      Man these are some b.s. poll results so far. Most voters don't really know the UK situation at all and are pretty much just guessing that he's popular

          Happily asleep, I expect, from watching such a masterful boxing performance that eases the mind after such a pleasant experience of seeing Greatness.










          This was not an exciting fight, I agree. Floyd's exciting fights were at lighweight...except this last one against Hatton was good.

            just because he is a household name, doesnt mean he gained fans. Fidel Castro is a household name. Jefery Dahmer is a household name. Star Jones is a household name. Does it mean they have fans everywhere, no.

              The vast majority of people who bought the Hatton-Mayweather PPV had never seen Hatton or Mayweather fight before, it was largely down to Hatton being friends with Wayne Rooney

              The 90% of the nation who didn't watch this Hatton fight, wouldn't know who Mayweather was, and in a few months time those who did watch this Hatton fight would have forgotten

                what are u talking about, do u really think that people would stay up till 4am just because a bloke is friends with Wayne Rooney?

                Heres some facts, Ricky hatton is the most famous person in Manchester by far, EVERYBODY knows him and apart from the odd united fan everybody loves him. I can't speak about the rest of the uk as I am from Manchester.
                Fact 2 - Floyd mayweather is not a household name in the uk.
                Boxing fans know of him but they knew him b4 the fight. Another thing, Mayweather is more famous in the uk than Oscar

                  Ask your mummy and daddy '"who is Mayweather?"..

                  Answer: I don't know.

                  Mayweather is not Household name in UK.

                    People who didnt even know the fight was going on.. still know who Ricky Hatton is...

                    I bet Most Brits.. could look at a Pic of Mayweather and not know it's him...

                    NO he is NOT a Household name over here.. Not anymore that Peter Crouch is a Household name over there..

                      I could go out right now and chap on the doors of one hundred houses and ask the residents if they were familiar with Floyd Mayweather, and i'd be seriously surprised if more than 5 of them knew who Mayweather was.
