Floyd is definitely not a star PPV attraction or world wide celebrity, over in the UK at least. If he fights we will all watch if he does not then we will not really care. He is not worth the gross amounts of money people are quoting but sadly I think he loves his unbeaten record too much to risk the fight.
What are you on about Master? Did you see when 5000 people turned up to his workout in east London on 3 days' notice? I can tell you that at least with the black community over here, he's a huge star. I'd argue of active fighters, only Haye & maybe Khan are bigger over here.
That may be more to do with Hatton fight than Floyd himself and i think Pac Man may be bigger over here.
I definitely disagree with that. I agree that Hatton part played a fight, but 1.4m people watched that over here, so he will have picked up fans. Less than 400,000 watched the Pac fight. I'd definitely say Floyd is bigger, I mean 5000 people don't turn up to see somebody they've got no interest in, I was there & it was all fans.
