Hatton vs Lazcano gate 12 Million Us Dollars

Ricky is right behind Delahoya for biggest draws in the sport.

"Ricky Hatton will set another record tonight when his bout against Juan Lazcano (pictured) becomes the biggest grossing bout in British boxing history. Tickets sales have topped the £6million mark for the IBO light-welterweight title bout at the City of Manchester Stadium."

Jesus christ, and he's on Box office over here.

He will probably end up making more than Calzaghe did against Hopkins.

Floyd is a bigger draw, but yeah there really isn't anyone who can make a claim against Ricky as the number three.

he certainly can get the 'fans' through the gate. It's a shame 90% of them are only Hatton fans and not boxing fans. still fair play to him for getting the love of the mob.

It's really insane how they love him in the UK, Ricky is no doubt P4P the biggest draw in Boxing.

There's no way Floyd is a bigger draw than Hatton.

To put this into Perspective if this card was held in Nevada it would rank in the 8 alltime in the record books of Las Vegas.

This gate is bigger then

Hatton vs Mayweather
Mosley vs Delahoya 2
Delahoya vs Mayorga
Calzaghe vs Hopkins
Delahoya vs Vargas
