Which UK fighter has the largest fanbase?

Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton have both retired after successful careers.

We still have a couple of well known fighters in David Haye, Carl Froch and Amir Khan.

Which one has the biggest fanbase both television wise and ticket sales?

Dont think any really have major fanbases tbh, Cleverly probably has more than all of them

It normally starts of with their football clubs fans following them. Clev has the whole of Wales. There were loooads in Brum the other week, but then there were a few sheep shaggers on the card that night

cleverly might have soon, but no way near at the moment, i would say khan and haye are very close but considering khans not a heavyweight i think he does pretty well, thats not start comparing his fan base to hatton untill his involved in a superfight in vegas, i bet if he were to fight fmj in the usa he would take atleast 20,000 brits with him or if the fight was at wembley stadium he would sell 60,000 tickets !
haye would probably match him if it was one of the klitschos.....thats wait and see !

I left out Cleverly because he's not as established as the other 3 and also he's not really been a headline act up to now.

If he keeps performing like he has then he'll be up there. But at the moment there are only 3 at the top table.
