No Hatton fans fault Hatton soley for the loss, so no I wouldn't say his fan base decreased much whatsoever. Cortez's reputation as a referee however...Comment

since when did gayweather got a fan base? wasn't his fight with baldomir a borefest? the people watching went out even before the fight ended.Comment

Still never understood why Cortez got flack for not allowing Ricky Hatton to illegally hold and hit on the inside.
and people called it not allowing him to "fight his fight"

I was upset with Hatton after the PBF fight, he didn't take the defeat very well IMO regardless of the circumstances.
Saying that, he sold out a 55,000 seater stadium in a space of a few hours in his next fight, so he still has the biggest fan base in boxing and is one of the biggest draws in boxing IMO.Comment

One reason is because he allowed Mayweather to get away with the same tactics. Floyd was the better fighter, but he got the benefit of a hometown referee.Comment
