Where are the fanbases? It bewilders me, it really does. Okay, not the best location for this fight and it is expensive, but it seems that there are hardly any fans out there.

Not good at all. This will be a quality scrap.
Not really a fair comparison with England being roughly the size of New York. If Hatton fans were Bradley fans driving to Michigan from the California They'd have to drive from England to Turkey.
I think he meant they were able to bring way more than 500 people across the pond to vegas and whereever else they fought...
Hatton is hardly a fair comparison in terms of popularity though.
