Hatton pissed off about ticket allocation.

[Jazzy Paul]

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

That has been down to his opponent.

Fact is the arena isn't big enough to accommodate the amount of fans who would willingly fly over from Britain to see the fight.

[tredh]

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!!

What yall Brits aren't understanding is that we here in America don't back a fighter just because he is American. Most of yall are backing Ricky Hatton because of a country alliegience we don't do that so there is always going to be a difference in crowd turn outs. If Americans backed fighters because they are American we would always outnumber the fans of any other fighter because we as a whole have more money then majority of other countries.

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.

Huge statement? I dont know anybody besides the few Floyd fanboys here that would disagree with me. Hatton has more fans than Floyd overall! Floyd doesnt even HAVE a fanbase. Yes he might have some fans, but u never see anybody in the crowd chanting and holding up posters/signs on behalf of Floyd.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

What the hell is Floyd gonna do with 3,900 tickets? In reality, he has only 2 fans. Leonard Ellerbe and 50 Cent.

Yeah... those were the same two that filled Thomas & Mack for the Judah fight.

[tredh]

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.

You are ****ing trippin if you believe that PBF couldn't sell out the MGM Grand without one Brit buying a ticket. I saw plenty of people from my hometown in Vegas when I went for the De la Hoya fight. I stay on the East coast. Don't say dumbass **** just because you don't like PBF and you really like Hatton and want PBF to lose.

LOL. Did it ever cross your mind that the MGM was sold out on that night due to Floyd's opponent?

Because mature and knowledgeable fans don't paint their faces blue and white and carry signs at fights. American boxing fans don't do that.

Mayweather/Judah sold 15,000+. Mayweather/Baldomir sold well. PBF has been in FOUR successful PPV's to date.

Wake up, Rickety. You are not the money in this fight.

Would Hatton be getting ten million to fight ANYBODY other than Floyd or Oscar? Hatton just made $2.5 mil for Castillo.


Perhaps Hatton needs that many groupies in attendance to catch his various body parts as they fly out of the ring.

lol MGM Grand that only holds 20,000!!! that aint much....Butterbean could sell that out

And why did Thomas & Mack sell out?? For Judah?
Zab Judah couldn't even sell out the Theatre at MSG in his own town.

Deevel doesn't understand the boxing business.

It isnt only about painting faces and carrying signs. Its about live fan support. The pinoys come out in massive numbers and cheer on Pacman. The Mexicans proudly wave thier flags and cheer on ANY Mexican champion who is fighting. Tito and Cotto turn MSG into little Puerto Rico when they fight there (i've witnessed it first hand). Yet u dont see any fan outcry for Floyd. Why is that?
