    Where would Hatton v mayweather make more money, U.S. or U.K.?

    In Limey Land this would be one of the biggest fights they have had in a while and Ricky Hatton is a house hold name. This could sell out a soccer stadium, and would be on the caliber of how Mayweather v De La Hoya was in the U.S.
    However in the U.S. many people who watched Floyd fight on Cinco De Mayo would not pay to see him fight again and for the most part the general public doesn't know who the heck Hatton is. So I think this makes more money in the U.K. what do y'all think??

          More in the Las Vegas than UK because of Hosting fee's paid for by the Casino's.

              Yeah, casino's would make a ton because its a MEGA fight. Hatton will get 10k Brits and the Casino's themselves by big blocks of the best seats to reward and lure in there best customers for that weekend.

              You guys are also down playing PBF's draw. He has been in 2 very high profile fights against Gatti and DLH. The Zab fight also shows that he can draw fans since Zab was coming off a loss.

                  Honestly, even though I said what I said.. If the fight is all the way live for America, without no delay. The fight will sell pretty nice with PPV. The arena will be sold out, big crowd. Mayweather has a good 10-20 thousand fans. With Hatton, the fans wiling to fly over, he has about the same. Maybe more.. Either way.. The fight would make more money in the U.S. Especially since, PPV, merchandice, American endorsements, ads.. so on and so forth. Only thing that the U.K. has is the live gate. But that's not somehting to truly worry about.

                  In my opinion, more money.....

                  U.S.A. > U.K.

                    The majority of the crowd who came to see Hatton fight Castillo were from the UK. So Hatton would sellout quickly in the UK.
