Ellerbe: "Hatton, Want Floyd? Sign The Contract!"

[bdevils]

but ask yourself this.... is mayweather really a TOP DRAW??? is he?? i aint hating on dude, but no one outside of dela hoya, maybe trinidad if he comes back, tyson back in the day are the top draws, mayweather is not, he is at best a draw only when he has a good fighter in the ring with him, he has only been on PPV for about 2 years now, he is not a top draw fighter, he does not generate money, he does not fill out arenas, and he does not have a loyal fan base like a morales, pacquiao, barrera, dela hoya, etc...

so why should he be demand an OUTRAGEOUS amount of money to fight another person like hatton?? cotto is undefeated, hatton is undefeated, both fighters have won belts, both fighters have a loyal following, so why cant they reveive the same terms as mayweather?? why cant they receive perhaps just a smaller amount to what mayweather is making?? why does mayweather think he is in a league of his own when it comes to getting paid when he clearly is not?? i aint hating on dude, im just saying it how it is.

If this is true why did FLoyd-Oscar do better than Tito-Oscar? Puerto Rican vs. Mexican while both being undefeated and Floyd-Oscar did better. I would say he has some drawing power.

No wonder there were so many Floyd/Hatton threads. I dont take any of this seriously yet though. And if Floyd comes back to fight Hatton instead of Mosley he is ducking him.

See this is the problem right here with this site. So if Floyd comes back to fight Mosley don't you think it will be said that he ducked Hatton?

Hatton talked a lot of isht, he's beggin for the chance to fight Mayweather. Looks like his isht talking earned him a potential shot so he needs to take it. Regardless of how much money he gets or what weight they fight at he needs to take the fight or all that isht he was talking was just hot air.

come on lets be real here, dela hoya bought in most of the 2.1 million, if you are disagreeing with that then there is no point having a debate with you, there was a lot more advertising and promotion regarding this fight on a worldwide level than tito v oscar, even DLH mentioned that he felt his fight with tito could have broken the 2 million barrier if it had the promotion his fight with mayweather had. yes mayweather has some drawing power, im not denying this, the fact though is that he probably needs another top fighter in the ring with him to sell a fight, which i already mentioned in my previous post. lets see if mayweather can fight an average figher on PPV and draw in nearly 1 million PPV buys like DLH did when he fought mayorga. mayweather cannot do this, when he fought gatti on PPV it was mostly gatti fans that bought the fight, when he fought judah, they done about 325k buys, in line with other PPV fighters like a barrera, morales, pacman, moseley, vargas. all im saying is mayweather is not a TOP draw like he perceives he is, i like the guy and i want him to fight fighters like cotto, moseley, margorito and hatton, but until he realizes he is just like every other main fighter when it comes to PPV,we will not see these fights happen and its because of mayweather because of the fact that he is demandin outrageous money

Ideally, we'll get the fight at 140 for the title of best 140 lber of this decade. If not, we'll still get a great fight and a huge PPV event.

If Hatton really has succeeded in goading PBF intoa fight, then kudos to both him and Mayweather for putting on a fight that alot of people will pay to see, it's been 3 years since this debate started, let's see it unfold in the ring.

Hatton should get in there first before Cotto and Moseley

[Double]

They should not fight at 140, 147 is the premier division in boxing right now, a fight at 147 just sets up bigger fights at the weight down the road.

[Smashing]

yes and at 147...

You talking about demanding outrageous money, what about Hatton asking for 13 mill. last time he was offered a fight with FLoyd? You can't compare what Floyd and Oscar generates as far as ppv's go noone has that kind of draw power. Don't think Floyd can't put some butt's in the seats because just the Oscar fight alone put his name out there more than it was and compared to some other fighters who fought the same opponent I believe Floyd did better numbers then they did.

It doesn't make any difference what weight they fight at, Hatton will have to go up to Welter now as the big fights are up there, if the money was right I'm sure Mayweather would drop to 140 but as they have both fought in both divisions it make no odds.

It would be about the fighters not the weight or the titles.
