With a lot you English Hatton fans, it's more about pride than the love for Boxing. Hatton couldn't even knockout Castillo, he's way over rated as a knockout fighter. Floyd will win this one easy, then we can see what big babies you guys are the next day on the forum with all your lame ass excuses. LOL
    Uhhh, Hatton has fans outside of Britain, I can assure you. Just because Britain is a small country and generally rallies around her famous fighters, doesn't mean the fighters are overrated. I think that is what you're getting at and I'm here to say that you are not making any sense. Hatton is 43-0 WW champ. Hard to overrate that.

      So far the numbers say 30,000 Brits are going to Vegas and 26,000 of those won't even be in the arena.
      Each Brit will be spending between £1000-£2000($2000-$4000) roughly for the experience.

      How many Floyd Fans would make the same Journey over here?

      I already know some lame ****er will say "Floyd don' need to travel cos he da champ".

      But humour me here.
      Lets say the fight was in the UK regardless of facts.

      Do you think would bring many fans
      ?
      The number of Mayweather fans who would travel to England? They would fit in a car.

      How many Delahoya fans would travel to England? How many fans actually traveled for Tyson's overseas fights?

      Even Ali's fights in Kingston, Manila, Zaire, etc did not draw many American travelers.

      It seems to be a cultural dynamic. At least in part.

        I'm sure Hatton has fans outside of England.

        But for whatever reason, there were 12,000 and change in the arena for Castillo. And empty seats. Didn't sell out.

        And 10,000 of that number traveled from England.

        So, I don't believe that he has established the traction with the American fans yet.

            Meh I'm not so much a fan of Mayweather as much as I think he will be the winner of this fight. So I couldn't say I'd go out of my way to spend 4 grand to see ANY fighter. Now if happened to be in England, and I could score some tickets...

              In all honesty! I'd much rather watch the fight at home and have some friends and family over. + who'd want to spend that kinda of money?? No diss but U.K seems too boring for me. No matter how much I like a boxer I wouldn't travel to go see him fight.

                Hatton has fans all over Asia. Who are these Mayweather fans to say that he hasn't? Havent met an Asian who knew Floyd Mayweather though, and that's 5 BILLION PEOPLE WHO DONT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT HIS BLACK ASS.

                  So where are you from Joe Pal?
                  Not one Asian out of the 5 billion that you know personally, gives a **** about Mayweather?
                  I know MANY asians that are picking Mayweather to win vs Hatton.
                  Your a bigot. Ignorant. ******ed.
                  Hatton isn't the household name around the world that you would like him to be.
                  Neither is Mayweather.
                  But if you think that Hatton is some sort of global figure... then you are SERIOUSLY mistaken.
