hatton vs. khan possible next year

[HattonTheHammer]

err.. what? Khan is a massive star in Britain, sells 10,000 tickets fighting guys no-one has ever heard of and is a PPV fighter. A fight with Hatton would sell out a stadium easily. The PPV would be massive.

Woods = nobody.
Froch = No TV deal and sells 6,000 tickets in Nottingham.

Neither were ever serious rivals or a big fight for Calzaghe.

Witter? Hatton was only in mega fights in the States against BIG names. The Powderpuff, Urango and Collazo fights weren't big events at all.

HBO refused to buy the Lazcano fight yet Hatton still fought in England because he's big enough a star to sell 55,000 tickets fighting a washed up nobody. Hatton could have (should have) fought Witter anytime he wanted. And Hatton is finished as an American attraction.

Hatton didnt see a fight with witter who was an established world champion as sellable even before he got in with the likes of castillo and mayweather

Now he has been in with that level of opponent you honestly think at this stage in his career he`ll jump at the chance to fight a domestic showdown despite the fact he`s now a good 10-20 million quid richer??

Yeah right Hatton's main excuse (one of a billion) was not giving Witter a payday.

Do you not understand Hatton sells out any fight in Britain regardless of the opponent? Do you not understand Khan's a star in Britain? That domestic showdown is the biggest fight for Hatton by miles.

Read this about Hatton's stateside appeal - Following recent claims from Ricky that he is the draw in the Mayweather fight, Ellerbe was quick to point out the facts: "The British fans have had unlimited access to all three of his previous fights here in the US and not one has come close to selling out. The facts are he did about 4200 paid attendance in a 18,000 seat arena in the Collazo fight that grossed $500k, he fought in the Paris ballroom against Urango and had a 5200 paid attendance that grossed $1.2m, and then he did 9800 paid at the Thomas and Mack arena with Castillo, the same arena Floyd did 15,000 with Judah coming off a loss. I guess since none of these fights soldout, then it must of been imposter instead of Ricky Hatton".

As Ellerbe mentioned Floyd's previous fight with Judah, Mayweather's purse against Baldomir was $8m, Hatton made an estimated £500,000 against Castillo - just over $1m.

Maybe the fact we have to travel thousands of miles for the privilage

No the american interest for ricky isnt what it is for mayweather and a lot of other US boxers. But the fact he can still fill a large stadium in a whole different nation shows there is interest

The facts say he can't.

The point is - Hatton is a tremendous selling boxing star, but nowhere near the size in America you make out, he couldn't earn 6 million fighting nobodies before and certainly can't now
