the crowd in hatton fights are mostly brits who come down. hatton doesn't have a big fanbase in vegas or america. his fights sell because of his british fanbase who travels.isay it will be 70-30 more fans for hatton...pac will have a large group, larger then floyd had a gainst hatton....but it is a fact las vegas is hatton's adopted american home...las vegans love him more then pac.....he will have most american fans there....add 15,000-20,000 brits...pac's fan group gets overwhelmed imoComment

that was the case say 2 or 3 years ago, but the las vegas do love hatton a lot...i know people who own shops and they say hatton is a beloved figure in vegas, because of the brits he brings...he is really quite popular in las vegas.....like how manny is in LAComment

las vegas casino and business people love hatton fights because brits come down and spend money.
not the same thing as having fans root for you.Comment

Zakly. And the Brits spend in the highest margin category - alcohol!! Nothing is more profitable in hospitality than alcohol.
In fact, I would bet you that Hatton fans generate as much "per capita" profit as TWO Oscar fans. Whenever I go to an Oscar fight, it is all corporate types and ****. And square-assed Mexican chicks a year removed from their quinceanera.Comment

either way its 70-30 in hattons fan support....and thats me being conservative...it could easily be 80-20 in favor of hatton....for the floyd fight it was 90-10 in favor of hattonComment

yup.
if pacquiao can fight in san antonio against a barrera crowd or fight ledwaba on short notice......i don't see how several thousand drunk brits is gonna affect him.Comment
