What is Hatton doing???

[killersheep]

PBF makes me laugh.

He cannot sell out Mandalay Bay yet he expects $9m. Hatton sells out a 22,000 MEN arena everytime he fights there and PBF expects him to take less. Once Hatton is as popular stateside he will also sell out these venues, and with that he should have greater bargining power for a fairer split of the purse.

Of course you realize Hatton only drew in 8,000 people when he fought Collazo right? And his perfomance that night will not draw in any new American fans.

8000 people is a great start, give him a chance.

I do give him a chance, but you have to think about the fact that this was the first time for casual boxing fans from america to see him. That is their only impression, and it wasn't a good enough performance for them to take the time to go to youtube to see his other fights. Also, his next fight is against Juan Urango, also not a draw for American audiences. If Hatton is looking to sell out arenas in America, he is going about it the wrong way.
We all know that everyone and their kin will go to see him at MEN, we get it, he is popular in the UK. Just don't imply that things will work the same stateside, you can't speak for us.
