SKy Sports just - Hatton v Pac set for May in USA ??

[Fenster]

Does it matter where Hatton gets his ass kicked?...As vfor all you Brits crying about what America wants this is a brit a phil fighter, fuck Arum, etc....here is a tid bit for ya

Fuk Hatton and what he wants...why does he get a pro Hatton crowd? Pacquiao is the #1 P4P fighter not Hatton...Pacquiao is the bigger draw not Hatton.....Let it be Pacquiaos choice...Hatton doesn't like it let him fight Kendall Holt

I think you'll find MANY British guys, true boxing fans, not just hatton fans, would like to attend this event live.. having the fight in Vegas means traipsing around the world, costing fortunes, so impossible.

The true fan misses out.

It makes it more difficult. However, Hatton fans will go anywhere to support him. In his most recent right against Malignaggi, in Vegas, Hatton a Brit, had by far the edge in crowd support.

Having the fight in Vegas may sell more tickets to the Philipinos and Mexican fans of Pacquiao. Then again, not sure it would trump how many tickets Hatton v. Pacquiao would sell in London.

Hatton has the biggest fan support in boxing, for sure. Not just the travellers, his fight with Floyd did over a million PPV buys in Britain alone.

If the fight happened in London/England/Britain it would do HUGE ticket numbers.. numbers that would piss all over the 15,000 Vegas casino numbers.

Pac, and his people, probably wouldn't fancy facing Hatton with a 60,000+ pro Hatton crowd though, unless the money was astronomical... that's why Arum is already making excuses.

I thought Hatton said Lazcano was going to be his last fight in the UK.

At any rate, both PAC and Hatton have phenomenal draws, BUT Hatton's fans are more likely to spend money on seats and PPV's. From what I have seen PAC has a rabid audience that streams fights, that's cool but ultimately this is business and dollars talk. This fight should be held where the most money can be made. In my estimation the UK would make the most sense financially, of course PAC being the #1 p4p fighter in the world should have the ability to call the shots on this deal. Both guys have lots of opportunity in other fights but neither can expect a bigger payday from what they can give each other.
