Ellerbe: "Hatton's Fans Are Coming to See Floyd"

[adrsan84]

They're coming over here to watch Hatton fight Mayweather. Hatton being the key and Floyd just adding to the interest, if Mayweather was fighting someone else there is zero chance these fans would come, while if it were Hatton against someone else some of them would, not as many though. So Ellerbe just needs to cut the bull****, he's the most annoying guy in the sport.

If you can answer my question I might try and explain to you a little bit about Hatton's previous attendances.

i answered youre question. Hatton fans are coming to see their best fight our best, if hatton wasnt fighting one of our best they wouldnt be here in the 30,000's to see him fight, and his past fight attendances prove this

he kinda reminds me of Eric B., nobody knows what the **** eric b was supposed to be doing other than being rakim's hype man.

Look, after what Floyd did in his last two fights, NOBODY IN HIS RIGHT MIND WOULD EVER PAY TO WATCH HIM AGAIN, unless he was a die-hard fan of his opponent. Nuff said.

hahaha, yeah he's that type of dude. I think he plays an important role in Mayweather's private life so Floyd has incorporated him into the boxing bis, but he just isn't cut out to do it. He should stick to giving Floyd financial advice or whatever the **** he's done for him.

Why didn't this many fans come over for his fights with Collazo, Urango and Castillo.

Its obvious they are here to see Mayweather.

What would you class as 'this many'?

I mean approximately 10,000 fans came to watch the Castillo fight. Could any current foreign fighters generate that following in another country, if so very few?

Of course this fight has generated more interest again but that's because there has been huge media coverage and because of the importance of this fight. The fans are coming to watch Hatton hopefully beat Mayweather not to just watch Mayweather otherwise they would have travelled to many of his other fights!

Hatton is the obvious British draw.

oh i know what he does, but alot of people dont. his role is exactly this, him and richard schafer decide who floyd fights and how much money its going to be for etc, he handles his promotional **** and helps with his strength and conditioning, however because hes always talking **** (i must be the only one not annoyed by him) everyone sees him as a hype man.

yeah, I knew he did something like that, and he's probably good at it based on floyd's results. But when he talks **** he's just real bad at it.

That statement may have just been made tocause an uproar though, but if he chooses to gain attention like that all the time, he's going to lose all credibility, he's well on his way to that.
