    Does it have more ACTUAL value, if you make it in a smaller pond? No.

    Your money is worth more, true. But you still made less.

    Ever hear someone say "He made 2 million for that movie in 19?? which is todays equal on 15 million"

    If you go to box office records though, 15 still beats 2. No matter how you cut it.
    Ratios are part of scientific math .. you cant ignore them.. They are how comparisons are made.. many times they work In the USA's favour.. should we ignore them then??...

    You cant argue with math... It is or it isn't.. in this case it is... Its very simple Grade 9 math ....

    Smaller Population yet larger Numbers.. That alone says it all...

    You tell me whats more impressive.. selling a million items to a market of 300 million.. or selling a million items in a market of 60 million... any mathamtician will tell you it's the latter.. any statastician will tell you it's the latter.. any Business man will tell you the latter is the better market..

    I repeat.. I know you dont like it... But that don't change it..

      Once again, why woudl I give a ****? Let's say he was a HUGE draw, comapred to Mayweather. If I was a nuthugger... does that change the outcome of my favorite fighter, if Mayweather WAS my favorite fighter? No.

      I have no reason to be biased on this. Mayweather got paid more, gets paid more, has does more overall numbers and Hatton got HIS highest payday. You mean to tell me, mayweather had NOTHING to do with that?

        The only reason Brits are giving Floyd no respect is because all of Britain is racist. I mean just reading some of these comments is hilarious. Do you guys actually think that Hatton is the bigger draw in the U.S. than Floyd? You guys do understand that absolutely no one knew about Ricky Hatton in the U.S. before he signed to fight Floyd. And now, everyone that got to know him through his head hitting the turnbuckle before he crumbled to the gorund has forgotten about him. You know why? Because no one cares about Britain in the U.S. It's only the Brits that care about us so much.

          Floyd will continue to put up decent numbers with regular opponents, and great numbers with popular opponents. For someone with his status, he should be putting up GREAT numbers no matter who he fights though. Am i wrong?

            That's absurd. The U.K. isn't full of racists. Just fans looking to take away from Mayweather in SOME way. Or it would seem.

            Which I can understand, I just don't get it. Mayweather has tremendously dumb fans. Why fight that with more outright hatred. Neither sin is any less crazy.

              Hatton made more Money.. I dont care personaly...
              I am a fan of neither fighter.. I find both of their fan bases to be full of idiots and jerks..

              I do however love numbers and what they can tell me.. Which is why This thread was of interest to me..

              All the opinons in it aren't worth ****.. only the numbers are worth anything.. I enjoy seeing cold hard Logical facts win..

                Other than De La Hoya, Holyfield or Tyson, who has better numbers than Mayweather, consistently?

                  Haton made more money than Mayweather. Where'd you get those fun little numbers from?
