Ellerbe: "Fans Coming For Floyd, Not Ricky"

[sonofisis]

Oscar got 2 million not Floyd. Oscar can get 2 million people to watch him sleep.

This makes no friggin sense. When has Oscar done that much without Floyd? How is it that a super-star fighter in his prime gets paid less and gets his biggest pay day when he's supposedly out of his prime against another prime fighter? Surely your logic is absurd.

Hatton is the draw for this fight.

Hahahaha! Again. When has Hatton sold out in 30 minutes (which is an all-time record) with out Floyd?! When has he even done a decent ppv without Floyd? Why is this his biggest pay day, but not Floyd's?!

However, Floyds status as being the p4p best and his personality is doing alot to sell the fight.

It IS what's selling the fight.

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

Do you have gate numbers for those arena's, then?
Or are we supposed to believe that just becasue you said it?

[feed-the-goat]

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?

Hatton makes more money in the usa because the English don't rip of the fans by charging ****** prices for tickets and because they don't rip of the fans by charging ****** ppv prices
In England its all about the boxing, in america its all about the money

[Easy-E]

no cuz he wants to fight the best..if you dont believe Hatton is ****** rich then you are ignorant

Floyd makes way more money because more people watch him fight.
A fighter makes more on a PPV or HBO then they do from ticket sales.

I believe he is rich, but I don't believe he'd sell 48,000 tickets for $500 to $1000 a seat. Any fighter with a decent name could sell a few thousand seats if the price was low enough. You get a guy like Hatton who is a star and of course he'll sell. But he's only going to sell 30,000 tickets and barely make a few million if the prices are dirt cheap. Think about it.

And if you don't mind, you could answer my question. Is the PPV cheaper over there?

He got payed chump change in England compared to what he is getting here.

[sonofisis]

u tool he sold out the men against no mark fighters when he was up and coming.
your in for a shock mate seriously

Can you please give me a source? You're a nobody, I don't go by your word. I don't trust you people, give me an external source which states Ricky sells 48,000 for most of his fights or stfu. Thanx.

Because you have 20000 people coming to your fight doesnt make you the "Draw", It takes two to tango....Mayweather/Hatton is the draw not just mayweather or Hatton.., I do see 20,000 people coming to see Hatton in the collazo and Castillo fights..we need to get really.

You need 2 big names to sell a fight not just 1..Dela hoya sold 900,000 homes when he fought Maryorga with a the public verbals maryorga gave him..but against Mayweather they did 2.4 millions homes...if the 2 didnt come together then that wouldnt happen.

And you don't think the prices have something to do with the sales? You guys brag about Hatton selling a ****load of tickets, but he's hardly making any money (comparatively speaking).
