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

[El Jesus]

apparently you didnt see the Castillo or Collazo fights.

i did, my question to you is, how many people were there, how fast did those fights sell out, and was there CCTV being offered in several casinos because of it? put it to you this way, i really wanted to be in vegas that weekend, but i cant because its ****ing booked up practically everywhere, you honestly think the 5,000 people who went to the collazo fight in boston or the x amount of people who went to the urango fights matches up with the amount of people seeing this fight to see their best fighter against the p4p number 1? come on man.

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

In the fight with Castillo there were 10,000 Hatton fans in attendance and up to half of that in the city so does that mean that the ones who showed up for that but not the Urango fight were there to see Castillo?

so at the most, say 15,000 came overseas to see him fight castillo, does that compare to the 30,000 expected to be here that weekend?

If you are honestly trying to tell me that 30,000 fans signed up for tickets through Ricky Hatton's official provider to see Floyd Mayweather then you have lost the plot. Why didn't they sign up for tickets at Mayweather's end? Why didn't they go and see Mayweather fight De La Hoya? Why isn't there a UK based Floyd Mayweather fan club? Why hasn't ballroom dancing increased tenfold in the UK due to Mayweather's involvement in Dancing With The Stars?

They are coming to see ricky fight floyd, i never said they are coming exclusively to seee floyd mayweather, i already explained to you that floyd being our best fighter, and ricky being their best fighter is what they are coming to see in droves. nobody from england is here exclusively to see and cheer for mayweather, yea right.

hattons fans would be here anyway to see hatton, but MORE of them are coming because hes fighting mayweather and wanna see him get his block knocked off.

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

Its obvious they are here to see Mayweather.

erm how many british fans would go to watch mayweather without hatton? not very many.

i mean the sporting public in britain barely knows who the **** he is. infact they don't. only the boxing fans know him and that's the truth. we are in an era where prince naz, mike tyson, lennox lewis, holyfield, audley harrison and amir khan and even rocky balboa are only known.

hatton is the draw. they are going because there's been a rpess conference in london and manchester. we don't usualy have big press conferences. and certainly no one knew who collazo was or even castillo, but we know of mayweather (as in public) due to the fact that the press conference was on the enws a lot.

That's not what Ellerbe is saying though, is it?

i never read what he said, so sadly if thats what he said, then you win lol.

they are not here exclusively to see mayweather, they are here for ricky, but here extra because of floyd, which i thought thats what he meant, but whatever, either way its halfway true, but knowing him, unlike me he is not so humble.

[Super_Lightweight]

Silly post. They are not coming to see Mayweather. They are coming to see Hatton beat Mayweather and make history. It has nothing to do with them being fans of Floyd or liking Floyd or any such thing. They just want to see the supposed p4p number 1 guy get his mouth shut.

[benjy07]

i very much doubt that hatton fans are going over there to see mayweather. the reason so many hatton fans are going to see the hatton/gayweather fight is to watch hatton shut gayweathers ****y mouth and watch him knock him out
