[Dr. Steelhammer]

Maybe in western europe and northern america. But not worldwide.

Hatton is not big at all in America.Not at all.

For a boxer, yeah he's relatively big. For a general sportsman, not at all There are women's basketball players that are bigger here than Hatton. No offense women's basketball players.

If Hatton was on free TV he would be bigger than Cooper, Bruno and MCGuigan

Sorry dear chap you must've posted just as I was .

I aggree with your statement .

[Big Dick Whittington]

I meant in the United Kingdom.

I was asking how popular he'd be if he'd fought on the BBC or ITV

I didnt mean the world .

I think Beckham doesnt have the same appeal as Hatton , Ricky is a man of the people whereas Beckham married Posh spice and lives in a mansion with 30 foot high walls.

I'm not knocking Becks he's a gentleman just think Ricky is more popular .

Beckham is god in some football countries. Hatton is nowhere near his popularity.

LOL.....Hatton the most popular sportsman ever

Though I will say he has to have the most devoted fan base ever; who else can get 25,000 of his countrymen, from any sport, to spend that kind of $$$ to fly over and watch him fight. And it wasn't the 1st time. Cheers to that Brits

I made a mistake in not asking if he's the most popular British sportsman ever, if you read the post instead of the title you'd have realised that instead of posting your silly reply .

No, and by the looks of it no one else read it either, they just saw YOUR silly thread title and jumped on it. My bad though, get over it Dick.
