Hatton offers Mayweather 5 million (UK POUNDS - not $) to come to england.

Freezing in November...............Shut up you big tart !!!!.........
Seriously it will be 50+ no problem at all..................If they made 90 000 tickets available they would ****ing sell them in my opinion...........As for not being able to match the Tszyu fight for atmosphere........Are you feeling OK....???...................This is the best P4P fighter in the world we are talking about here..........Although I really dislike him Floyd is arguably from a "boxing" prespective a true great..........Now a british fighter having a go at someone with those credentials will fill ANY arena you want to pick in the UK..........
As for the open air...............Shut the roof on the millenium stadium in Cardiff then.............problem solved........still getting 50,000 fans.........NOTHING.....I REPEAT NOTHING in the US can compare to what the UK can offer from a venue point of view.........& by that I mean filling it.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Logically speaking that's the way I see it but this is boxing and anything can happen, on paper Hatton gets picked apart like freeing a million caged Koala's on the last eucalyptus tree in Aussy land. But Hatton is the kinda fighter that seems to be determined enough to do it so let it happen.

 

Most are at least general sports fans and would understand that ths is the 'big one', to say Mayweather would sell just like any other opponent is plain silly.

 

Strike when you coming to NYC?

 

**** knows mate, I might try and get out early 2008 before I head off to Korea or Japan for a bit. Not totally sure.

 

I think this whole thread can be summed up by saying, no one knows ****. Who knows what the details are. If that's a starting point and Floyd is assured that he'll get the larger piece of the American PPV pie (I imagine he'll insist on this), maybe it can work out.

 

Good post:good

 

I think the gate receipts alone could be a high as £5million. Most probably around £4million. That would virtually pay Floyd's purse WITHOUT any tv money!!

 

As a fan, I take no offense. Sadly, the statement is true. However, I don't place any blame on Floyd. It's more a paradigm of the sweet science. Floyd rose to fame after the public had already turned it's head. Guys like Oscar, Roy Jones, Trinidad, even Gatti had their names up in lights when the world still gave a **** and therefore carry more clout in a time where most no longer care. It's a shame as there are a handful of fighters right now (Floyd and moreso Pacman & Cotto, among others) that could really put people in the seats. I don't believe that the talent pool is any worse (save the HW division) than it has been in the past but something must be done to garner attention for the sport.

 

Pbf needs Hatton in order to come somewhat remotely close to what he made in the DLH fight. Hatton needs PBF in order to have his biggest payday till this date. They should make the fight...

 

So Hatton is offering less than what Mayweather got for Baldimor ??I guess he really doesn't want to make this fight ..I don't see why Floyd would go to Wembly when its him that Hatton is chasing ..

 

I could care less who makes what, I'm a boxing fan and there is nothing like watching UK fans going bananas and chanting and singing and doing all kindas of **** during the fight. Contrast that with Vegas highrollers doing nothing more then yelling for a good punch or something. When I saw that Hatton/ Zoo fight and the way that crowd was, WoW! I was like this is what a crowd should be like. Nothing America can do can compare to that. Fuk for fuks sake American crowds don't even sing the national anthem, we watch somebody else do it, and we all claim to be partriotic? Fuk I think everyfight should be in the UK.

 

Its cheap for Mayweather, Hatton cannot talk money to him :-(
