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

it didn't harm Eubank much either. I don't think he really cares if he'd known by the Jethro's from Baton Rouge or the Brad's from Keokuck, Iowa. Ali fought out of the US loads of times, Foreman too in his first tenure as champ.The Thrilla in Manila just wouldn't have had the mystique if it been in Yankee Stadium. The thing about a neutral venue is that it helps if both can sell out and frankly, Mayweather couldn't. He'd only sell about nine tickets, so that's a non-strater. So America it'll have to be.

 

Were you under a rock the first two times Floyd tried to get Hatton in the ring?

 

that just means there will be more people crying after floyd ****s him up

 

Would he come by boat then?

 

I dont know about him, BUT I KNOW HATTON WAS UNDER CONTRACT WITH FRANK WARREN when those "offers" were made.That contract didnt expire until after Hatton fought Maussa on 11/25/05 and Floyd fought MITCHELL at 47 on 11/19/2005.Why the hell are Floyd fans STILL clinging to that smokescreen?? Its PATHETIC Why is it OK for Floyd to rid himself of Bob Arum but not for Hatton to rid himself of Frank Warren??:-( :-( :-(

BTW, arent they talking about a fight RIGHT NOW?? Quit hanging on to past BULL**** and start hoping they COME REAL right now. 60/40 for PBF in Vegas and Hatton should sign :deal

 

Floyd has never tried to get Hatton in the ring. Hatton admitted on previous occasions that he wasn't ready for someone as good as Mayweather. But never mind. The important point is that almost uniquely for boxers Hatton is freshingly honest and Mayweather should have taken these remarks as a huge compliment. Unlike Roy Jones, Hopkins and Taylor, Ricky didn't make various 'excuses' such as pricing himself out of a fight, insisting on home advantage, or jumping two weight divisions to avoid a fight he didn't fancy.

 

Hatton will have to come to Vegas. Floyd's pompous primadonna ass isnt going overseas. Lets just hope they give Hatton a fair $$$$$ offer and the FIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPENS:good

 

**** Vegas MSG! MSG! MSG!

 

I don't know about that. Floyd will most likely feel more comfortable in Vegas where he lives and has fought on and off for a long time (and the last 3 fights). Floyd has said he'd go to England, and other times he says he wouldn't go and that Tszyu lost his title in a wrestling match. I don't think he'd go to Manchester.

I'm not really sure about the money either, what makes more. Wembley would have WAY more people than Vegas at the fight itself, but at what prices, and what about the site fee? Casinos in Vegas can afford extremely expensive site fees because they make so much money from the gamblers and high-rollers. The live gate is only part of the money the casino makes on a big fight. If a lot of English fans come over to Vegas to support Hatton and watch the fight, you can bet the casino will make a lot of money from the out-of-towners gambling as well.

I was worried a couple years ago that this would be another RJJ-Darius situation, but to his credit, Hatton is willing to travel and fight in the states. Now it's just a matter of negotiations and ego and greed not getting in the way.

 

It's on! It's on!

 

You brits are amazing.. just a couple years ago you were dogging on Joe Calzaghe, talking **** about him, slappy and all that.. English fans didn't like him.

He beats Lacy, and you're all on the bandwagon.. don't pretend like it ain't true.

 

Get your facts straight *******.

“We turned down two offers to face Mayweather last year,” Hatton said.

owned....

 

i really hpe this gets made but to be honest i doubt it will.

 

“We turned down two offers to face Mayweather last year,” Hatton said. “I think the offers would be more realistic now. But we would like Richard to have two or so fights in America before we look at Mayweather.”
