No, it would be the fact that Hatton draws the crowds, the money, Cotto and Margarito really are unknown compared to Hatton, even Floyd is less known than Hatton

hatton is where the money is at, the proof in the pudding is the fact that Oscar is interested
"Known" where?!?!?
For chrisssakes.... at least make an attempt to post a halfway impartial thought. In England? You damn well better believe it. Hatton is a household name and Cotto could very well be the new 9th planet. In Puerto Rico? It's the other way around. And in case the news hadn't hit you yet, there's a world of boxing outside the UK.
Hattons fans made up 4 5ths of the crowd for the 16000 that attended the Castillo fight, Hatton is well known and you better believe that where ever he fights his rabid fans will out number and drown out Floyds pathetic attendences, take a look at Floyds ppv numbers before he fought Gatti
You know why Hatton fans made up 4/5ths of the Castillo fight crowd? Because UK fight fans are good, loyal fans. And I'm not gonna be caught dead defending Floyd's fan base. But the point remains, Hatton is a household name in the UK, with his loyal fan base. Cotto is a household name in Puerto Rico and in many parts of the U.S. with a particularly high Hispanic fan base. It depends on which side of the fence you happen to be sitting on.
