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.Last edited by Benny Leonard; 12-20-2007, 03:01 AM.Comment

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 forgottenComment

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 OscarComment

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..Comment
