Floyd Mayweather vs Ricky Hatton:Great News Inside And It Looks Like The Fight Is On

Then why is Floyd featured in EVERY single Hatton interview?

Hatton had more than one opportunity to fight Floyd and turned them down.

 

Yes he will....Floyd can make so much more money with the GATE revenues in Eng than he could ever do in any State in the US. So he wants the fight in UK.

The gate revenue and the PPV numbers would give Floyd anther very large payday, which is all Floyd cares about.

 

The title of the thread is misleading, I was hoping there was some progress more than just the trash talk.

It's far from "on" at this point, I have a bad feeling about the negotiations. Probably b/c being a boxing fan for so long has you often feeling pessimistic.

Both sides will try to fight for every last dollar and advantage. I just hope they can come to terms on the fight.

 

EGO! When a person has all the money they can shake a stick at, then they get their "itch scratched" some other way....and normally that is with FAME, Name recognition or just being the center of attention. That's why Ricky came to the US....thats why Joe C wants to come to the US to finish out his career.

 

Americans dont' think that fighters are NOT good if they don't fight in the US.....they just feel they haven't been in with the very best the WORLD has to offer.

Since the US is the MECCA of boxing....Great fighters from ALL countries flock to the US to test their skills and prove not only to themselves but to the WORLD of boxing that they are as good as their own "backyard" fans feel they are.

Coming to America to box is a way to reach the highest plateau in a boxers career.

 

Never watched it. BUT...I did read in a couple of articles that he was going to come to the US for his next fight. Did anyone else hear that?

 

Maybe you should listen to your countrymen. Hatton almost got hard when he was talking about fighting at MSG.

 

Youre right. So many fighters worldwide dream of fighting at Wembley, the Millenium or the MEN long before they dream of fighting at the MGM Grand or Madison Square Garden.

You're delusional dog.

 

msg is madison square garden

 

i've always dreamed of fighting at Caesars palace

 

Having more champions in a nation doesn't automatically mean that's the MECCA. Thialand has MANY champions, so does Mexico but they are not the MECCA of boxing...the US is and that's fact.

Fighting in front of 60,000 Fans is great! No doubt, but again...that has nothing to do with finding the very best opposition. The best flock to the US from all parts of the globe which is why the US is the MECCA of boxing.

More quality fighters find their way to the US to train, get better, get famous and reach their highest financial goals. They can't do that anywhere else but the US right now....Things could change, but rome wasn't built in a night.

 

Sure they do....Wembly, Milleium and MEN are very large arenas but no one really cares about who has the best stadium.

 

Why ****in' not??? He's the P4P best fighter in the history of the sport. Location should bother him. If Hatton has been disrespectful of Joy Jr. like his advisor Ellerbe said (which is crock of **** compared to all of Floyds yappin') PBF should welcome the chance to beat hatton ass in front of his home crowd. Thats what I'd want if I was taking this fight "personally", like Floyd says he is.

 

Dude...I'm with you...I can't imagine the feeling of being in front of 60,000 people...let alone fighting in front of 60,000 crazy boxing fans. It would be nuts.

But I'd rather get a ENTRIE experince if I were to be fighting for a championship title. the MGM as you mentioned or Cesars Palace are awesome venue's with lots of "sizzle"....Vegas is a great boxing city, although they can't match the amount of fans they can take in that Wembly can.

 

I don't think that paper-tiger would fight Hatton anywhere
