Hatton offers Mayweather 5 million (UK POUNDS - not $) to come to england.

I love how everyone turns into market analysts, accountants, boxing promoters, and all sorts of other shit when these rumours pop up. Most people don't have a damn clue what the fight is worth and spouting out pie in the sky statements like "he should get at least blah, blah" is total speculation. Might as well let the situation run it's course.

REALITY CHECK: Mayweather made 10 million fighting Carlos Baldomir. There is no way hell Mayweather agrees to fight Hatton for LESS MONEY THEN HE MADE FIGHTING BALDOMIR. The Hattons know this.......... Even if Hatton is finally serious about taking this fight( questionable ), it will be killed at the negotiation table.

5 million quid = 10 million dollars....

I know that Hatton asked for more money than that to fight PBF in the States.

Floyd will not agree to box Ricky in the UK, simple as that. The amount of money that would peroahps even tempt Mayweather into coming over here, the promoters would not be able to afford.

I reckon Floyd will not accept the offer, & we'll see his camp come back with an offer for Ricky to fight in the USA. If this is the case of events, I'd be curious to know what the offer from Mayweather's camp would be?

David, you say $9/10M is a massive, but let me put the pffer into perspective for you. Tyson earned $9M IN 1989 for fighting Bruno. That was over 18 years, and inflation has happened sine then. I know Tyson was a PPV draw like no other, but still that was over 18 years ago.

If the fight happens, it'll be the USA, no other location. Las Vegas the most likeliest of venues for the fight.

One senses that if the fight goes by the wayside now, it'll never happen. If both genuinely want the fight, then they should be careful not to miss the boat so-to-speak. Nothing has been set-in-stone, no contracts signed or anything like that & there's a lot of hype about the bout happening. If it doesn't happen, it'll be a big let-down for us fans.

That's the only fear I have in respect of this fight, & half the reason why I'm excited but only a little bit. I want something concrete before getting my expectations up.

Tyson was a heavyweight, they play by different rules financially.

Hw's are always gonna make more. not a good perspective.

[PATSYS]

For me $10M offer is quite reasonable already.

But I want to hear what PBF offers Hatton if the fight is in the US. I doubt PBF could offer even close to that.

[limi_7]

I really don't care what most of you think. A 10 million dollar offer and its not enough? You do the math. If floyd wants to really prove his record, he shouldn't care so much about the money, I mean common 10 million thats a lot, but reputation is bigger.

click on the view finder, 90,000 for a boxing bout, the atmosphere would be amazing, hatton would love it and i also believe PBF would thrive in it too ( me against the world mentality would kick in )

would be a great spectacle at wembley i reckon

10 mill for mayweather
6 mill for hatton

That seems fair ..

This fight will bring in more fans for Hatton he will be like the Delahoya in the UK for this fight ..I'm sure it will be the same where more people are not only gonna support Ricky for National pride but they will tune in to see if he could beat the best fighter P4P ..



It gives me chills juts thinking about this fight !!!

Well, it seems while Floyd "took the lead" in negoitiations with his 'Punk ass sign the contract" routine, but now,Hatton has countered the offer.

Still got questions surrounding this offer though?? Is it 5P/10M then a 60/40 PPV split for Floyd?? Because if it's the base guaranteed offer, plus PPV, promotions and such?? Then Floyd stands to make somewhere in the 12-15 Million range all told. He's not making that much against SSM, Cotto, or the Margarito vs Williams winner so it could be a VERY LUCRATIVE and perhaps the top offer Floyd might recieve.

What Floyd should do now, is COUNTER BACK. What's their figures?? What are they offering to fight here in the USA, ??? Or what's the price to go to the UK???

There's NO QUESTION that Wembley would be a much larger scale atmosphere, but it's also Hatton's backyard. So, I look forwrad to the next volley.

But 5P/10M FLAT???? The fight's simply worth more, Shit, IMO Hatton should get 10M and PBF should get 12M plus(++++) a 60/40 Split in favor of Floyd in the PPV revenue divided between them.

Wonder what the PBF "offer" was worth?? Hope to hear what the counter-offer is worth
