Ellerbe: "Fans Coming For Floyd, Not Ricky"

[sonofisis]

On fight night there will be more Floyd fans then Ricky for these reasons:

1. The fight is in Las Vegas, where Mayweather resides and is well known, most of his fight fans live there.

2. 3,800 tickets have been sold in UK and about over 25,000 tickets have been sold in USA.

3. Who is more popular in USA, Floyd or Hatton? Surely you can answer that considering these points:

P4P #1, Undefeated, 6 time champion, 5 weight champion (all of these accomplishments) + him being an American

Been in boxings biggest fight (2.4 million PPV Buys), beating DLH will surely gain new fans.

Been on the most popular TV Show (Around 20-25 million viewers per episode)

We will find out on fight night when Michael Buffer announces the Introduction's of the fighters, and who has the yay's and the boo's

Excellent points..

Hatton has 43 pro fights. Stop trying to move the goal post by inserting your own criteria. Floyd has clearly accomplished more and has established a much bigger name.

not at 140 he hasnt.

[Easy-E]

It took Floyd 35 pro fights here in the U.S in order to land a PPV fight. It took Hatton 3.

A. Floyd had a PPV fight in his 34th fight.
B. Floyd has had less career fights and more PPV's than Ricky Hatton.
C. More people watch Floyd Mayweather fight than watch Ricky Hatton fight.
d. The only reason this fight is on PPV is because of Floyd Mayweather, not Ricky Hatton.

[Easy-E]

not at 140 he hasnt.

Floyd has fought better fighters more often on the bigger stage.
This is fact, and is not dispuitable.

[sonofisis]

not at 140 he hasnt.

Again with the moving of the goal post..

Moving the goalposts is a debate fallacy in which one continually redefines the point of the discussion to avoid your opponent being able to provide a correct answer.

[Easy-E]

IF YOU ARE in here arguing that Floyd has a bigger fan base then Hatton then you have a lot to learn and you are blind ...

You bias and lack of knowledge of the sport is showing you to be an ignorant poster.

More people watched Floyd Mayweather in 1 fight. (2.4 million) than have watched Ricky Hatton fight in his ENTIRE CAREER.
This is FACT.

33,000 .................................3

take a good look at that.

[Parody]

The stadium only holds 16k. So how the hell did they sell 25k tickets here in the U.S genious?

The Arena offers comfortable seating for as many as 17,800 people but usually if a fight is this big you would expect more. Again I thought it would be much bigger than this since Mayweather vs Oscar happened there.

Still If less than 4000 tickets are sold in UK?

and there will be around 18,000 people going, then I reckon 7,000 Will be for Hatton - 9,000 for Mayweather.

We all know who the PPV Buys will mostly be for so dont even go there.
