Why is Hatton so much more popular than Lennox, Hamed, Bruno, etc?

[Orange Sneakers]

He built that audience from fighting in Manchester all those years; when an exciting fighter appears repeatedly in the same arena, he builds a base. It happened even with Gatti in AC, and Gatti has never been anywhere near as good as Hatton.

Most of his fans came from Steve Foster Sr and Anthony Farnell, then people started spotting him at Man City home and away games and loads of lads would come along to his fights and then he started giving out free tickets at Man City. Did he get lucky with his fan base? Personally I think he did.

So what's he meant to do mate. Bank his money and go live on a council estate in Manchester?

Why didn't he take the BBC offer? BBC offered him a £1million four-fight deal starting with Castillo. He already had £10million in his bank. If he's so humble and grounded as he says, why he's such a greedy little git?

Dude, you don't have to be poor to be humble and grounded.

I say take the money Ricky!!

Rather than be on BBC1?

Why not make more money? That attitude doesn't make sense. Setanta offered him more than the BBC could. Which offer would you take?

What he said ^^^^

Nonsense. Have you not noticed that on the few occasions he's been on TV outside of boxing in the last year or so, there's been a very strange, silent atmosphere when he's talked.

Well that would be because he predominantly boxes on satellite TV. Boxers today are less known than in past decades solely because of this...and yet he still has a massive hardcore following.

This was an isolated incident and facilitated more about getting the fight. He has also said many many good things about Mayweather despite Mayweather saying many many bad things about him.

Hatton is not a trash talker, he is just honest. Hamed although a great fighter never shut up.

Micky,
You say that hatton ONLY did that to get the fight. OK, fine.

Then he gets the fight, and hires a comedian and films a video (a damn corny one, at that) and produces it and has his team display it at the press conference.

Additionally, he has made several comments about PBF dancing ("he will be backing up...that's the woman's part")

This is all AFTER the fight was signed.

Be consistent. Please.

Check the pigmentation, that's all you need to see to answer your question.

I live in Sheffield, always have, and trust me, Nas was not accessible AT ALL. Sure you would see him walking the streets, or shopping in town, but he was always surrounded by about 200 scrawny pakis. That was his
"entourage". He was never really a local hero as well. In the ****** community he was very much loved, but he tended to isolate everyone else. It was quite amusing tho to see him abandon his strong ****** ways tho, when he married a white girl, and moved into the posh affluent part of Sheffield where there was NO ****** community AT ALL...

Hamed was/is an arrogant ****, and the sweetest thing ever was when he knocked the **** out outside a nightclub in Sheffield by a drunk street brawler. Sweet sweet karma.

Isn't that a racially offensive term? Kind of the equivalent of the N-word?
