Ellerbe: "Fans Coming For Floyd, Not Ricky"

[C'MONMANG']

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

LOL............................................... .

MAN YOU ARE DUMB..

[Easy-E]

THe biggest boxing event in HISTORY.

[Easy-E]

LOL............................................... .

MAN YOU ARE DUMB..

Please tell me you are going to dispuite this.

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.

Like i told Sonoffloyd, its unfair to compare the drawing power of both fighters due to the fact that Floyd has been fighting here his whole career, and Hatton has had only 3 fights here. Mayweather himself has said that he's only fighting the fighters who bring in the money.

[sonofisis]

Floyd after this fight is going to have over 4 million career pay per view buys! Nuff said, Ricky hasn't generated anything comparable and it isn't surprising that Floyd is giving him his biggest pay day. It isn't viceversa either where Floyd is receiving his biggest pay day by fighting Ricky.

The distinction is too obvious, wake up.

Leonard Ellerbe is a dumbass if he thinks Mayweather is the draw. I went to the Ricky Hatton, Castillo fight in Vegas and I came to see Ricky not Castillo and I am from Northern California. Just watch the fight on HBO on Demand and see how many people you hear and see in the audience for Ricky the whole UNLV stadium. Ellerbe is a dumbass if he thinks that. I will tell you this if Mayweather went to the UK, Mayweather would have no more than 10 fans to make the trip to watch him fight. Now thats a fan base when you have 20,000 brits to make the trip over to the US to see there fighter. Anybody else who thinks Mayweather is the draw is in la la land.

Its not unfair.
More people watch Floyd than Ricky.
Its simple.
And its an argument I should have never bring up, yet delusional, biased people are convinced Hatton is more popular than Floyd.

Wait you think Ricky Hatton is more of a draw in this fight than Floyd Mayweather is?

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.

Yes 4k were sold in the UK, but that was because 4k is all GBP allocated to Hatton. Hatton's team had 30k ticket requests. He could've sold out that arena 2x. I can Guarantee you that it will be a predominately pro-Hatton crowd in the arena on Dec 8th.

Hattons the bigger draw, no question
