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
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.
