      You guys are silly for thinking that the big money comes from the fans. The big money comes from casinos and big market sponsors. And where are they? America. Props to Hatton for having a large fanbase, but even he was smart enough to come to America to get big-time money.

          True,true,true....

          Which is why if they ever fight it will be in America...and at a time suitable for us.
          Which is also why Hatton must be the smartest Englishman,at least smarter than those on this forum...he knows he must come to the USA to not only make the real big bucks,but also to be a true world champion.

          Hats off to him for that...unlike Calzone,who does nothing but talk trash and has the stones of a flea.

            Personally I think Ricky could fill a 85,000+ Wembley stadium to fight Mayweather and I see no reason for Floyd not to take the money especially as its £1 = $2.05 meaning huge cash for the man that likes to throw $100 bills at crowds in nightclubs.

            Thoughts?
            If all the money is in the UK, why is Hatton fighting in the US?

                Alan Minter's fights had 5-10 million people watching. Hatton's biggest-ever viewing figure is 350,000

                  You saying it was bigger viewing than ODH and Floyd , or you mean it was free to air , because free to air dont compare to PPV .

                  What was the live gate at Minters ?

                    Uk,so Mayweather can embarrass his ass over there and he can rub it in there faces that he went there and did it. Sounds good to me.

                      And dont get out alive lol ,, thats the thing Mayweather would be hated by fight time with the **** he will spray Hatton with during the buildup , he will have them Brits frenzied to kill him after he slaughters Ricky , they prolly storm the ring by the 6th round .
