Ellerbe: "Fans Coming For Floyd, Not Ricky"

[C'MONMANG']

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,

[Ray*]

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.

And what does that prove?

Ray as an Englash man, would u say Hatton would sell out the city of Manchester stadium for a fight?

[ThaHorseman]

U have no idea, i went to near enough EVERY fight at the MEN and EVERY fight was full, not bad for a bloke without a belt

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

People will pay to see Floyd get beat. That's the draw. Since Hatton has a reasonable chance of accomplishing the goal, the fight is drawing attention.

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?

PPV is the only way all of us are going to watch it, but either way, Hatton is making record purses fighting in the USA and hes not exactly packing arenas to max capacity here, this is where the money is also because fighters have been getting ****ed for years by promoters back when it was "about boxing", this is why it is the way it is, fighters demanding PPV shares and gate revenue because of promoters using these guys for what they are worth and leaving them broke.

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

The biggest Hatton sold was against tyszu which was 20,000 people before that 10,000-12,000 people use to watch him fight for his WBU belt...The only person who just sold that sort of ticket was Joe calzaghe when he fought Kessler and 50,000+ people turned up.

Floyd wasnt getting 10-12 thousand..

here a link for the MAgee fight.
