If a contract HAS been offered, you can bet your arse it's unrealistic. Hatton is the draw here. The only acceptable offer is a 60/40 purse cut in favour of Mayweather. Anything less for Hatton and i wouldn't blame him for turning it down.
I believe, if this fight happened it would be a classic. Hatton won't stand there like Arturo Gatti, he'll pressure Mayweather and hurt him to the body like De La Hoya couldn't. Floyd won't run, he'll trade because he knows that he isn't massively disadvantaged physically. Hatton will FORCE Floyd to fight.
I saw gaps and weaknesses in Floyd's defence against Oscar... that is the body. Hatton has the technique when he throws the hooks to body to really hurt him. He will take whatever punches Mayweather can dish out. I honestly believe Hatton can outpoint Mayweather, mainly due to his agression. If Hatton gets cut, Mayweather will exploit it. But with i've seen of PBF in his last three fights. He relies on fighters to lose steam. Judah, De La Hoya, Baldomir. Hatton will not lose steam. Mentally, come the 9th or 10th round, Hatton will still be coming on strong and Mayweather will be thinking 'what have i got myself into here? is this guy human?'. His heart will be broken, Hatton will take him.
That's the way i see it going, but it really is a 50/50 fight.
