Ricky Hatton: "I'm The Draw, Not Mayweather"

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Obviously....most of Hatton's fan base is in the UK, the amount that travel is exceptional.

Of course anyone with Mayweathers ability will be a draw but how many watch to see hopefully see him lose do you think?

Were the Hatton fights on the British version of PPV? Were those 25 pounds? Pls educate me. How many "buys" does he average?

Yes, I think FMJ is a polarizing figure, so a certain portion buys the fights hoping that he will get his teeth kicked in. Their money counts just the same as the fans.

Controversy sells.

Yeah probably the last five or six Hatton fights have been PPV, not sure of the numbers but I would imagine they are high for the UK simply because of the consistent interest. It will usually cost £15 -£20 for the fight.

Can you please help me understand why the Tszyu-Hatton fight was on at 2am to appease the American market if Hatton is a big PPV draw in the UK.

A US network would never do that.

Hatton takes more L's then Cleveland sports teams do ...

[feed-the-goat]

Hatton is still thinking like a small-time fighter.

He is thinking about "butts in the seats" instead of "people hitting the BUY NOW button". It doesn't matter if you have 20K, 40K, or 60K people in the stnds. What you want is 600K at home buying the fight.

The reality is that PBF had more people in the arena for Judah than Hatton had for any US fight, AND Floyd also sold almost 400K PPV's for that fight.


Gatti's biggest payday? Floyd
Judah's biggest payday? Floyd
Baldo's biggest payday? Floyd
Oscar's biggest payday? Floyd
Ricky's biggest payday? Floyd

Is this a coincidence?

no hattons thinking vabout winning fights and having his fans there to see it, Floyds thinking about pay cheques.
I like Floyd, I think hers funny but I don't see him winning this one

Money, pure and simple.
