Which boxer has the best fans?

[adamk1304]

Hatton by far, no other fighter's fans would travel nearly 5,000 miles just to see them.

Gatti by far, if you go too atlantic city and talk **** about him you are getting ****d.

If not oscar de la hoya, the mexican like him, the americans like him and all the women like him lol

I've been to two Trinidad fights in New York City.....& the atmosphere is indescribable.

Trinidad is NOT from New York....but, you'd never know it by the unbelievable turnout & enthusiasm at his fights.

I doubt anyone else could get the same reaction away from theire actual homeland.

Enter Ricky Hatton my friend.

Being at Castillo vs. Hatton was ridiculous, his fans would follow him anywhere. (England to Vegas is a 12 hour flight and you had 13K in attendance)

Hatton vs. Cotto would sell out Yankee stadium twice.

I dont know if there is an athlete currently in the world that has the type of following that is willing to go to the end of the earth to watch their man perform.

I was in complete awe of the brits and the support they showed for there man!

[MickyHatton]

Over 10,000 fans travelled across the water to Vegas to see Hatton v Castillo so.....

[Tony Booth]

Got to be Hatton. He fights for England.

[OptimusWolf]

yep hatton has rabid support. the number travelling half way round the world for a non mega-fight was amazing. I can't even fathom how many will be in vegas for the Mayweather fight - 25,000??

I'm considering going myself, infact its the fact that a lot of hatton fans will be there that is putting me off. I went to the tszyu and Maussa fights and didn't like the people, too many wannabe gangsters for my taste.

Is anyone offa here going?

[oldgringo]

Hatton seems to be #1 now and Cotto also gets all kind of love from his fans as well. The Garden was electric during the Judah fight and I bet it was only that much crazier being there live (as some posters here could support).

It was insane seeing all of Hatton's fans come so far to watch him. That goes to show that boxing still has some charm.

Hatton by far !!!!! If the Hatton - Mayweather fight was in England it would sell out the new 90,000 capacity wembley. Also Calzaghe has a decent following there were 35,000 at the mellenium stadium for the Manfredo fight, expect 50,000 + for the Kessler fight.

[JJay]

they Hatton Vs Castillo weigh is..is something i have never seen before....if anyone has...please post clip...or just tell what fight....atmosphere at the weigh in was better then most on fight night

[-Antonio-]

To be fair, if places like the Phillipenes for example werent so poor, Im sure they would all fly over to the states to follow their fighter too. You don't think 10,000 of them would fly over to see Pacquiao fight if they could?

There is a lower weight fighter in an Asian country that is apparently so popular that something like 80% of the country watches him fight on TV.
