    If you don't think the price has ANYTHING to do with it, you're lying to yourself.

    Furthermore, it's not very important who the draw is. If Hatton is the draw, it's by 50,000 fans. And those extra bit of fans got to see him lose. So, that's exciting.

    By the way, NOBODY equates to 850,000 fans? LOL. Right.
    The fight cost about £15, which at todays exchange rates is about 5$ cheaper than it was in the US. But most of the people in the US bought it for Hatton anyway, so price is NOT a valid arguement.

      If Mayweather ISN'T a draw then why did your husband Margarito and Bob Arum offer to pay him 8 million BEFORE Oscar? Because they WOULDN'T get a return?

      God, you're a moron. Go kill yourself.
      they offered that amount because they knew the coward mayweather was scared of margarito and they thought it would be enough to make the fight. obviously there is no amount of money in the world that would make mayweather fight the tijuana tornado.

        They were BOTH draws, but giving Mayweather no credit is ridiculous (which is my point). Hatton got rich from fighting mayweather, if hatton fights anyone else (besides de la hoya) he's not making nearly as much. simple logic.
        Im not giving Mayweather no credit, but he doesnt deserve as much as Hatton because he was not the draw in that fight.

            And where is your proof of that?

            He's never had an American PPV. Never sold out an American venue. And all of a sudden has 850,000 American fans? Right. And I'm the idiot who's going to buy that.

              Right, so Williams fought him for less and schooled him.

              Moving right along.

                These are rough numbers. Meaning, SURPRISINGLY it's not exact. They are roughly the same, actually. Except that if Hatton fought Castillo on PPV over there, the fight dips from that number. And Mayweather only previously got those mnumbers with Mayweather. Therefore, they both need eachother.

                Jesus, haters cling to ANYTHING.

                  Even with de la hoya, if oscar fights fighter X, it's not selling as much as fighting Mayweather.

                  being the best p4p fighter in the WORLD...YOU WOULD THINK after Dancing with the stars and 24/7 ..this would sell more..

                  Dela sold that much fighting Mayo with no dancing show and 24/7

                    Well, since you are the one asking for proof, prove that Mayweather was the draw please?

                    And none of this De La Hoya numbers bollocks, everyone knows the reason that fight did so well was the "De La Hoya Factor"
