    Pac vs. Mayweather, Hatton vs. Cotto would be great.

    He's came off as very greedy man...I'm not fan of Hattons, but he really did what he could to make this fight happen.

    It's not as though they were'nt going to earn alot and Hatton even agreed to take less than 50-50...this would've been a great fight and I'm very disappointed.

    Nonetheless, there are very good fights to be made, hey maybe if a Hatton - Mayweather fight does happen, it will only add to the signficance and magnitude of a Pacquiao fight for the winner...

    Hatton-Cotto is suicide for Hatton.

    Very often, the biggest stars are the biggest fools when it comes to match-making and business sense.

    I'll cite Bernard (went under-rated most of his career due to promoting himself and not making the right matches. Greed played some role too), Floyd (best boxer of this century but a near complete idiot when it comes to $$$$) and now Pac (Pulls the plug on the most lucrative winnable fight that's out there for him).

    I was looking forward to this fight as it was almost a 50-50 with two distinct styles.

    I'm not a Hatton fan and I am a Pac fan, but most of the blame must go to Pac for this.


    On the other hand, it might be further posturing.

    Pac-Oscar was off at least a couple of times.
