Some of the old Dempsey fights had ridiculous support. I think one had over 100,000 fans there.

In terms of what??
Did ali bring 35,000 fans over to britain when he fought henry cooper? did he even bring 1,000???
Tyson was quite famous.
South London was brought to a standstill when he visited in 2000.

Both Tyson and Ali would sell out arenas in countries that neither fighter that was involved in were natives of the country, and there was always a huge buzzQuote:

Ali/Frazier III - Phillipines
Ali/Foreman- Zaire
Tyson/Douglas (who wasn't even really considered a real test)- Japan
all sold out, obviously they didn't make as much money cause things weren't as expensive as now, if those fights would have taken place today it would have made millions more than anything Hatton has been in, anyone can get their hometown fans to fly over and break bank to go see them, even Taylor and Pavlik do that, but the real impressive thing is if you can get a country who has nothing to do with you to back you up, which both Tyson and Ali have done
You think Hatton is more famous than Tyson?Quote:

Tyson could pack-out anywhere on the planet with the locals. He didn't need a travelling army to make a noise.
So your admitting that after ali/tyson, hatton is the most popular sportsman of all time!!Quote:
