Mayweather-Hatton does over 1.5 million PPV Buys

[feed-the-goat]

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

yeah it sold out with English people
70000 applied for tickets through the official Hatton channels.

Thats a good point htough u make fella, would the fight have sold out if not one person came over from the uk?

That's what I'm saying, yes.

well done to both. i can't believe some say it only has the sales cuz of mayweather. would mayweather get 1.5 buys if he was boxing his shadow? no?. i think 24/7 and the uk vs usa theme did well.

the fight itself was okay too.

we'll never know fella

one thing is for sure though, any fighter that fights Ricky Hatton now will fight in front of their biggest ever live gate if they can get bigger arenas

That's right. It takes two.

Floyd's appearance on DWTS, his fight and subsequent victory with Oscar, and the two 24/7 shows did a lot for Floyd.

Hatton gained some new US fans from the 24/7 show.

Floyd gained many more new fans from the shows to garner even more sales.

So, Floyd, of course, couldn't do it alone, but he was the major draw.

:

Floyd has found a whole lot more uk fans I reckon
where as Americans don't really like him, most of the peeps I know found him quite funny

Not sure if this has been asked but did this fight beat the Tyson vs Holyfield fight?

No doubt.

Perhaps, his US fans aren't as vocal and supportive as the UK fans are with their athletes, but he does have plenty of support.

And like he stated many times: "controversy sells".

So that's another factor to consider.

you never know fella, in a few years if floyd has been beaten Ricky might get the chance to avenge his defeat over here in a big **** off stadium with a quality atmosphere
