Is calzaghe gettin as many fans from whales as hatton did in december?

Question

Im just wondering how many welsh fans are coming over to watch joe calzaghe fight bernard hopkins, hatton had about 10,000 come over and had maybe 7,000 fans chanting in the mgm grand arena, if anyone knows if there will be a atmosphere like hatton-mayweather tell me.

Answer 4

There will be a lot of Joe Calzaghe fans, but it will not be like the Mayweather-Hatton fight, otherwise this fight would be on pay-per view.  I think that Calzaghe will have more fans than Hopkins, but the atmosphere at Mayweather-Hatton was just crazy and I don't think that this fight will match that.  It will still be a very big event and there will be a lively crowd, but Calzaghe does not sell like Hatton, and Hopkins does not sell like Mayweather, and I don't think that this weekend's fight will top that one in that respect.  Anyways, I'm really looking forward to seeing if the true super middleweight champion of the world move up and try to dethrone the true light heavyweight champion of the world- a lot of people are saying this will be boring, but I think that they'll both put on a pretty good fight and the crowd will make the atmosphere that much better (just not like Mayweather-Hatton).

Answer 5

Reports are saying 10000 to 15000 fans may be travelling accross from Britain (not just Wales, we all support Joe) this weekend for the big fight. I would be going myself but my wife still isnt happy with how much money i spent in December for the Hatton fight.

I would just like to add reports have said it was more like 35000 that travelled accross for the Hatton Vs Mayweather fight. There was virtually the whole 20000 in the MGM Garden Arena and there were lots of other venues on the strip that had it on closed circuit tv screenings that British fans were still struggling to get tickets too just before the fight because they were sold out too.

Answer 6

Considering how fat and sloppy Hatton was in his fight with Mayweather. If the Brits really care about they're boxer's then there should be many more 'cheers' for Calzaghe (a true champion).
