Ellerbe: "Fans Coming For Floyd, Not Ricky"

[sonofisis]

I've asked this question before and could never get an answer from you Brits. How come Hatton can sell 48,000 tickets, but needs to come to America and sell 10,000 for his biggest payday? If he's capable of selling in England then why isn't he getting paid?

Good question. Also, where is the source saying that he sells 48,000 tickets in most of his fights? That's dubious. Dramatic claims made by over dramatic fans.

[Easy-E]

oh you mean becuase he doesnt wear lots of ***lery..and talk about his bling? lol....Hatton is paid..believe that..you dont sell 30,000 tickets when you fight and not be paid, get real....way to stick to the topic!!

He didnt sell 30k tickets.

[C'MONMANG']

na man, no they wouldnt and i explained why.

um, DELA sell PPV's fighting Yori Boy Campus, he is the highest paid non heavy weight in the history of the sport he the most popular active fighter in the game.. TRUST me..a hell of a lot of fan swould go..

Um... Is it not true that Hatton's biggest payday was against Castillo? Which was in America? If he was getting paid that much in England his ass would still be over there

Here's another example for you: How much does the PPV cost over there?
Its about $55 here, and I'd be willing to be its cheaper over there.

moron, WHEN HE FIGHTS IN ENGLAND HE DOES....

[Easy-E]

is vegas now Floyds home? If floyd was fighting say alfonso gomez would he be able to sell out the biggest arena in vegas, say for example a 40,000 seaster stadium?
Now Ricky would sell out the city of Manchester stadium with a capacity of 48,000 against ANY fighter u could think of
So who has the biggest fan base then?

Floyd could sell out any venue in the US, and consistantly has millions more tune in to his fights than Hatton.
Keep in mind the US is much larger, and the fanbase is spread over a wide variety of people and places.

[feed-the-goat]

Why would Floyd be fighting Alfonso Gomez and how would we know unless it happened? Would millions of viewers tune in to see the outcome? Probably so.




How do you know that and when is the last time that happened? Sources? Would he sell out anywhere outside his hometown? Can he gross over 100 million in ppv buys by fighting De La Hoya? Would that fight have been so successful if it were Hatton instead of Floyd?


Overall, or in England? Overall, Floyd. More people in America knows who he is and America is bigger. More people know him in the U.K. than Americans know Ricky.

the world is bigger than just America, europe is bigger than America and more people know Hatton in Europe
Now I put gomez as he is a reality tv star so a few people would know him but they still would not sell out
As for hatton not being able to sell out the city of Manchester stadium, grow up mate, your making yourself sound like a clueless idiot.
As for selling out elsewhere, he would fill any arena in England
you people really are clueless, your in for a bit of a shock when that arena in vegas will be mostly full with English people supporting ricky on dec 8th and when vegas is over run with mancunians
