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.

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:

its humourous for all concerned!!
Ali, Tyson, Leanard etc had massiv global followings, for being boxers.
Hatton has a massive national and arguably some what regional following of football supporters who mostly support him because he lays the beer and chips shit on a bit too thick.
Not to discredit him too much, I'm sure lots of those fans are legitimate boxing fans but in my opinion the mass following he has is mostly football supporters.
This. Having been at the Hatton-Pacquiao weigh in & fight, I can safely say the vast majority knew fuck all about boxing. Mosley got booed because they couldn't place him immediately, Hopkins got booed by virtue of Calzaghe (who was for some reason re-nicknamed 'Jumpin Joe Calzaghe') & the shrugs & confusion when Juan Manuel Marquez said it all about the number of 'boxing fans' among them.Quote:

Hatton's fans are basically the same tools who go to England matches abroad & start throwing cafe tables at local waiters for 'being foreign' (witnessed that particular gem in Frankfurt in 2006).
My mate at work was talking about that exact same thing earlier in the week, coz he was there too. Said he cringed at being English when that happendQuote:

Hatton is good but not great, plain and simple. Guys like you made him an overrated and overhyped fighter.Quote:

:lolhaha:
Oh please ::** Hatton was cool because the crowd was a novelty but boxing is fine without him. Also, there were boxers with muuuuuch larger followings in the past they just couldn't travel with their fighter, the times wouldn't allow it. Even so, hundreds traveled by rail to watch Joe Louis' pro debut and people grabbed onto absolutely anything he or Dempsey ever did in their lives.
guys like him make any fighter seem overrated and overhyped, he's one step away from saying Hatton walks on water and shits gold :rolleyes:Quote:

wow, nice vids, fans support is great, i was at a M.Cotto fight at MSG, also had alot of fans there , nice crowd
Hatton did have one hell of a fanbase.
It's a shame most of them knew fuck all about boxing and were mostly chavvy pissheads.

To be fair; Modern money has devalued, air travel has now come into the reach of not only the middle class but many of the lower earners can afford to fly once a year.
Back in the day 60's you could buy a double storey house for 3000 pounds in sth London much less in Manchester, nothings is relevant anymore over time, other than the number of fans.
