    Manny vs PBF would be a mega event for the sport.

    Just not much substance behind Pacman/Hatton but it probably would be more entertaining. So you beat Hatton? Big deal. What about Floyd Mayweather?

    hatton vs manny would be a mega fight too. it depends on what you call bigger. if you're talking money manny vs hatton would probably make as much if not more with uk ppv sales taken into account.

    anyway until mayweather says different he's retired.

    The Hatton-Pac fight would be gigantic and would also be for a 140 belt that Pac wants (he would then join ODLH as the only fighters in history to have won belts in 6 weight classes). I think this, along with Hatton's drawing power, is the main reason the bout will be made.

    In terms of pure boxing significance, PBF-Pac is definitely a more important fight, IMO.

    I think both matches will end up getting made, with Pac first taking on Hatton.

    He's RETIRED.

    Just joking.

    I'd like to see Pac fight Hatton first, then maybe Mayweather or JMM 3. I think as an event Hatton brings more to the table as he has a huge fanbase. I have no doubt that Hatton brings more to the table. As many others have said a fight in Wembley would be huge. He brought more fans than Mayweather in Vegas and that's Mayweather's house.

    I hate to say it, but the American fanbase has been crap. It's not like the 80's where a big fight generated big buzz.

    Yeah, legacy wise Mayweather, but he also hasn't cemented himself against JMM.

    would pbf need a tune up first, if the fight was made in the summer that would be 18 months of inactivity, and a ready made excuse if he lost. i think it should be hatton vs manny and pbf in a tuneup, then pbf fight manny or hatton if he wins.
