    Please Explain To Me How Hatton Was The Draw!

    I hear it all the time on here, that Floyd has to prove himself to be a draw because Oscar carried the 1st card and Hatton carried the 2nd card. At best they say that Floyd was even up or just lower then Hatton but Ricky was definatly the draw.

    When it comes to the Oscar fight I will give him his props because we all know who Oscar is but he still broke records with Floyd. No one has more big names on there resume than Oscar and he broke boxing records with Floyd. Dont tell me that Floyd had nothing to do with that. If you think that then youre lying to yourself but again, Ill give Oscar his due.

    Hatton though, gets nothing from me. I dont see how people and media guys can sit there and say that with a straight face. Its like they dont even really think about it. I always ask this one question and I still never get a response. Who the hell in the US knew who Hatton was? No one. Sure he's beein in Europe and has some fans coming over but what does that have to do with US PPV sales. No one knew Hatton, no one. It was Floyd that sold that fight in the US and Floyd only. Dont give me this stuff that Floyd hasnt proven anything when it comes to sales or being the draw. Who knew Hatton? Seriously. No one was spending all that money to see Hatton fight. People knew Floyd. Give the man his props

      ugh, look at the crowed that night..
      hattonites everywhere AND it was Vegas,
      the place where Mayweather lives.
      look at the ppv numbers.
      look at the ppv numbers Hatton did with Pacquiao as well
      & look at the crowed Hatton drew for that fight too.

      Now look at the crowed Mayweather is drawing
      for the Marquez fight.. lol

        Hatton brings all those to people to his fights, no matter where he is. Floyd is popular, just not as much as Hatton IMO.

              DLT, you know I got nothing but love for you, but come on maing.

              Hatton was the one that sold that place out.

              When you got more fans flying across the pond to see you fight than the guy from the U.S does going from his own city to see him, you know you're the draw.

              Mayweather can't draw **** on his own.

              Well maybe ****, but thats it.

                you are such a ****ing dumb ass.

                no body has vegas backing them as their home town hero no matter if you live there, it ****ing vegas for christs sake. hatton can draw his live britt crowd to the us, thats it why has he only been on HBO PPV for 2 fights against marquee names?

                ppv numbers? you are going to tell me that hatton carried the US PPV numbers? lmao. hattons first big fight in the US after fighting uknowns in the UK his whole career was one year before the mayweather fight, 3 fights on HBO, collazo, urango, shot castillo. but mayweather was just coming off the richest boxing fight in history, and you are going to sit there and say that hatton carried the numbers for their fight.

                the mayweather-hatton fight was in the making for 2 years and every one was hyping the **** out of hatton as the one to beat mayweather,

                mayweather-marquez is a ****ing tune up.

                ****ing hater.

                    Casual fans will like his style coz he's a brawler and it's pleasing to the eyes. But of course if you put him against elite fighters like Floyd and Pac. You know what happened.
