Neither would budge in negotiations with each other, therefore the fight is OFF. Manny and Ricky surely feel confident that they can lure Floyd Mayweather back from retirement for a megu bucks fight. But who would be more appealing to Floyd for a return bout? Manny Pacquiao or Ricky Hatton.
you forgot the rest of the quote where floyd says "we couldnt go to the uk so we brought the uk here".
Floyd won't fight Ricky in the UK; that would be the stupidest thing he could do, especially after all the crying that Ricky's fans did after the fight saying that Joe Cortez didn't let Ricky fight his fight. Mayweather would get screwed if he made the trip across the pond.

true i had forgotten that until you ssaid, i still think if he is to come back then this might just entice him
floyd said after the first hatton fight that the only thing he still wanted to do was fight in england, so i think hatton - floyd II could happen

PBF will be in it for the money, Hatton brings in more money... so its gonna be Hatton.
Pointless fight really, he took already kayoed the guy. he gets nothing but cash for fighting hatton.
And I don't think the fans get anything out of a Hatton rematch.

I think if he wanted to fight Hatton again, that fight would have been made by now. He probably would have come back to fight him if Hatton beat Pac, but that fight aint happening. There is no reason to fight Ricky right now. Hatton hasn't done anything since his check hook, ring pad headbutt KTFO at the hands of Mayweather.
I agree that it probably would have happened already, but the money will always be there for the taking. I seriously think Pac has a good chance of beating Mayweather and i think he knows that too. I don't think the pac-pbf fight will happen.
PBF already KO'd Hatton in a fight that wasn't that good. A PBF-Pac fight has way more cred.
why would pbf fight hatton again? he already KTFO hatton and i dunno if he could improve his performance. plus hatton would have to give pbf a 70-30 purse split.
some of you forget that floyd retired and didnt rematch dlh because of the purse split right?
I think you guys are wrong, whilst a Pac fight is what everyone wants to see, it's also a harder fight for PBF, one he is in danger of losing. If he fights hatton again he argueably makes more money and gets an easy knockout. As he said himself, he's not in boxing to prove who's the best. Hatton is easy money and that's what Floyd likes.

A Hatton rematch at 140, in a 16ft ring, with 8oz gloves, and an unbiased ref, in front of Hatton's hometown crowd might be entertaining, but the outcome would still be the same.
A Pac fight would be a lot more entertaining, and Pac has a chance, albeit small. Easily Pac.
Now if Cotto could win the Marg rematch (assuming he gets by Shane,) and then get one more big win, like Williams. That's the fight I'd like to see.
I'm with you, Cotto vs Pacquiao all the way; but Cotto is destined to get smashed again later in the year.

definately Pac...unless PBF can make more money fighting Hatton. He already knocked hatton out...why fight him again unless the money is fantastic? Hopefully if the fight with Pac is made, Manny will realize that he is gonna have to give a little to get PBF. I dont care if PBF has been idle for a year or not, NO WAY he lets pac get a bigger piece of the pie. so i say, STFU and make the fight already.
I think Manny would be understandable with Floyd and be willing to give up a little if he can secure that fight. Floyd was P4P when he retired and he's still undefeated. A comeback fight would be huge dollars. Manny must just be frustrated in dealing with Golden Boy. He feels he got screwed in negotiations with Oscar; he whoops Oscars ass and now they are trying to get over on him in negotiations with Ricky. It's the principle of the matter that's at stake here. He feels he deserves more than Hatton and rightfully so. On the other hand, Mayweather KTFO of Hatton and has not yet lost a fight. I think he'd be willing to do 50-50 or even 45-55 in favor of Mayweather.
