    we'll just see how many fans Manny has ringside on the night.....Ricky's following will totally dwarf Pacs

        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.

          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 LA

            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.

                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.

                  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 hatton

                    Who cares if Ricky has the most fans in Vegas.
                    They won't be able to help him in the ring when Pac whoop that arse.

                      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.
