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
So your admitting that after ali/tyson, hatton is the most popular sportsman of all time!!

very well said morales, youve gone up in my estimations now
no i'm not saying that you retard, he's far from it, DLH, Pacquiao, and hell even Holyfield are all more popular internationally than Hatton
