british fans would support hatton in any fight. malignaggi, not as big as a pac fight, but it would still do great numbers in manchester stadium just because it is ricky hatton. but it makes sense that hatton could drop malignaggi just to have a fight with pac if arum really wants to pit pac with hatton this november. one thing that would prevent this is if hatton gets criticized heavily for taking on someone coming from the lower weights like pac.
Very true about the Brits. Don't think I'm form England, I'm from Vegas and black. But anyway a Pac and Hatton fight could fill any stadium in the world. They are both HBO fighters and that company and Ross Greenburg is about their money. Just imagine the atmosphere of the fight. Hatton will get critize but **** it I'm about my money. Plus it will be good nmae on his resume fro mthe few great fighters he has
again, i didn't say pac will fight guzman... i just said that he still has a good chance against him @135 since both of them are moving up in weight. simple as that. but i do agree that the pac-hatton fight would most probably happen due to the BIG money involved. but if pac performs badly against diaz but still manages to win, he certainly has no business fighting hatton. if this fight still happens, then all this fight will be is a cash-out and retirement money for pac. but like you said, boxing is also a business.
Thank you my man, I get what you are saying and you see what I'm saying. But I just feel like it will happen no matter what, because the money is still good. Even if Pac lost to Diaz I would stil like to see Hatton Vs Pac
i have a feeling that arum will cash-out pac against hatton. the numbers simply are overwhelming to imagine. i prefer casa or campbell for pac if he wins against diaz but i think this would be the path arum wants. poor pac!!! $$$ chichiing-chichiing
Well he was with Golden Boy and got out of that one. So Pac is the stupid one on that one. Cant fill sorry for him, but Arum wont cash out he isnt stupid and Hoya isn't either. This fight will happen. Because I really think that both don't want to stay in to much longer anyway
i would not say if pac dissing-out GBP is a stupid move or what but so far, he got all the fights with GBP fighters like barrera and marquez. what i'm saying about bob arum "cashing-out" is he knows that this is a fight where pac is an extreme underdog and many would predict a hatton demolition of pac. now because of this circumstance, he would accept pac losing and even a beating that would affect pac's future bouts if he and pac would get huge amounts of money. i agree on your point that both fighters have only few good fights remaining in them and are on the way out sooner than most are expecting.
Pac will beat Hatton then will go back to 135 and will unify the division. There's no other Big name at 140 other than Hatton. The Hatton fight is for Pac to make the Crossover to the Mainstream audience. Imagine the PPV # for Pac-Hatton?? It will hit more than a Million for sure with the right 24/7 show. Then after that Pac's PPV # will dramatically increase with fight at 135 with Campbell, Katsidis, J Diaz, Khan, all English speaking opponents, will be reaPING REWARDS.
I hear u, but I just cant see a fight like this going down the drain. If I was Pac I'll take the risk becuase for one I no I hit hard and Hatton was wobble alot, but his oppenent didn't have hat killer instinct.AND TWO i HAVE THE SPEED. But I still think Hatton takes it by tko
Again youre right, besides the outcome but honestly we don't will never find out till it happens. It does have he potential to hit 1,000,000 :shock:
Even if Pac will lose, as long as he gives a Great fight, this exposure will benefit his PPV #s in his next fights at 135.
He will fight that Bruce Lee looking mutha****a, in the biggest fight for a fight under 147. To much money Hatton knows he is (stronger maybe). ANd has the speed
ok pacD, i understand well your sentiments and opinions. but lets get it straight, what do you think is pac's limitation? what is the highest weight he could climb and beat a champ of that weight. at what age do you think pac can fight at this pound-for-pound level and how many years or good fights pac has left? i'm just curious because my opinion is pac is now on the slide and he could be just be 2~3 good fights left. but that's just me. i'm, always underrating pac since his sasakul days.
I think Pac, Hatton and Floyd are three fighters who want to o many things outside the sport of boxing. So would be suprised to see them cashout soon
