Didn't PBF vs Hatton outsell Hatton vs Pac so I think PBF must be bigger over here. Not by much though, PBF vs Hatton was just an easier sell because of they were polar opposites and there was a lot of trash talking.
People who say PBF must be popular in the UK just because he beat hatton are fools. That's like saying the Portugese Football team must be massive in the UK since they knocked England out of the 2006 world cup because 20 million people watched that game.
About 5% of the people who bought the Mayweather-Hatton fight will buy Floyd-JMM at the most, add another 2.5% who might buy it for the Matthew Hatton-Zab Judah fight and you have a maximum of 7.5% of the Hatton-Floyd numbers which is what 150,000. That's the maximum though, I think it'll do less than 100,000 myself.
Floyd vs Pac will do better though, at least twice as many but this fight is seen by most as way too one-sided.
