Hatton made $40 million and people dont think there will be a rematch....

He said he would have liked to, there's a difference...you don't understand PPV numbers for this fight may be great in the UK (out of seeking revenge)..in the USA nobody see a need for it (and neither do I)...they want a Mayweather v Cotto fight which could potentially break the Mayweatehr DLH figures...plus they don't give a hoot if a Mayweather Cotto fight doesn't make much money in the UK (neither do they expect it):deal...UK isnät the only market that tunes into boxing outside of Notth America (e.g. China is a new and potentially lucrative market).

 

Source?

 

I can't see that link at work.

 

Ok I gotcha. That's crazy. I thought only Oscar did numbers like that. How much did Floyd make?

 

How much money did Money Mayweather made? Including PPV.

 

Id much rather PBF fight Cotto than Hatton again but I can see the rematch happening especially when money mayweather sees how many dollars it will bring in.

Thats the link.

Says apparently that the US buyrate was expected to reach 1.5 million, in the UK 900,000 ppv's sold, shattering the previous record of Lewis v Tyson.

Says the fight generated about £70 ($145m) Million total, and because Hatton negotiated that he get a cut of every ppv sold in the UK above 350,000 he will be in line to make around £20 Million ($42m) from the fight, making him one of the highest paid boxers ever.

 

Damn that's a great payday for Hatton. Makes him getting beat that much easier to take.

 

If a rematch were to happen what would the 30 minute round the clock HBO promos of the fight be named?

Catch the rematch of a mismatch?

 

The fight should not Happen in a million years. Imo the worst thing that could happen when you are fighting someone like Floyd is for him t know he can hurt you.

 

Jesus. Ricky got well payed for that. How the hell much did Floyd make?

 

probably similar, but I dont think he'll have made more, as Hatton got a share of all the UK PPV buys over 350k, he also had had exclusive TV rights, which I dont know how that works, but he was paid over £20... wonder what that works out at an hourly rate?

 

The interest in the fight was largely generated through anticipation of the unknown. Now that the fight has happened, the same level of anticiaption will not be there. We all saw Hatton give his best effort, and we all saw Mayweather handle him easily. So what is there left to see? Nothing new, and consequently less probable interest from the fans. A promoter would be foolish to stage a rematch.

 

Excellent post!

 

Floyd would win so it would be pointless, but if hatton regains the light welterweight crown with a few good wins and they wait 18 months let people forget about the gulf in class its a lot of money to be made.
