    I guess this fight will be the Ricky Hatton retirement party.

    Easy money for Floyd. Hatton is a nice tune up where he can earn some easy P and then on to beat Pac in a big money spinner in the summer. Id rather see Pac humiliate Hatton though..

    I can't believe any of you are taking this seriously

    **** poor judgement IMO

    The Hatton camp are just flexing their muscles in the Pacquaio negotiation

    Wouldn't surprise me if the Mayweather camp are putting the feelers out to get Arum to make THEM an offer.

    Arum would be pretty pissed to see a Hatton vs Floyd rematch leaving Manny out in the cold.

    Ray Hatton doesn't sound too interested in the fight.

    They know Pac is winnable, whereas this fight isn't.

    Pac v Hatton is possibly the bigger fight for Hatton at the moment, and one that he could possibly win. I'm not sure, but I should imagine Pac/Hatton would make more £'s/$'s then Floyd/Hatton 2.

    If Hatton beats Pac I'd like to see him get a chance at another go at Floyd at a lower weight, at some point, even if his chances of winning are next to none. Floyd is a stylistic nightmare for Hatton.

    Hatton would most likely get a 50-50 split in a Pac fight, he wouldn't against Floyd, because all the 'aces' are in his corner.

    Pac got 35% against Oscar I seem to recall

    Now that's a BIG chunk against Oscar, so maybe Hatton would get the thin end of the wedge against Pacquiao?

    That said I believe Hatton took the UK PPV receipts for the Floyd fight which was obviously a ridiculous amount of money, so it depends how it's carved up, it's apparently not always as simple as x% / y%

    Knowing how money mad Mayweather is, I am surprised one of his hundreds of thousands of advisors didn't point out that the PPV receipts in the UK would be so much.............

    Do you honestly believe that PBF along with Hatton did not share some of the UK PPV revenues.

    Correct, everyone needs to calm down and think about whats happening here. Theres 3 fighters and only two of them can fight each other next. Pac wil play Mayweather off against Hatton and Hatton will do the same to Pac. Ditto with mayweather. Lets not get our knickers in a twist over this just yet....;)
