Hatton will Never be a Big PPV Star in the US

[Peterp]

I was born in England so i'm a huge Ricky Hatton fan but honestly, with his clinching style, i don't see him ever being a big PPV star in the US. he will always need another big name to make big dollars in the US. In Manchester, it's a different story.

I also think there is no way on earth DLH will choose Hatton for his last fight, he doesn't want his career to go out with a clinchfest

Good point, but i think that if he finds a fighter that complements his style, and maybe fights him a few time(like Gatti/Ward) then poeple will respect him like they do Gatti, i gotta say Hatton has alot of heart, and he's very entertaining, he jusy has to steer clear of fighter that will make him look bad(PBF).

Watch his previous fights, he's an extremely exciting fighter when he wants to be.

He's a millionaire.

You are a thousandaire, at best. Does he care? Nope. He has already declared he could retire with the money he has made from boxing....

If Ricky had more Power he wouldn't have a problem

IF hatton shocks the world with a KO agaisnt carrales or castillo, i can see him making some good money in PPV.

I also see him being in some huge PPV pay days, but he would be fighting agaisnt the more popular fighter. I can see hatton being popular here in the states, but no where near what he is in england

Ricky really is the clinchman and thus most fights against good opponents will probably be boring and ugly.

HE DOENST CLINCH OFTEN. his opponents are usually afraid of his incredible inside attack so THEY usually initiate the clinch. And proven by almost all of his other fights, hatton can be an extremely exciting fighter to watch. the MOST exciting IMO. U saying his fights are ugly and boring just says to me and everyone else that u havent seen a lot of his fights. which is fine, but please watch him before u call him boring.

But trust me, when this guy puts on a show, its the best show on earth.

Before the crunhc fights against Tszyu and Collazo Hatton did not clinch hardly at all. The perfect gameplan for Tszyu involved being very close to disallow the long right hand and to tire the older guy out. Against Collazo, it was a much more physical challenge than Hatton knew he was in for and he was hurt several times. Only, unlike most arseholes who come up with some excuse, Hatton stated in front of the whole world that he felt out of his depth at welterweight.
