Ellerbe: "Fans Coming For Floyd, Not Ricky"

[Mozza]

If you have no numbers, then why initially reference them? For all I know, he didn't do over 10,000..

Well I think the fact that they continued to put him on PPV suggests that it was more fiscally appealing than keeping it on non-PPV where significant money can still be made but only from advertisers.

The same **** applies to Hatton here in America.

yeah i didnt say hatton was fmaous in the world. i replied to that guy that he suggested people in the uk knew him and that the 20k uk fans came for floyld. understand?

[El Jesus]

the last ppv was because of oscar. if floyld didnt fight oscar then he would not reach those ppv numbers. true?

and the same with oscar, when he fought trinidad he didint do those numbers, when he fought hopkins he didint do those numbers, when he fought mayorga he didint do those numbers, oscar never did numbers like that until he fought floyd, so while without oscar floyd wouldnt have done those numbers, without floyd oscar wouldnt have done those numbers with anyone neither.

Actually, this is a cop-out. It goes both ways. Oscar sold his most with Mayweather. We forget that Oscar also fought Trinidad, Hopkins, etc, but he's never sold 2 million ppvs. Like Floyd says, Gatti, Judah, Baldomir, and Oscar all got their biggest pay days with Floyd.

if floyld didnt fight oscar then he would not reach those ppv numbers. true?

Duh, it was an all-time record. But if it were Hatton vs. DLH, the numbers wouldn't have been nearly the same, which is the point.

British fans aren't spending the bulk of the money, Americans are! So who cares? The thread is about Mayweather's drawing power. Leonard doesn't mean literally that the U.K. fans are flocking over here to see Mayweather fight. The point is that they're coming so readily and so packed because Hatton is fighting Floyd. At the end of the day though, as indicated, it doesn't matter since they aren't spending the bulk of the money!

bulk of the money will obviously be american. if oscar coems to the uk then hatton will have the bulk of the money. understand? to me if you read what ellrebe said again it suggests hattons fans aree only going to see floyld. as someone stated, half of hatton fans would have seen 2 or 3 of floyld fights in total. they are there for hatton. floyld has some of his fans and most of the audience will be american too.

Disregarding speculation. Please provide numbers if you want to prove that Ricky is a bigger draw than Mayweather.

in the uk if hatton fought oscar it would break ppv records. in terms of america hatton will never be a household name i doubt.

okay i understand that oscar wasnt only the draw but i personally feel flyold would not have got those ppv numbers with anyone else.

okay cool. both are famous in their country. uk fans are for hatton and american are for floyld.

Maybe per capita, but Floyd has more fans overall.

no he doesnt, People cant stand Floyd..People love Hatton. Hatton sells out 30, 000 and the rest of the country watches his fights on the tube. Juat because Floyd had a well promoted fight with ODLH and 2 mil ppvs were bought doesnt mean more people like Floyd..
