    He can't though not as good as Ricky, so what if you haters out there don't like Ricky and think he's a bum and a washed up club fighter! The thing is Ricky sells tickets that is what promoters want these days tickets sold and PPV viewings high! So really Ricky has got more to offer now days than Floyd (in money wise)
    No he doesn't have more to offer money wise than Floyd.

    I can't bebothered to go into great detail but Floyd vs Pacquiao ( if it were to happen) would be worth far more than Hatton vs Pacquiao.

      Floyd vs Pac wouldn't bring over 30k+ Pinoys from Philippines.

          A Mayweather/Pacquiao fight would be bigger and better than the Pacquiao/Hatton fight just like the Mayweather/Hatton fight was bigger than the Pacquiao/Hatton fight.

          Its easy for boxers like Hatton,Pacquiao,cotto than american sport star, America are tooooo blessed with too many talented star in different sports, So before you see the average sport fan go after boxing in the states it rare..They have too many mainstream sport like Basketball,NHL,NFL etc

          Other countries dont really have that kind of problem so its easier to build a fanbase in Germany for example.

            It's pretty obvious that Pacquiao-Mayweather will sell more than Hatton-Pacquiao even if U.S. falls into another "economic depression".

            It's the biggest thing that can happen in boxing right now.

            Hatton had a huge fan base, but Mayweather is one of the best in this sport. Much better than Hatton and as great as Pacquiao.

            Both guys if this ever happen, will face each other for the "Fighter of Decade Title".

              Hatton hasn't lost his fan base just because he lost to Pacquiao you know, it's still there there is no had about it!

                I like Ricky, but if he's saying that Mayweather can't sell tickets, then he's admitting that he brought a ****-ton too many Englishman over to watch him get sparked.

                  These actions are more of a cultural thing than greatness on Hatton's part in anycase. British people love to travel and get boozed up. Hatton provides them with an excuse to buy their JD and Coke in Las Vegas.


                  This goes hand in hand with Hatton fans knowing little about boxing.

                  That's down to the people, not Hatton. His fanbase is unique but it's nothing special and Hatton is nothing special.
                  So just like i thought you are full of ****t ....you still cant back up what your saying can you ?
                  I didnt think for one minute that you could back up what you said
                  The fact is for what ever reason ...theres no other fighter with a bigger/ loyaler fan base than Hattons ...! you cant prove me different
