PH MY GOSH-HATTON DID 1.2MILLION IN THE UK?!?!?!

[Kev]

Hatton is loved by his fans and he will have a following to the end of his career no matter what happens.

I think if it wasn't already going to happen this pretty much set Hatton-DLH in stone. Not a good match up by any means, but the cash draw is will be amazing.

I bet for every 1 ppv mayweather sold hatton was responsible for 50 of them

In the UK but not in America. Hatton on his own can't generate much of a PPV as Floyd can. I may be wrong but I believe Floyd's fight with Carlos Baldomir drew bigger PPV numbers than any of Ricky's previous fights.

And let's be absolutely clear on one thing. In future after his last performance Hatton won't sell squat in the US whilst Floyd is now a top PPV draw no question.

Sal made an awesome point about the cost too,£15 compared to what,$50 which is like £35 right? Quite a significant difference.

Actually it's more like £25. Your point still stands though.

Good guess though right

why can u tell me what PPV figherts you currently have...

you cant exactly say Holyfield and Jones jr are still PPV

I think that Britain has got just as many legit world champs if not more than the US now

Uh huh.... That's a really thought out post.

Was a bit puzzled by that one as well

It doesn't take a lot of working out how big Hatton is considering they did 850,000 in the States. Floyd did 300,000 odd PPVs when he was the "star" attraction in other fights. Obviously he's much bigger post Oscar fight, but surely not big enough to warrant that kind of jump in numbers.

I'm having trouble with your logic here.


Floyd did 365K -ish average over three pay per views pre-Oscar. Hatton did zero average PPV's pre-Floyd. Yet, you attribute the big numbers to Hatton.

Please explain this apparent logic gap.

I remember Ricky Boxing early in his career at Wembley and bringing around 100 with him. Hes come a long way to think he could sell a Venue in Vegas out all by himself.

How can you gauge Hatton's appeal if he'd never been part of a PPV?

Floyd did 300,000 odd pre-Oscar

Floyd did 850,000 post-Oscar

Floyd more than doubled his audience. That's either a phenomenal rise in popularity OR the other guy was a major force in selling the fight.. as in bigger than Baldomir and Judah

Hope this helps.

Well, HBO and Hatton's promoter have essentially done the gauging for us. If they felt that Hatton-Castillo was a viable PPV, they would have put it on PPV. After all, they are in the business of maximizing their revenues and profits......right? HBO doesn't like to give away what they can sell.

Hatton has a tremendous UK following. Unbelievable. But the reality is that he had zero US PPV buys and had not sold out any of his US fights prior to 'Undefeated'. It will be interesting to see how many U.S. buys that each fighter generates in their next fights.

There is NO QUESTION that 'The World Awaits' was the vehicle that made Floyd take a step-function increase in popularity/notoriety and name recognition.

I don't attribute it to Oscar, per se. It is attributable to the brilliance of the promotion - of which both fighters played a key part. A 24/7 series wasn't really feasible for any other opponents. So both fighters brought some promotional muscle to the table. For Oscar, it was his legendary name. For Floyd, it was the mantle of "p4p king", along with the cult of personality.
