    Dude, I am a business man. I understand the revenue source.

    Did they try to put The World Awaits in the SuperDome? Nope. That "huge gate" mentality is a European mentality. Here in the US, the promoters understand that the money comes from the PPV sales. That is the indicator of success.

    In fact, the priciest tickects are GIVEN away.


    You know what's funny? How your position has changed from Hatton is gonna kick Floyd's ass" to "Hatton has more fans".

    Cong**** on that,

        Right...and what were hatton's PPV sales against opponents NOT named Floyd Mayweather? Was he setting any records then?

        Strange how all these records are being set when Mayweather is on the bill. Odd.

        Before Floyd, Ricky was fighting in half-sold arenas on free HBO. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A BET THAT HATTON'S NEXT FIGHT IS ON FREE (NOT PPV) HBO HERE IN THE STATES?

          If you want to go that route, Hatton got 1Mill + PPV buys in the UK. I'm pretty sure that confirms him as a star as well as the fights he has sold out.

          There you go again, I dare you to quote me where I've said that. Dare you. I'm sure you will respond with the typical, "I don't have to go through the trouble of etc etc etc.

          what IS funny is how you were justifying PBF fighting Hatton because of Hatton's draw power and undefeated record only to call him overrated and fanless after the fight. You're the worst of the worst.

                .
                What did Hatton sell WITHOUT Floyd? What US fight has Hatton ever sold out? Ever?

                  your an idiot. the reason the fights are in casinos usually is because they pay a license fee to host the fight. they dont have that in the uk so they try to get the biggest arenas possible. one ticket to dlh-mayweather was selling for like $20k which would be 400 ppv buys. use some basic mathematics and business sense will ya??

                    Collazo - NOT FILLED

                    Urango - NOT FILLED

                    Castillo - NOT FILLED

                    Mayweather - SOLD OUT IN 30 MINUTES.

                    f.a.c.t.

                      i am 100% sure this fight would have done even better numbers in the UK. they could have got 80k people to an arena plus all the ppv but mayweather is to cowardly to fight in another country unlike the true warrior hatton.
