    BTW, this is a good read: Manchester Evening News

    Do u think an even split of tickets btween both fighters were fair given both thier drawing power? If i got 2 guys selling drugs for me, and one guy consistantly brings in 5k a day, while the other guy brings in 1500, why would i distribute the product to them evenly? Give more to the guy who can move more. Basic economics.

      Do you really think that Hatton has more fans coming to the US than Floyd has in the US? You must really be smokin' something serious, bro.

      BTW, we're not talking about a product that isn't going to sell. It doesn't matter if you give ALL the tickets to a bum under a bridge, they will all sell out, guaranteed!

        Well I guess they no the score!! If they let 10,000 British fans go and they pull one of them dodgy decisions like you would expect in the states.. The British fans would tear the place apart..Thats the truth of it..And 50 and his crew would get smacked up aswell...

          so what if the fans deserve it more. sometimes life isn't fair and there are bigger things than flying on a plane for over 11 hours to go to a fight in Vegas

          so what should Vegas have a bigger venue, like 20 or 30 thousand to accomadate all of Hatton's fans?

          hell why limit it to 20 thousand .. why not find an arena with a capacity to fit 50,000.

          why is Hatton bitching so much ... he can use this as an excuse if he loses. he's used to 7,000+ fans .. this fight is only 3,900 fans .. thats a collosal difference, and the fan difference will lower Hatton's enthusiasm.

          *see this proves my point that no ****ing way 10,000 fans came to Castillo-Hatton. if they got 10,000 to go for the Castilllo fight . .how come they couldn't do it again?

          because 10,000 for the Castillo fight never happened. its just a number the media came up with that sounds nice, but 10,000 fans? no way.

              You aint got a clue M8 over 10,000 fans will be there with or without the tickets being there for erm...To much brown nosing going on in Vegas, With all that damn money they cant even build a stadium big enough to hold these events..Its a ***ing joke.... I hope Hatton does the job on Mayweather as then we can hold the fights in the U.K, See how many U.S fans come over to back there man..I hope they do we will be able to accomadate no worrys!!

                Fact: Hatton has more fans than Floyd who are willing to travel to Vegas and dish out the money to watch him fight. That can NOT be disputed.

                  Is that why he has been in the 3 most profitable ppv's of the last 4 years?

                    I will bet money theres still over 10, 000 Brits in the mgm grand watching Hatton fight. They will get in by any means possible.
                    The yanks are in for a shock, the last thing they need is thousands of pissed up mancs locked out and on the rampage. I feel sorry for the touts for once, a few of them are looking at a good kickin if they try taking the piss

                      Welll, if by that you mean fans in the UK who are willing to travel to Las Vegas to see the fight then I can't argue that Hatton has more of those fans, yes. But, to say that, overall, Hatton has more fans than PBF is a huge statement, and one that I don't believe is true.
