    Whens the last time a fighter fought for nothing or in a 'winner takes all' fight??? It just doesn't happen, the same tactic has been used for years, its just a way to get in the papers.

    Witter would fight him for free because if he wins he can make more money afterwards. Plus he's just fed up of Hatton ducking him.

    Balls in Hattons court now. He can either call Juniors bluff and agree to fight him for nothing or do what he has been doing for years now.

    Witter can't make enough money after fighting Hatton for nothing to make it worth while. He's 34, if he loses he's ****ed and even if he wins he's still fought a fight for nothing, is closer to 35 and still hasn't cashed in on the biggest fight of his career.

    The "offer" was designed to keep him in the taboids, thats all.

    I honestly believe that Witter is genuine when he's saying he'd fight for nothing or I believe he would certainly take as low as 20% of the purse.

    He's chased Hatton for years and truely believes he'd knock him out.

    Yes I agree.

    Witter needs to come out after the fight and publicly state to the general public on British Primetime TV that he wants Hatton.

    The more the public demand this fight the more chance it will happen.

    I'm sure if it was a winner takes all AND retirement match, then Hatton would be up for that :yep

    I'd guess 20% of a purse for the Hatton fight is still a damn sight more than 100% of any other fight Witter is likey to be involved in.

    I hope Hatton fights Pacqiauo now after the horribly biased crap his Filipino fans come out with. Maybe that will show them how good Pac really Is but I doubt It.

    Ricky Hatton has always been **** scared of Junior Witter...he was tense and was shitting his phants on sports personality...on the BBC afew years back aswell.

    Junior Witter should just confront him in the public..sqaure up to him.
