Had Cotto fought Delahoya first then the Hatton/Cotto fight would have easily done 1.5 million.

No, Hatton had a lot to do with the live gate.

Hatton is a household name in Britain, while floyd is in USA and other countries.

Hatton can get a lot of crowd from Britain, but most people in USA did'nt know who he was.

lol lol. He had nothing to do with the live gate. It would of been sold out regardless.

I wonder if those figures include the UK. If they dont, they will be even bigger numbers.

How can Hatton have nothing to do with the live gate when 12000 out of 16000 had travelled from the uk to watch Hatton.
They were not their to watch Floyd they were their to watch Hatton
the uk figure was 900,000

I read in the paper it done 900,000 buys on Sky box-office.

If this is concrete then clearly Hattons fans brought the majority of the PPV's. Coming from England I can pretty much tell you everyone had this fight, even people who don't watch boxing much.

Hatton was the draw here, Mayweather just pulled in the rest of the PPV's because he's pound for pound and knows how to talk up a fight.

Because the venue was only 15,000 and it would of sold out anyway.

Yup 1.5 is what I thought it would be. 24/7 is a great marketing tool.
