question 4 british fans

[zcm]

wanted 2 no why so many fans watched the mayweather hatton fight (1.1 million buys) but hardly any watched the pac hatton fight (300,000 buys). in both fights hatton was going for the same thing he fought the 2 best fighters of his generation and was trying to become p4p

[wazaa.]

Because Pacquiao cant speak English properly. Thats the main reason.

I heard Hatton - Pac sold 900,000 in the UK.

[Calza appy]

so the promotion for the fight wasnt as good then. seems fair everytime i turned the tv on it was talkin bout hatton mayweather.

and I think I remember 500k? Higher than 300k anyway.

And to answer OP's question,

- Mayweather sold the fight more than Pacquiao did
- Hatton was unbeaten at the time so the bandwagon was a little more crowded
- It was a typical goodie v baddie character clash
- Britain v U.S.A. rivalry
- Mayweather's a bigger name than Pacman over here (note: I only say this based on my own experiences)

didnt think about half of them but they all seem pretty good points, also either way mayweather hatton did more than double hatton pac n those 2 r the 2 biggest in the sport. ur answer is a gd 1 tho

hatton was coming off a massive win against castillo in the may fight, this hyped us up into beleiving he could do it. The pacman fight Ricky had come off a poor performance against lazcano and then a boring fight against paulie.
