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

Ok Fair enough. I hadn't realised that, although that wasn't the point I was making. The point I was making is that Hatton was honest enough to admit he wasn't ready for Mayweather, rather than making the usual excuses we have seen over the years from Jones,Hopkins, and most recently, Taylor. Plus hundreds of other boxers

 

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

now whos floyd gayrunner

 

no floyd mayweather still runs.

 

mayweather does not have to agree to hatton's terms.. what the **** are you smoking?

 

but he dont duck hatton

 

Fair enough, but I'm sick and tired of seeing people repeat the line about Mayweather being responsible for the Hatton fight not happening when they were both at 140 or even going so far as to claim that Floyd was/is afraid of fighting Ricky. The fact is that Mayweather tried to make the fight and team Hatton said they weren't ready, so he moved up to face Judah. I'm also sick of people implying that Floyd is going torpedo this fight before it gets about the gate with "outrageous demands" because of his ego. Seven or eight months ago, everyone said he would ruin negotiations with DLH because of his ego, yet the guy ended up signing a contract for the first valid offer he received w/o even thinking about it.

Bottom line, there's big money to be made here and if both fighters are on board this time, the fight’s going to get done.

 

60/40 and let the WORLD FIND OUT!! Stop living in BS offer past. They made those offers during the Warren era and Hatton's had 3 fights since. They are discussing it right now and ALL IT SHOULD TAKE IS A FAIR $$$$$OFFER. 60/40, in Vegas and the world has a meaningful fight that should happen

 

damn.... that is alot of fights.

 

Well I've never said that Floyd was responsible for this fight not happening to date. What I AM saying is that Ricky wants his next fight to be in the UK. So if Mayweather wants to be his next opponent, will he come to Britain?

 

Ant going to happen Floyd is in the drivers seat not Hatton and if Hattons want the fight it going to be in Vagaus ,,Floyd knows dame well that in Manchester the ref would let Hatton hug him into a UD.
Im pretty sure Floyd not down for Hugging so fight would have to be in the U.S

 

"Running" is legal. Holding and hitting and all the wrestling is not.

The "neutral" territory won't work because you have to fight where the fans will be. That's either the U.S. (most likely Vegas) or England.

I don't think Mayweather will want to go to England. And despite the fact that a whole lot more fans will show up for the fight in Manchester than Vegas, I don't know if it actually can actually outbid a Vegas casino for the site fee. The live gate is only part of the money that a casino pulls in when there's a big fight.

 

Paper tiger? LOL...Hatton must be a "spit ball" then. All jokes aside Mayweather would only fight Hatton if the money was to his likeing and there is good money to be made in Hattons home.

The question of if Floyd can beat Hatton isn't even a question b/c Floyd would school hatton. And I LIKE Hatton, but the writting is on the wall and Hatton can't beat Pretty boy on any day, In hatton's back yard or in Haton's own kitchen. But it would still be a fun thing to watch.

 

Very good point! I think Hatton wants this fight NOW. I'm not sure if he really believe he can win, but I think he feels he is on a high right now.

I still think that fighting in Hattons back yard offers more potential to make more money but probably not as much as I thought. Either way I'd like to see this fight. I think Floyd would win pretty easily. Fighting in Manchester could be a dangerous move so Floyd proably is thinking about that heavily.

 

This is a critical point. The casinos draw indirect revenues surrounding big fights that enable them to pay very high prices and not really give a **** about the gate. I went to Vegas for Pac/Morales II, and upon arrival a few days in advance, the odds were roughly equal. By Saturday morning, Pac was a big favorite because of all the Filipino money flowing in.

Now just imagine what all the drunk ass (I'm not judging) Brits will do when they see Mayweather installed as a substantial favorite. They'll bet on the fight, hit the tables, restaurants and clubs. Vegas has so many ways to separate you from your money, a traditional stadium venue would have a great deal of difficulty competing.

And let's not forget that HBO PPV would strongly prefer that the fight happen in the United States. HBO is the primary reason Calzaghe/Kessler stands as close to happening as it does, and that involves two non-Americans who haven't spent much time on the network.

 

Dude, have you ever heard of a site fee? That's why most of the big US fights are held in those small venues in Vegas and Atlantic City instead of stadiums in other towns. 90,000 English fans would certainly make of an impressive sight, but a site fee from a major casino + U.S. domestic PPV > the live gate for the event in a British stadium + U.K. PPV gross.
