    Factor in the size of their countries and it's not even close.

          Factor in the size of countries and add Mikkel Kessler to this equation and we have a no-contest.

          How many ppl live in GB? 60,000,000? And 55,000 watched. This gives 0,0917% of the population watched the event live.

          For the Kessler Andrade fight there were 25,000 watching. 5,500,000 ppl live in Denmark. This gives 0,4545% of the population watched it live.

          In other words. Should Hatton equal Kessler's drawing power he would have to attract a whopping 275,000!!!

              Ricky Hatton made 1,5 millon viewers in the UK stay up to close to 5 am to watch him fight.

              Ricky Hatton took 30,000 people to Las Vegas 2 weeks before Christmas to watch him fight.

              No comparison.

                  Since the poll is regarding the 2 fighters in their respective countries it's gotta be Hatton. World-wide it's ODLH hands-down. He will be able to attract a huge crowd wherever.
