    What are you on about?

    I live in the UK, hatton aint as big as you think over here lol. People make it seems as if the whole country supports him, i can tell you alot of it is a northern thing, down here in London (I live on the surrey/london border) hatton has less fans i think.

    The Uk is smaller and has less quality fighters than america, of course hatton has more fans domestically than floyd, i never said floyd had a bigger domestic fan base than hatton.

    But your an idiot for implying floyd cant sell out or that he cant draw, fact is, he does draw.

    Here are the facts, USA is where the real money is made, otherwise hatton would not have signed for HBO, HBO is where the real money is made,

    Who is on PPV? Mayweather

    Who'se fight are FREE in the US? Hatton.

    So in the US, who is the bigger PPV draw?

    Mayweather.

                Hatton has had only 3 fights in the U.S, so of course he wouldnt be as recognized as Floyd here. Thats the reason for Hatton turning Floyd down when Floyd called him out. Floyd wouldve tried to **** Hatton at the negotiating table because Hatton was a virtual unknown at the time. Fighters like him and Cotto will soon overshadow Floyd with thier crowd pleasing styles. Floyd couldnt get 50 fans from Grand Rapids to go watch him fight in Vegas, let alone 11k like Hatton just did.

                    Floyd would never 'whoop Hatton's ass'. Hatton fights too much like a prime Castillo for that to happen...and in 24 rounds with Castillo, Floyd never whooped much as at all. He won in a boring fashion.
