    I think it'll sell about the same amount as Wrestlemania or even a little more.
    You want to make a bet on that..?

      Hatton could have fought TYZU on ppv?
      Hatton was an unknown. When was the last time that HBO covered a fight between two foreigners, on the other side of the world? Especially when one of them was unknown outside of his own country and had won no meaningful fights? And the fight was on at a time to suit the UK.

      That Hatton chose to have the fight in the UK, at a time that suited a UK audience, and HBO were not happy with this.

      I dont even have to bring up Floyd...
      Because Floyd fought Henry Bruseles on HBO...
      You are talking about America, not the whole world. Of course an American Olympian will be more popular than a UK guy that most Americans have never heard of (before Tszyu) or is coming off of a KO loss (after PBF).

          don't take that bet silence. a lot of ppv's aren't doing as well as expected in the u.s. right now. the economy is bad and people are tightening their budgets.

            I respect you advice and thank you for it but it's DLH and Pacquiao, in what is supposedly DLH's last fight, I think it'd sell very well.

            And it's only 10k.

              also


              Sultan Ibragimov vs.Wladimir Klitschko
              Joe Calzaghe vs.Mikkel Kessler
              Juan Manuel Lopez vs.Daniel Ponce de Leon
              Alexander Povetkin vs.Eddie Chambers

              Do you think Pacquaio vs. Lazcano would have been on Hbo?

                  I got to cover my other bets, the most I am willing to do is 15k and I meant in the States, if you're talking worldwide then I think Mayweather-Hatton does better.

                      Deal. Sigged. Just for the record, Mayweather-Hatton in the States did 850,000 buys.
