    Most Americans don't even know who Hatton was until he fought Mayweather. And most still don't even know who he is. Hatton may be popular in Britain but not the world or even America. The only famous Brit that Americans know is probably David Beckham and probably Hugh Grant.

    Id doubt many americans would know the likes of manny pacquiao or oscar de la hoya either.

    But their phillipino and mexican/american fans alone make them massive hits just like hatton and his legion of supporters do.

    Could floyd mayweather sell out at his local football stadium if he fought there?? i doubt it
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    Actually many Americans have known about Oscar since his olympic days for being the only gold medal winner for the USA in boxing. And I'm talking about the average joes. Not to mentioned he was marketed just like Leonard was in his day going on late night shows and appearing in commercials.

    Floyd fights a style that doesn't appease to the average sports fan that's why he doesn't sell out. If his style was like Leonard he would have been marketed better, thus selling out his fights more in his early days.

    You would be hard pressed to find an American who doesn't know who ODLH is. Pacquiao has also definately made his presence known after beating ODLH stateside.

    As for Mayweather selling out his local football stadium, I think the Vegas soccer stadium seats about 500 so I'm sure he could manage that.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Why Pac-Man, of course. Nobody else even close.
