Ellerbe: "Fans Coming For Floyd, Not Ricky"

50 dollars

Not so sound like an *******, but I would be paying more than that to go see an up-and-coming fighter from across the state fight in a small arena. I mean very small. I'm not sure how many seats and I don't have time to check. Point is, of course Hatton is going to sell lots of tickets when they're that cheap.

Chavez vs Haugen had a live gate of 130,000 top that .

i remember that **** because haugen said 100,000 mexicans could never afford to go in Azteca stadium

[feed-the-goat]

wait a minute, he packed THAT PLACE to full capacity, are you serious? I have been there because thats where the basketball team plays, it holds like 18,000 or something like that, i forgot, but he brought THAT MANY people with him?

OH REALLY? would you fly across the world? a hotel room? pay for a very expensive ticket? ..well thats what Hattons fans are doing and it's not cheap.

he is still selling and they are still coming and paying for air fare, food, hotels etc. so your point is irrelivent BOZO

How do you know?



You jump from 48,000 down to 10,000 - 15,000, lol, you're a pathetic liar.

I never said 48...

its a 20,000 arena and he sold out it out.

they discuss stuff like how many people are at the fights etc... you should really start watching some boxing.

[sonofisis]

I never said 48...

Yes you did, you agreed with it and built on it.

its a 20,000 arena and he sold out it out.

Once, twice, how many times? The claim was made that he generally does 48,000, while you claimed that the entire country tunes in to watch him fight. And as a matter of fact, you were steadfast on 30,000 until someone bumped it up to 48. Then to save face, you bumped it back down to 10-12 thousand, and now 20,000 again. You people are liars. lol..

you should really start watching some boxing.

I do, all the time. Anyways..


Using his superior speed and ability, Mayweather outboxed the Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena last night, taking a 12-round split decision before a sold-out crowd of 16,700. - source

vs. 2.4 million ppv buys!

^The above demonstrates why live gate doesn't mean anything. Assuming Ricky has drawn over 16,000 in England, this would be like saying he has more drawing power than Oscar De La Hoya as well. The arenas out there have a higher capacity obviously if that's the case and going out to boxing events isn't as much as a past time here as ordering pay per view, cracking a few beers, and inviting some friends over. Plus, there are more Americans than brits, which has been stated ad nauseum.

Ellerbe is smokin the crack.

The only people I know that watch floyd fight are people that watch to see him get punched in the face.

No one doubts his skill or his talent.

But to say he has a huge fan base is nuthugging rubbish.

And you guys talking about the 2mill ppv buys....are stealing 1.94 million of them from DLH
