Now you dont know what your talking about
Are Boxers can fill football stadiums
Your talking 40, 50 thousand
And ya telling me they aint making money

HBO And Showtime still pay them when there fighting in the U.K

i think most of the money comes from pay-per-view now and not ticket sales.  atleast for a big fight.  hbo and showtime also don't care about the ticket sales, as you point out. 
looking at the size of hatten's crowd's he's fighting in front of 20-25k.

Not recently. There are exceptions to any rule. The majority of the time a big pay per view fight is in the US
