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

[RozzySean]

I'am a bit disappointed with Hatton and his managment if the fight happens in vegas.He should stand firm and fight in Britain It would be a huge night for britain and boxing around the world if a boxing match sold 90,000+ tickets.

Hatton has no choice in this. He going where Pac's people tell him to go. Don't blame Hatton. Just be happen Hatton is getting his shot at Pac.

Hatton and his team have a say where he fights, if he fights in vegas there will be only about 8,000 of his fans will get tickets and many 1000s wont.Where if it was in britain it would sell at least 80-90,000 easy. Iam not disrespecting Manny's fans but no fighter on the planet can match Hatton for pulling in the crowds.

I wonder how many PPV sales Manny would do in the US if his opponent wasn't Oscar or a Latino fighter. If this fight gets made we're going to find out and I expect it to be limited. Hatton-Manny won't do anywhere near a million US PPV buys in my opinion, maybe less than 500 000. Hatton's UK PPV money total might even be in the same ballpark. I'm no expert on how much Manny's domestic TV market is worth to the promotion but seeing as the GDP of the Phillipines is about 5% of the UK's then I'm guessing Manny's home market is worth relative buttons. The economic leverage is actually pretty samey on both sides in this negotiation.

Can't be arsed to read the whole thread so this may have already been said.

But the simpe truth is it's Hatton and Manny who want the fight in Vegas, it has nothing to do with what the fans want.

Vegas & US PPV makes more money for both fighters, period.

I don't blame them at all, I'd do the same.

It would be just as great if it happens in Vegas,but a fight at Wembley would be historical.
