    Well they did 850k in the USA and 1.4Mil in the UK

    And Hatton took a great chunk of that 1.4mil buys home with him.

    Even though Hatton is the 140 "king" he was still beaten by Mayweather when the weight didn't matter. Although under the 147lb name, they would of weighed the exact same had they fought at 140.

    no it won't, pacs a different type of fighter to pbf, if pac beat pbf (which he wouldn't) it doesn't mean pac would beat hatton.

    so why didn't mayweather fight him at 140 then rather than insist on 147?

    he was just coming off a loss, however you list three fights including oscar and he gets record figures whoever he fights. hatton fought mayweather and did 850k in the US and i don't know the correct figure (maybe someone does) but did maybe 1-1.5 million in the UK. that far exceeds anything pac has done as far as $ goes.

    but if pbf wanted to be known as the man at 140 he should have agreed to fight at 140, he didn't.

    Who knew if floyd wanted that.

    Im merely saying, if they would of fought at 140 it wouldn't of mattered.

    Hatton didn't pack on an extra weight like he did with Collazo for the Mayweather fight.

    Hatton weighed against Mayweather what he weighs on fight night as a Jr WW.

    And Mayweather weighed 147-149. And if they were to weigh in at 140. Nothing would of changed.


    Im guessing the reason it didn't happen at 140 would be because, Hatton would be the champ, he'd be able to dictate things seeing as Mayweather is going after his titles etc etc.

    The fact is, weight was not an issue and they weighed on fight night what they weigh when they fought at 140.

    Great numbers there. Pac's negotiating team could take cue. And Hatton should recognize that Pac's got the momentum going after demolishing the Golden one. 55-45 Pac.

    For what it's worth 850K in PPV in the US for the Mayweather/Hatton Fight was largely due to the popularity of Floyd from his "W" over DLH. Hatton has a great fan base in the UK but for the US market he isn't really that well known...at least not by the casual fans which make up the majority of those PPV #'s. There really is no reason that PAC should NOT get the lions share.

    PBF offered hatton a fight back when both were at 140 but Hatton turned him down and said he wasn't ready. This has been well documented on this site.
