    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.
    he sells the MEN arena out whenever he fights, they seat 20,000.. Floyd doesnt do numbers like that,

      Prior to Hatton's last fight with tsyzu he Made 3.0666million pounds from all his fight,He didnt make much for his fight against Tsyzu because Warren had to pay tsyzu so much money for him to come over to Manchester.

          So since you went to every fight, please let us know what the tickets cost.

            See. Even Wiley Coyote understands that Floyd is the ultimate draw, whether or not they want to see him win, lose, or are neutral. A great many perhaps would like to see him lose, but realistically, no one has done a survey so none of you even know. The point is that, it's obvious who the draw is and who is bringing in the fans. There are some parallels with Muhammad Ali.

                As an englishmen, could Hatton outsell a full strength English side at MEN?

                  what u eman hes not packing arenas in the usa, I went the urango and castillio fight and both places were near enough full with English people. Not one other fighter on the planet would get that many people to a fight that was not in their own country against them 2 fighters

                    Floyd wasnt getting 10-12 thousand..

                    here a link for the MAgee fight.
