Do you think as many Brits that followed Hatton to Vegas would follow Froch? I'm thinking he's getting to that stage now.
Hatton was a phenom for that, Calzaghe drew over 55,000 to Cardiff milenium stadium, over 3 times as many that went to Froch v Kessler but even he didnt have as many travelling fans as Hatton, no where near in fact!

About Calzaghe v Hopkins...

BBC NEWS | UK | Wales | Viva Las Vegas for Calzaghe fans

"The build-up of Welsh rugby jerseys and proud beer paunches around town is slowly proceeding, but local taxi driver Jorge was surprised not to see more.
"For Ricky Hatton v Floyd Mayweather, the English [sic] were here all week, partying and drinking beer - it was crazy," said Jorge, who claims to have seen hundreds of big fights in his 40 years in Vegas. But where have they been this week? They weren't here. I think this fight will build Calzaghe's profile, maybe raise him up to the level of Hatton. That's my opinion of his standing, but as a boxer... yeah, he's good. Joe will win this one."
