Ellerbe: "Fans Coming For Floyd, Not Ricky"

[El Jesus]

OVERALL.. man you guys are BLIND

Hatton isnt the draw here in america at all, in reality, its Hattons english contingent that make him the draw, there are no americans really checking for ricky hatton in america, its the invading british forces arriving in las vegas making it seem that way.

I agree with everything you said black jesus. Right on the money. Who the ****s watches a Mayweather fight if he is fighting a nobody???? (Sharmba Mitchell) No fan base. Or even when he was fighting a somebody like Castillo 1 there was nobody there. The guy is a prick a cancer for boxing.

Overall, more people are tuning in because Floyd Mayweather is fighting than they are because Ricky Hatton is fighting. That's basically indisputable. Hatton's obscurity outside of Britain and Mayweather's renown, world-wide, track record, and achievements, attest to this.

im basing that one:

No word of mouth locally about hatton

No media coverage on tv

No radio coverage (i listen to sportsradio every night at my job)

No magazine coverage

Nothing about Hatton..


NOTHING in america about hatton other than that hes fighting mayweather, no articles about him, nothing.

[Easy-E]

Of course more people here in America know/watch Floyd more than Ricky. Ricky is still trying to establish his American market here. Its like saying "more people watch Ricky than Floyd in Britian"

No, its not.
In case you cant tell, one poster is claiming that Hatton is the more watched fighter overall.

All of that was on HBO with millions of viewers tuning in. Hatton has never had millions of viewers on such a level.

No, you are the blind one.
You clearly have absolutly no clue what you are talking about.

well i narrowed down his fanbase, i wouldnt say NOBODY watches him do, but his popularity will always be limited, but for some reason, his PPV's always do good numbers considering his style which i find puzzling.

man, you really need a reality check. Hatton doesnt need to go on a dancing show to sell tickets. Floyd doent fight a popular fighter then nobody cares, history has proven it.
