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

[Mike_R]

Hatton knows attacking Mayweather's money/numbers/statistics on his career will piss him off more than anything else he can possibly say.

Kudos to well thought out trash-talking.

You do realize that won't help him in the ring, right?

Hatton has been running his trap a lot lately. Definite sign of being nervous.

If running your trap is a sign of being nervous, then Floyd must be under his bed shaking like a leaf.

That's the point. In America, unless you're De La Hoya, or Mayweather.. you DON'T get coverage. I think that says a lot about his overall....... curiosity level. People just hate or love him. Either way, strong emotions equal strong turnouts.

Reminds me of that poll a while back on Howard Stern. His supporters listened to him an average of 1.5 hrs a day, people who hated him, an average of 3.5 hrs a day. A lot of people pay to watch Floyd, hoping someone finally shuts him up.

Hatton is the live draw, there's no question. Mayweather is the PPV draw, no question.

Hatton is a live draw no matter WHO he fights. Floyd is only a PPV draw depending on the opponent.

What i find funny is, Floyd fans are comparing the American drawing power of each fighter. Dont you think that's kind've unfair, given that Floyd has been fighting on American soil his entire life, while this will be only Hatton's 4th fight here? Its like saying "Well who's the bigger draw in the UK?"

That is his agenda. Money has no feelings, if you are paying to watch him get whooped, he has won.

Since when did Floyd fans become fair in their assertions?

Then i guess that its safe to say that what Floyd has is "negative" drawing power. If the majority of people who watch him, are doing so to see if he loses, what kind of draw will he be once he finally does lose?

...yes?

you're being a bit touchy don't you think?
