    Why the hate on hatton though?
    Cos some of his fans simply refuse to show PBF any respect. I personally quite like Hatton, but his fans make me wanna laugh at his ass cos they refuse to give PBF his dues.

      What does it matter? Hatton got knocked the **** out. He was exposed and made to look ******. His corner threw in the towel. Floyd called him a *****, then treated him like one. Nobody in the US will ever buy another Hatton PPV.

      It's all past. Let it go.
      I would buy a Hatton PPV again, I live in the U.S.

          HOw sweet of you. But you contributions to Hatton's ppv numbers in the future are like 1 vote to a guy who has no shot at winning the Presidential Election.

          Hatton needs to go back to the U.K and sell out some more arenas to feel better about himself.............the U.S is done with him. No more HBO PPV's either.

            To say that no one in the US would ever buy another Hatton fight is absolutely ignorant. However, it could be argued that perhaps not as many people in the US would buy them.

              Stating the obvious. Margarito sold 25k on Top Rank PPV.

              Cong**** Margarito, you sold more then 1 ppv.

                  You may want to verify your facts. Last I checked, MEN holds 20K.

                  325K > 20K....by at least a little bit.
                  Hatton is more than well supported.NFL would'nt even get the type of away support that Ricky generates....as for PPV he'd outstrip PBF with any quality comparible fight.

                      's

                      Like i said. Floyd's 2yr departure from the sport is due to the fact that he has no more coat tails to ride off of. He uses his opponents star status, and fan following in order to make it into a megafight. He will let Cotto's stock rise with a few more wins, then take Cotto on, then claim that he (Floyd) was the draw. If Floyd was such a popular fighter who can draw big crowds, how come i have never seen a Floyd fight where the arena was pro-Floyd?
