Hatton made $40 million and people dont think there will be a rematch....

Please post the source of these "excuses" Ricky's making.

 

Nope , Floyd left no guess work as who was the best , and I doubt the british fan are going to be excited about there man being beat again , even more soundly the second time around.

No one going to buy into the idea that the ending will be any different.

 

And in this case, 20 E is equal to $10 million US.

 

1 British Pound Sterling = 2 US Dollars

1 British Pound Sterling = 1.4~ Euro (as of Dec 12 2007 IMF)

1 US Dollar = 0.7~ Euro

 

oh, and...

1 Euro = 1.47 US Dollars.

 

Sir, no disrespect but you are mistaken. Very few people actually care as much as you think about Hatton getting beaten. Personally, I haven't spoken to one single person over here who has less respect for Rick since he was beaten. If anything, he has only gained more respect for having the balls to put everything on the line and giving it his best shot. I think people would watch a rematch with as much , if not more, enthusiasm as the first fight between these two great warriors.

Q: How many fighters would trade the possibility of a defeat for $40,000,000?

Boxing is a massive business, at the end of the day.

As for "even more soundly the second time around" -- there are a number of things that can change the outcome; a fair referee, the mental state of a fighter, the ring size, and a hundred other variables that I don't even need to list. Sure, the likleyhood of Floyd winning again is very high, but you cannot say for sure that the outcome of a rematch would mean Hatton gets beaten even more convincingly.

 

Ok.......WOW!!! That means that Ricky made as much in this fight as did ODH when he fought Floyd!! I would hate to know what Floyd made!! I could understand a lot more money being involved with this fight because of 2 large countries paying PPV for it, but damn they made a lot of money!! Thank you for educating me, as that was the only reason I asked. :good

 

Exactly what I'm saying too.

 

Who said anything about less respect, I have loads of respect for Ricky but that does not change the fact that he was completely

two out of the three might warrant a rematch but 3 out of 3 says no way in hell a rematch happens .


who going to pay for a fight , when know the result are going to be the same ??

 

again who said anything about hatton fans abandoning him ? Im pretty sure he gain some fan here in the US hell he gained one in me but You'd have to be half crazy to pay for the same fight, knowing the results will be the same .

 

If I misunderstood your other post, it's probably because you didn't word it as well as you coulld have. You seemed to imply that the people of England cannot stand to see their man lose. If so, that would be incorrect.

If you don't mind me saying, though, you're getting ahead of yourself a little bit by claiming it's a guaranteed win for Floyd. There is no guarantee at all. I hope you are not seeing this from the narrow-minded viewpoint of a Floyd Mayweather fanatic with blinkers on. Please try to be unbiased, and understand that one punch can change the outcome of ANY fight between ANY two fighters.

 

Again, I'll highlight your choice of the word "knowing".

Unless you are psychic, have a crystal ball, and can see into the future, you should refrain from using that word.

You may think a rematch is a crazy idea, but it makes sense business-wise and entertainment-wise.

 

The reason this fight was so huge is because even though Mayweather was the favourite there was this big unknown how their styles would clash, how Mayweather would deal with the pressure, will Hatton be able to outwork him ect, now all the questions have been answered so no need for rematch. It was not controversial, not disputable, absolutely no reason for the rematch. If Floyd loses a fight then it still doesnt make sense. Unless of course if Hatton fights Cotto, DeLaHoya, Mosley and knocks them all out impressivly then I could see it

 

to be honest, when i first thought about it after the result, my instinct said rematch. but now i think about it - why not a de la hoya/hatton fight - (they've all proved themselves pretty much, none are likely to fight much longer - get the money in is the most sensible solution - hatton has nothing more to prove at 140, he is the best in the division full stop!). hatton v de la hoya - the two recent victims of mayweather in wembley would be massive - possibly the biggest fight so far. and then the winner in a rematch against floyd at wembley again or have the first at the millennium, the "final" at wembley would generate more money than we could comprehend - we (the british) are finally seeing that boxing is a good sport for us - professionals and amateurs, amir khans exploits are not going unnoticed, and boxing has been on the back page far more than other sports (save football (soccer for the americans ) in recent weeks/months. calzaghe is developing an exceptional following here, because everyone loves to watch him fight. hatton will always have his following, and de la hoya is well known in the uk, so a match at millennium/wembley would draw major interest - especially as two of mayweathers recent victims - and two of his most toughest (in his words) get it on to warrant a rematch with the p4p #1.
