Everyone knows that the Casinos is where all the money comes from along with PPV sales. ****in, tickets dont matter much. Hatton just wants the whole England to come. Like I said, it would impress me one time for him or Calzaghe to have 1 fight where they dont have a 95% crowd. Thats when you show how good you are.

    Sure, Floyd hasnt left the US but the US is totally different then England. In all of Floyd's fights its basically a even crowd and alot of times he is the big underdog as far as the crowd goes. Hatton has never fought like that and he never will. Cotto is nearly doing the same thing now by having all his fights in NY. Fight somewhere when the whole crowd isnt behind you and then I would love to see how they react

    Ahaha, yeah. Its Hatton's fault that his fans love him so much. Lets hate him for that.

    Trust me. This crowd wherever it is held, is going to be at least 60-40 for Hatton. The English fans will sell out at least half and if Hatton is going on the publicity trail you can bet that he gains a lot of fans in America too. He's much smarter, more humble, more eloquent and more entertaining to listen to than Floyd (people get tired of hearing the same lame put-downs and ego-bragging every interview). He will make a lot of people in America love him.

      I already said that he would have the crowd no matter what but he's not happy unless its atleast 95/5 in his favor.

      Also, lets please stop talking about Hatton's so called fans. Again, its just a Country thing. Its not like its anything special and people need to stop talking like that. You dont think somethings wrong when a guy never fights where the crowd is even and God forbid if the crowd is against him?

      Also, please save that British **** for someone else. Were not stuck on Mr. Humble in the US, incase you havent noticed

        BLT!
        Let me get this straight. If a fighter doesn't have a big enough fan base then he doesn't bring enough to the table to fight Floyd.
        If a fighter has a big fan base then you belittle him because he never faces opponents without a crowd behind him.
        OK!

        BTW. I am US living in London before you try to undermine my point. Not a fan of Hatton but WAY prefer him as a person over Floyd. Think Mayweather will win by potting and moving.

            It is HATTON who is too big for Vegas. They are having a hard time to find a place suitable enough to fit all of Hatton's fans along with the regular attendee's. Yes there have been bigger fights in the past few decades, but these fights were attended by people and fans who just wanted to see a good exciting fight. In this case we have 10-15k people coming just to support Hatton! Name one fighter in the history of the sport who has such a following. Hatton could sell out the M.E.N Arena in hours. Floyd couldnt sell out a M.E.N's room without a high profile opponent.

              Although surely there are plenty of neutral fans who want to see Mayweather turned into a paraplegic in this fight. They would buy tickets as well and support Hatton by default.

                How do you know this? The bold is a statement of hate because of the character that PBF displays when he is promoting a fight. Other than that you don't know what he is really like as a person with the camera off when he is around people like his kids and grandmother. Yall need to realize part of boxing is entertainment and he chose to be the arrogant villian and I see no problem with that. Most people who hate on arrogant people are only mad because that can't really pull that off themselves. The same PBF that alot of yall hate on for trash talking a fighter before they fight never give him credit when after the fight PBF praises that fighter and has nothing negative to say about said fighter. Yall just love to hate PBF. Would Superman be good without Lex Luthor, or Spiderman without the Green Goblin, or Batman without the Joker? Arrogant villians are needed for the story line. Some people are just to dumb to realize that its all a act. Look at Deion Sanders when he in front of the camera as a player or pre-game commentator he is arrogant about his abilities but when they did a special on him Nate Newton said that every week Deion Sanders went and spent time at a old folks home and never wanted media coverage or to many people know he did that. People are different in front of cameras than when they are not. Stop making judgements about people who you only know one side of its ******.

                  Floyd didnt CHOOSE to play the part of villian, he had no choice. Nobody liked/likes him ANYWAY.

                    Then Hatton has more loyal "country" fans because American fans sure as hell don't fly over to other countries by the thousands to support any of their fighters.

                      This is ******. He has an HBO contract.

                      The US PPV revenue FAAAAAAR exceeds gate money. Why would PBF go fight in a soccer stadium at 2am?
