na, their association with james prince is how they became friends, thats something i can pretty much garuntee.
My opinion on this is this, this is a big money fight, in a big money venue, in a big money town. This isnt some mom and pop arena there to accomadate the little guy, or some travelling fan, its there to get people to spend money, big money, this fight is less of a sporting event and more of an attraction to GET people to spend that money.
There is no place in england like vegas and people need to accept the reality of why these fights take place there, MONEY and EXPOSURE.
About Hatton having more fans than Mayweather, maybe in europe, but not here. Hatton has almost no fanbase here because even with 3 fights here, the only decent one was the Castillo fight, and that wasnt exactly a barnburner. Alot of people dont really know who he is.
If Hatton has more fans than mayweather or more popularity than mayweather, lets compare his PPV statistics to Mayweathers, and dont just contribute it to "oh its because of mayweathers opponents", Mayweather/Judah was HUGE in the black/hip hop community, the Baldomir fight was one where he himself was the main attraction and he still did 325k.
DLH/Mayorga did 900,000 and mayorga has a far more crowd pleasing style than mayweather. To NOT attribute Mayweather to the success of the DLH ppv is denying that weather you like it or not MAYWEATHER is an attraction.
One thing i do know, messageboards are not a reflection of a community as a whole, while mayweather may be universally hated here, its not the same story in the real world.
Despite what many UK based posters think, Mayweather has a pretty decent fanbase, especially among the sporting community as well as a community not often mentioned on here, the BLACK community. Thats right, the BLACK community, a group of fans generally not well represented on this board. This is a big country, fans are spread out all throughout this country, they arent concentrated in 5 or 6 cities. I mean generally most black people who follow sports know who mayweather is, and his association with 50 cent also contributes to that. Alot of you people underestimate that, but then your the same people who said Wright vs Hopkins wouldnt sell and it did around 350k.
