To say that US fans bought PPV to the tune of 850K to see Hatton, a fighter that most Americans knew nothing about, is fucking idiotic. Mayweather sold that fight in the US and Hatton sold that fight in the UK.
Exactly, these guys are talking as though the British fans had a say in the 850'000 HBO figure. Those are U.S numbers where I imagine most people couldn't give 2 shits about Ricky Hatton.

Also the Oscar fight - If Mayweather was such a weak draw how did his fight with Oscar beat the Trinidad/Oscar fight? (By a country mile)

Floyd is a draw..even if only for people wanting to see him get beat.
