    Some boxers getting better management/ promotion than others has been going on for years. Its not always fair but thats the way it is, taking money off the likes of Ricky Hatton and Amir Khan wouldn't put it in the pocket of other boxers. For a variety of reasons some boxers are popular, some arn't. Thats boxing. Hattons support hasn't just come overnight, he's built it, I've seen him on undercards when most people were still at the bar.

    Good for you. No point trying to talk me round about this mate I've had enough of him. I want him to take his beating from Witter like a man & be exposed. The Hatton camp have been waiting for Junior to get old or lose. Watch Hatton cheer for Bradley.

    Hatton definitely wants to fight Witter. Just not now. Maybe if Witter gets beaten or looks vulnerable he'll fight him soon, otherwise he'll just wait until Witter gets old. I think there's a problem with Hatton's reasoning. I get the feeling Hatton will "get old" much faster than Witter.

    Thats a good point, Witter is older at 34 but Hattons style doesn't suit being much past 30/31.

    Did you hear about the press conference the other day?

    The press spent 30 minutes asking about Lazcano/Mayweather fight/Mayweather rematch....

    It took half an hour before somebody said 'I might as well mention the white elephant, Junior Witter'

    The press room groaned and everybody moved on.

    NOBODY OUTSIDE OF FORUMS CARES ABOUT THE FIGHT, GET USED TO IT.

    So the press were a bunch of ****s then? :roll:

    Nobody here gives a **** about some BS press conference were a bunch of tossers who dont know a jab from an uppercut groan when Junior Witters name is mentioned.

    Any boxing fan fan worth a toss is desperate to see this fight.

    Anyone who groans does'nt know what day it is.

    PS

    I even read a letter form someone in The Sun moaning about Hatton not fightign Witter the other day.

    You know that little section were people write up and moan about random ****? Well it was in that section. :lol:

    The Guardian, The Sun, The Telegraph, The Times all accuse Hatton of ducking Witter.

    and rightly so, this fight should have happened years ago, but Ricky said wait till they've got world titles and they can stage it at the city of manchester stadium.

    Well Ricky, were waiting

    I wouldn't read too much of what is in the Sun newspaper, Frank Warren writes half of it!

    If those guys are fighters why don't they just fight and leave all this B/S for others? I don't see any reason for Hatton as a fighter not to take Witter fight. If was not wanting to give Witter a pay day, that's the problem fighting him if the guy agrees to do it for free? If this offer doesn't generate total purse big enough why doesn't he make a "winner takes it all" offer back to Witter?

    And how did he get Mayweather to agree giving him beating he wanted so bad? By bashing about it like hell. "In these four rounds there was more action than in Mayweather's all fights together" or how was it exactly. And in the ring Hatton didn't have a chance for one second against Mayweather. And it looks he even wants to be beaten again!

    If he's fine with taking beating from Mayweather why not from Witter? It's time for him to agree with the fight or start collecting the eggs he's laying. Hatton is chickening with Witter!

    Will people stop showing their ignorance of boxing and mentioning a 'winner takes all' fight. Please?

    Opinions about "winner takes it all" -deal doesn't have anything to do with knowing or not knowing about boxing. It's business. If it never happened before one day I'm sure it will.
