En partant d'un synonyme de chaud, je pense que selon le contexte et la discussion, ce sont des mots bien perçus en français.
Perçus et rendant également le sens anglais.

more prepared or ready than the others (to buy or make a deal)
In sales, you have potential clients that you can classify in temperatures:
Hot - warm, cold and freezing
This of course is the idea that is a potential client is hot, he is ready to buy. Since it's "hotter", it is being compared to another person or group. The person that is "hotter" is more prepared to buy or make a deal.

Whereas, the colder temperatures are people who are probably not interested in doing any business, or have little interest in doing so.

mieux/plus hameçonnés, (ou tout simplement par chauds)
eh oui... difficile de traduire par chauds (connotation un peu sexuelle parfois) d'où probablement votre question.
C'est pourquoi je propose ce parallèle avec le monde de la pêche.

plus chauds
I think this is the term used in everyday language, but I believe it applies equally in this context.

I've heard it used in lots of contexts without a sexual connotation (which can also be there in EN, of course, too!)

--------------------------------------------------
We talk a lot in En about 'hot / cold (sales) leads', for example: a hot lead is someone who is more likely to buy, whereas a cold one is probably unlikely. And cf. the slightly different usage with 'cold calling', where the salesperson calls on a customer unannounced, with no preparatory work having been done — so the ptoential sales situation is 'cold'.
It really is more about potential, and less about 'enthusiasm', as in your 'hot football' fan example.
We use temperature a lot, as in someone who does a preliminary 'warm-up' on a prospect, in order to hopefully turn it from a cold one to a hot one. And cf. a 'warm-up act' in a variety show or concert.
