Bigger Draw/Following.......Hatton or Floyd?

[deevel79]

Manchester would have more people in attendance, but it doesn't mean it can outbid a Vegas casino for the site fee.

Casinos can afford very expensive site fees because the live gate is only part of the money they receive when there's a big fight. If 10,000 British fans come to Vegas for the fight, think of how much money the hotel gets from the reservations, restaurants, ********, etc...

I don't know how much the MEN arena makes for a Hatton fight but it would have to put up a lot of money to outbid a Vegas casino for the site fee.

You have to remember that thier money trumps ours almost 2-1.

What do you mean by that? Money is money. Its the same all over. The cost of living may be cheaper in some places but money is the same. I know your probally talking about how they say 16mil is what 8mil is to us but its still the same amount. It just depends on where you have the money at. If I have $200 and then I go there, they will change it to $400

HAtton has a much bigger fan base and those fans are much more dedicated than PBF's.....

If Mayweather fought in the UK ..how many fans would come over.....About 10.. Thats about how many he could get in his private jet...

Hatton could probably take 10,000 - 15,000 to the States against Mayweather...depending on where the fight was...

He has a bigger fan base becasue he is ...
More exciting to watch, (if you've watch more than his last couple of fight, before Castillo)

Has a great personality out side the ring and shows alot of respect to people and other fighters and appreciates his fans..

Always puts 100% effort even when things are getting tough...

Always tries to put on a good show for the fans..sometimes to his detriment..


The two simply do not compare......Hence the discrepancy in Fan base..

PS......Bollocks Collazo won Hatton....it was UD...don't know what fight you were watching....
Keep mentioning that, I'll just mention the first Castillo fight for PBF..... Which he lost in reality....but hey

Hatton has a bigger domestic fan base, mayweather is more well known where it matter the USA, which is why hatton signed to HBO, to get more fans where it matters.

Now ask yourself.

Who is HBO's Number one guy after De La Hoya? Mayweather

Who is a proven HBO PPV headliner? Mayweather

Who took part in the biggest PPV of all time? Mayweather (Yes the majority of it was De La hoya, but they wanted to see him fight floyd, which is why Mayorga vs DLH did not do 2 million homes)

Who is FREE TO VIEW on HBO? Hatton

Think that says alot about who is the bigger draw.

Floyd is the bigger draw, Hatton has a huge British following but overall, Floyd is more recognized

Sorry I thought this was a thread on the biggest fan base...Not who is the best known....

after all PBF is from your country and has been fighting there for a little longer than Hatton..
Maybe that could be something to do with it..

We'er on about fan base...
Most people just want to see the arrogant twat filled in..

Hey noob, how can boxing fans follow someone they don't know. Floyd=more recognized, more fans. Hatton=recognized (not more than Floyd) but has a die hard UK following

[mick66]

Just because he's recognised..doesn't mean those people are fans...NOOOOB..

I know who PBF is........I'd watch him fight....
But I'm no fan..

Its the most recognised fighters that tend to be the biggest draws no?

The topic is bigger draw/following hatton or floyd

If hatton has such a huge following worldwide and in the US,

Why is he not US PPV?

Answer: because He doesnt have a huge following in the US or worldwide imo.

Manchester? Yes.

America? No.

My opinion.
