From an interview with Mayweather advisor Leonard Ellerbe regarding Hatton thinking he's the draw in this fight:
In a megafight it always takes two to get the desired success you want to achieve, but for some unforseen reason Hatton has this distorted perception of himself being the draw in this fight which is far from the truth. I was reading a quote where he mentioned "he hadn't fought in front of less than 8,000 fans over the last 7 years." Obviously all the guiness he's drank over the years has affected his brain cells. Hatton's a very good undefeated fighter and he has a tremendous following in the UK, having fought 37 of his 43 fights there and we welcome that. Truth be told, Hatton's fans are coming to see Floyd. That's why there's been over 30,000 ticket requests from Britian. The British fans have had unlimited access to all three of his previous fights here in the US and not one has come close to selling out. The facts are he did about 4200 paid attendance in a 18,000 seat arena in the Collazo fight that grossed $500k, he fought in the Paris ballroom against Urango and had a 5200 paid attendance that grossed $1.2m, and then he did 9800 paid at the Thomas and Mack arena with Castillo, the same arena Floyd did 15,000 with Judah coming off a loss. I guess since none of these fights soldout, then it must of been imposter instead of Ricky Hatton.
