    True, but Hatton has also sold out more arenas and can draw enough followers from the UK to fill up an American arena. That's why HBO and Showtime paid Ricky the big bucks to air his fights. The only big payday Pac has gotten is from DLH and that's only because Ricky turned that fight down (while taking a fight with PM that made RH more $ than MP did against DLH) since DLH was insisting it be at 150 and Ricky didn't want to fight over 140 again, unless it's to rematch PBF.

    Hatton is easily going to be the biggest payday Pac will ever receive in his career. The thread starter/troll is being ridiculous trying to claim that Pac would be a bigger draw in Manchester. If they were to fight in Manchester Hatton would have 95% of a 100,000 seat arena supporting him!

    Pac is big because his win over DLH, while Hatton has been getting much bigger paydays then Pac, since the Tszyu fight. This is not my opinion, it's a FACT!

      I think you're the delusional one. Hatton's biggest payday was against Mayweather. How much was the ticket cost again? 10k fans in Las Vegas has much more higher gate sales than a 50k people in England.

      You're the dlusional one without providing facts. Hatton is not even listed as the top 10 highest payday of a single fighter in a single match.

        Here's some new pics of Pac in Westminster Cathedral Church in.... London I think.
        Pac is like the pope.

          There's been too much talk about this fight. It's a big one and I'm anxious to see it, but I don't care about anything other than the fight itself at this point. The pre-fight hype has exhausted itself.

            This is a good point. It's like when Hatton was being interviewed while Pac and him were arguing about the 60/40 split, Ricky said "I bring thousands of fans from my country to Vegas. I don't see Pacquiao dong the same."

            He doesn't seem to realize that Pacquiao's people are significantly poorer and can't afford plane tickets to Las vegas. I just thought Ricky was dumb for making such a statement.

              If Pac fought in the Philippines, he would make those Hatton fights in England look silly. The whole Country would be there to watch him

                hatton made £1.1 million for the tszyu fight, and £1.9 million against maussa, his career earnings before the tszyu fight was approximately £6 million. (from his autobiography)

                So clearly your talking out of your ass

                I saw the press conference footage and it was nothing like that, if anything manny was getting slightly booed (to be expected). But credit to him he did have a significant amount of support there

                  If it is money, it goes to Hatton. But you have to remember the value of the pound compare to the Philippine peso and economy also. If the peso were are the same as the pound, there would be middle class Pinoys going to Las Vegas. But in reality its only the rich Pinoys that can afford it.

                  But Pacquiao, during fight, actually stops all the crimes and the conflicts in Philippines. Even the criminals rest just to watch Pac. Can Hatton do that?

                    If Manny had the charisma and selling power of Floyd without the rambunctiousness, he would be much more popular than Floyd.

                    Might've even made Floyd jealous enough to un-retire.
