Ricky Hatton will announce on Monday that he has signed with Pat Brogan for £7million for three IBF title defences to keep him sharp followed by a showdown with Floyd Mayweather before hanging his gloves up and calling it a day next year.
Good luck in getting to Mayweather, but I don't think he'd get past the 2nd round though.
2nd fight??
I think Cotto's a good fighter, he's dangerous but his defence is very poor being pushed back.
Fights in order -
Maussa
Cotto
Witter
Mayweather
that would be OK for me, but i doubt thats the plan.

I dont want fucking Witter. Its like Cotto (world class), Mayweather (world class), Witter (Mexican road sweeper as Benn would say) :D.
I dont want the Witter fight but it needs to be done, he's like an annoying itch that needs to be scratched. He doesnt deserve Hattons time but i'm betting it would make Hatton feel a whole lot better by knocking that chump out.
I just wish Witter would man up and face someone decent before Hatton faces him.
Hatton is going to retire and then try to make a comeback in the future and get KTFO.
Sad.

Hatton and his team are sluts for making excuses for fighting Mayweather..First it is we need another year, and now I know 3 more fights...What a cock, Hatton is a shame to his thrown. The best should get it on, Hatton will lose his steam if he doesnt come to the U.S. and make a big fight...Outside of Mayweather the only excusable fight is against Cotto....
Who is Pat Brogan, anyway? :)
I know, and where the hell is coming up with the 7mil from, he must have good backing if he can guarantee £7mil for a 3 fight deal.
All i know is he's a promoter from Crewe, Cheshire.

After reading what JuyJuy had wrote I was a little disappointed because I didn't want to wait for three more fights to see Mayweather v Hatton, but then began thinking what three fights I would make and came up with what you got Evil, except I had Witter before Cotto, to give Cotto some more time to be better prepared for Hatton (he's a little green). Then I scrowd down and you had all done it for me.I 'd be happy with that list.
yes i think he'd wear him down and stop him late prob 9 or 10, but going off his last performance in about 3 :D
I agree with the cotto fight i think it'd be bigger in the US, but PBF would be fuckin huge over here i think they could easy do 50, 60 000.
Witter would be a big fight overhere too now his is more established that would do 20,000, i think alot of people would turn up just to see witter get beat
I think the Witter fight could do 40,000 if he gets a decent win under his belt, shame he had to turn the Cotto fight down, thats one where Witter had a chance. I'd like to see Witter fight someone like Freitas or Casamayor, they would be good fights and i wouldnt be suprised if Witter lost both.
Might be nice to see him fight Cotto in San Juan.
That would be good, but Hatton wants to top the bill at MSG and Vegas before he retires.
Personally i think he needs more than 4 fights before he retires, thats if he plans on facing guys like Maussa.
I think Hatton would love the hate on Cotto's own turf, just as long as they stop guns from getting into the crowd :D

that'd be ok for me too, maybe witter before cotto cos i thinks he'd have his hands full with him, but then a big name in the us and a good win over cotto would shut the haters up a bit before he takes out junior
I think you could fight Cotto in the US for Hattons dream, i dont think it would draw huge crowds in the UK, probably just the normal MEN size crowd.
But they would be stupid not put Hatton vs Mayweather on in the UK, that would really sell out a huge stadium.
All the fights would make more money in the UK but i'd like to see him in the US again, only this time topping the bill.
BTW, do you think Hatton would beat Witter??

that sounds probable, if hes fighting maussa then his 2nd defence needs to be a more respected name i know the maussa fight is only happening cos hes the wba title holder and its another belt but hopefully he'll get another two or three big names on his record

For our American friends, £7,000,000 is roughly $12,870,200.
Not bad for a 3 fight deal but i dont wanna see Hatton fight Mayweather after 3 other fights, that fight should happen in the next couple of match ups. :frown:
