Is Hatton biggest draw in combat sports ?

[CiganoBoxer]

Fair play to Ricky Hatton in his comeback after 3 years, hes fighting a former world champ whose only loss is in defending his title , i think its a decent enough test for Hatton whos had a three year lay off from any type of training.
More aside can we all agree, no other fighter in combat sports, be it mma or boxing ,can match him support wise?
The hitman has for his comeback fight alone sold 16 thousand tickets to fans that at the time of purchase did not even know who he was fighting !!
Also lets not forget him in the past taking 30.000 fans many time around the world to watch him fight ,many only got to see the weigh ins lol
Please tell me ,who else could do that in mma or boxing or K1 ?

[Mayweather41-0]

Mayweather, Pacquiao, Cotto, Klitschko, Marquez, Sergio Martinez can all do that.

not no1 whos alive now i dont think hes really the peoples champ for a man to make that much money and fame and to still go play darts down your local tells you everything about the man people take the piss coz of his lifestyle between fights but once it came to training he was like an animal

yes...... short and simple

Ricky Hattons fanbase is full of inbred racist fat drunk rapists haha, worst fanbase in the world

The greatest day was when his delusional fanbase saw him get TKO'd by Floyd. They really believed he was the greatest boxer alive fighting bums over in Europe. Then they thought Hatton would beat Pacman, only to see him demolished.

Attendance-wise, he's up there. But the Klitschko's sell 50-70k without breaking a sweat. Arthur Abraham, Mikkel Kessler are all pretty big ticket sellers in Germany, Denmark respectively. Chavez Jr, Canelo.

There's also Japanese boxers who sell a lot of tickets. Devon Alexander is a big ticket seller in St Louis.

Mayweather and Pacquiao sell out tickets pretty quick and they probably sell the most expensive tickets. You never see the revenue for these 50-70k tickets sold by the Klitschko's, that's cause they're probably cheap.

Hatton could do 50k+ easy (and has done)

but none of these fighters mentioned would take 30k people to a foreign country to support him.

A big draw is not only how many fans come to see you. How about how many fans dish out $50 or 25 euro for your PPVs? Can Hatton-Senschenko be on SKY PPV and do at least 500k buys?
