    Ray Hatton was quoted in the Guardian as saying if Pac doesn't accept 50/50 there is another big fight in the British isle that has been offered. What fight could this be then...please god don't let it be De La Hoya, and the only other fighter that could make it a big fight would be Mayweather and that's very unlikely, could possibly be JMM but doubt it, is there anyone else? I think Ray is just bluffing to be honest.

    I'd rather Hatton fought JMM instead of Pac, but Nate deserves a money fight. The poor bloke couldn't get a money fight at a gypsy wedding (I think his biggest pay day to date is 300k)

    I dont know if its JMM seeing as he has Diaz next but if it its a perfect chance for JMM to get another fight with Pac considering the winner of Hatton vs JMM would be almost guaranteed a shot at him.

    Could be any. He could fight the winner of Bradley-Holt, winner of JMM-Diaz, Nate Campbell, he could even step up to 147 again if he wanted and fight possibly Cotto, he's one of the biggest drawers in boxing fighting across 2 of the most packed divisions so it could be a number of fighters.

    Correct

    Hatton could make a killing fighting anyone really

    Khan, if he beats Barrera, is a mega money fight

    Witter could make Hatton a killing, because Junior would fight him for training expenses lol


    I almost think Hatton is in a stronger position than Pac. No huge money fights below 140 for Pac, none at 140 if it's not Hatton, and the 147 guys WILL beat him.

    Yeah you'd think so. Makes sense for both men.

    Pacman did exactly the same to Oscar, that fight even got 'canned' at one stage

    That said, Pacman got his way in that negotiation

    Going on his performance against a lackluster Witter I think that Hatton would have way to much for him, even a reasonably in shape Witter would beat him IMO.

    I was going on the criteria that he would be natural to the division; if Hatton moves up and fights someone at WW (Margo, Cotto etc.) he could get his head kicked off in short order; if he fights someone from LW (like Marquez) Hatton may just overpower him. I think Tiger Tim would give him a good fight at LWW.
