Ricky Hatton: "Floyd Mayweather Jr Can't Sell Tickets"

[big_james10]

i agree with Hatton..ive always said that. Floyd hasnt had great PPV buys up until the DLH and Hatton fight...He's got to be delusional to think he sold those tickets..LOL phuktard mayweather...id like to see his numbers for his previous ppv's..

The de la Hoya fight sold twice as many as Oscar's fight against Pacquaio. You are delusional if you think 2.4 million paid to see Oscar in one fight but only 1.2 million paid to see him two fights later. Those tickets sold because of Mayweather the same applies to the Hatton fight.

Also, I have seen the numbers for his previous PPVs. All of his PPV fights have sold better than Pacquaio's and Cotto's.

[lcheezy]

this ppv might not do big numbers either but pbf 12 million is guaranteed. thats what its all about. money then get the win.

Mayweather was not the B side in his fight with Hatton period. Anyone who says he was is wrongheaded.

mayweather cant sell **** and thats a fact, a fat sorry english fighter sells better than this american ***** ass cherry picking coward,LOL, at you cause your lover cant sell tickets, LOL, nyahahahaha

idiot do some reading. pacman was in the forbes list top 5 highest paid athlete
he got $40 million dollars for his fight with dela hoya, hatton and endorsement

Still didnt answer any of my damn questions. Grow the *** up kid! And stop pming me.

I can regurgitate pbf's spot on that list but that means shyt when answering my questions. Try again kid.

He's absolutely correct

Floyd was mis-managed and marketed himself completely wrong in the early part of his career, and he has suffered since. He has since oscar and ricky become a cross-over superstar, but he should have been one waaay before that

The annoying thing is like someone else mentioned is he is completely diluded with his self-proclaiming being the undisputed "cash cow" of boxing, ricky, oscar, calzaghe, pac can sell tickets on their own he should be on that level but he is not, its a shame cos his talent deserves it.

I think the US boxing fans are partly to blame they are not supportive enough, if marquez vs mayweather was in the UK it would have sold out months ago

Another delusional hater. You need to go back and look at the PPV numbers before making such ridiculous comments. Ricky Hatton could sell 20,000 seats in his hometown prior to fighting Mayweather, but he couldn't sell 5,000 in America before Mayweather. Hatton had never appeared on PPV in the U.S. before fighting Mayweather (although he did have one PPV in England against Kostya Tyszu). Calzaghe's fight against Jeff Lacy sold 12,000 tickets in Calzaghe's HOMETOWN. That was the largest audience he had ever drawn at the time and that was his 40th fight. Prior to that, the most tickets Calzaghe ever sold on his own was 7,000. After the Lacy fight Calzaghe became a big ticket seller. Pac's fight against Eric Morales only sold 250,000 PPV buys and that was his biggest seller before Oscar de la Hoya. His second fight against Marquez sold only 150,000 PPV and his PPV against David Diaz sold less than 100,000.

None of these guys except Oscar were big sellers prior to fighting big name opponents, including Mayweather; and even's Oscar's sales were the biggest he ever had against Mayweather. Mayweather is no where near as big as Oscar in terms of tickets but he was/is bigger than any of the other guys you are mentioning. The Marquez fight won't do huge numbers, but they will do better than Pac/Marquez. When he meets the winner of Cotto/Pac, the numbers will be two to three times what the Cotto/Pac fight will be.

I wonder if Floyd can even do that if he fought back home at Grand Rapids.....

floyd cant sale tickets for ****, the WNBAs Detroit Shock have a bigger fanbase than Floyd,LOL, nyahahahahaha

[Chuckguy]

He still KO you in the ring hatton and that's what matter the most, selling tickets doesn't guarantee you a win and we the fans don't give a toss about that.

NO but it means more money and that is the bottom line with fighters today
like floyd says
i dont fight for legacy I fight for checks

I dont agree with it but its true

Hatton is laughing his arse all the way to the bank

If this is the case, why isn't Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. fighting on HBO PPV instead of Arum's self-promoted PPV telecasts? I can't remember the last time I saw Chavez Jr. fight and, if I remember correctly, he doesn't hold a world championship belt.
