Maybe, maybe not. Sure the UK ppv sales are mostly Hatton fans, but It's the fact that Hatton is fighting the #1 p4p that really draws the big sales, wouldn't you say? Maybe compare the potential ppv sales to that of Hatton-Maglianaggi or Hatton Lazcano, then ask yourself whether the UK ppv sales is all because of Hatton.
No, based on a sheer numbers basis Hatton factually generates more money than Pac. The Phillipines is a poor area and does not generate high PPV sales. UK fans, on the other hand, generate massive PPV sales.
I'm not sure you get my point. Just because it's a UK ppv buy, doesn't mean Hatton gets all the credit for the sale. It's because Hatton is fighting the #1 guy that the sales will be so big. Unless you think the UK buyers don't really care who Hatton is fighting.
