Yep and that's quite right, he proved when he took the smaller purse and bull**** clauses from Oscar that he's willing to make sacrifices to become the best. Question is, will Hatton? Now Warrens not promoting him there's actually a chance this fight might happen, I can't see Hatton bitching out this time, he'd lose too much face if that happened.
I could see this fight being like Judah-Ward all over again Hatton would be chasing him all over the ring
He was P4P number 1 when the fight was made and could quite rightly have demanded a 50-50 split, not agreed to the ***** clause about the gloves etc etc etc, and didn't. Of course for some people the man can't do anything right and deserves no credit whatsoever, I suspect you fall into that category right?
Because the man he was fighting didn't deserve the bigger purse based on recent results, perhaps? :nut :nut :nut :nut :nut :nut :nut
I don't think he had a choice. Take the clauses or Oscar walks. Floyd is P4P the better fighter out of him and Hatton without doubt. - but he was P4P better than Oscar too. I think Hatton draws more fans to this fight though - live or on TV. Can you imagine how many people would show up if the fight was in the UK?? Having said that, I think 60-40 Floyds way is fair. Anything else and he doesn't really want the fight IMO.
Floyd's gonna win, but he's gonna have to work for it. He'll get cut and bruised, but he's gonna take a decision.
imo it doesn't matter, 140, a catch wieght or 147, ricky wieghs 149 on the night of the fight and floyd wieghs 152
hatton needs this fight more then floyd and will lose significant drawing power if he doesn't make it. This is the basis of the ass raping floyd's gonna put on him in the board room. The basis for the ass raping oscar put on floyd was: oscar was the big name, floyd had no mainstream fan base, no one was going to look down on oscar for not making the fight. and floyd needed it badly to legitamize himself. Whose the better fighter only matters for "in-ring" ass wippings
Hatton is too small . Gets beat to the punch. Swings at alot of thin air. Eats leather all nite. Done.
