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

[kerrminator]

"Floyd's team were far from impressed with his fourth round KO of Castillo"

How many times are we going to read this?

Are they ever impressed with anything?

H.G Wells time machine may not have been as much of a mythical story as originally intended. A group of leading scientists have eventually came up with the answer to time travel and as an experiment to test their device they came up with a unique idea.

They went back through time to the Jurassic era and entrapped a T-Rex and on their way back to the present they stopped off and picked up a prime Ali, a prime Tyson and an in form Bruce Lee. On their arrival back in the year 2007 they organized a fight with Lee, Prime Tyson, Prime Ali and the T-Rex but put them all in the same team against Manchester's Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton.

Round one was where it started and finished. Hatton went at the four of them like a man possesed and knocked them all out with one punch each.

Incidentally, Floyd's team were far from impressed

are you having a laugh, i nearly fell out of my chair laughin so hard readin that last comment, if thats the case how come other fights like moseley v vargas did 400,000 PPV buys, didnt tarver v hopkins do about the same number if more than PBF's PPV fights outside of his fight with DLH?? can mayweather even crack that number without DLH in the ring with him??? mayweather does not bring in the most money outside of DLH in boxing right now, your the one that needs to get real. mayweather is NOT a top draw figher, not many people are top draws in boxing nowadays anyway, there is no shame in that, but mayweater thinks he is, when he clearly is not. only DLH is a top draw in boxing.

Mosley -Vargas did do 400,000 fighting each other. Floyd fought baldomir and did like 350,000. Does Baldomir have the popularity of Mosley or Vargas. I think not. And Tarver Hopkins only did about 350,000. Does Baldomir have the popularity of Tarver or hopkins, I think not. All the Morales and pacman fights did about 330,000, does baldomir have the poplaurity of them, I think not. fact is Floyd is the 2nd current fighter who is a big draw. is there a big gap between him and Oscar, of course there is. But he has a gap between him and the other active fighters as well. Gatti- Mayweather(his 1st PPV) did 340,000. Mayweather-Judah did 400,000. mayweather-baldomir did about 350,000, the same amount as Tarver fighting Hopkins, the same amount as Mosley fighting Vargas. And about 20,000 more than Morales, Pacman, and Barrera fighting each other. So Amaru, he does only come 2nd to Oscar.

Can't wait for Hatton's response (or lack thereof)

If and when this happens, everyone must have a realistic expectation. Mayweather will get more money. Mayweather just beat DLH and no matter how some contest, he won. Mayweather just had a show on HBO that watched him talk trash and back it up in the ring, so many love to hate Mayweather right now. He announced a bogus retirement, but announced it the same and he has all of the leverage at this point. It is totally unfair to accuse Mayweather of being all about the money, when in Mayweather/DLH, he got the shorter ende of the stick not just financially, but regarding where and how they fought. (Ring size, gloves etc.)


This is just the way it is when you are in the top drawing position and no matter what anyone says, in the United States of America, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a known name. Many people watch him with the hopes that he will lose, because so many people love to hate him. Floyd will be the top draw. This is the US, not the UK and it's his home turf. I do not believe for one minute that Mayweather lacks drawing power. That is just not the case. Sure, DLH was the more than likely the reason it hit 2.1, but Floyd had a significant amount to do with that as well and contraire to widespread belief, there are some who actually like him and like to see him fight.


Hatton is making demands that he is well aware will not be met. Floyd is not going to acquiesce to the demands of a fighter who really does not even have that reputable of a resume, with the exception of about 4-5 fights.


Hatton is no slouch. However, he is not in the position to be making demands of Floyd Mayweather Jr. at this point, as Floyd was not in that position when he wanted to fight DLH.


As for the trash talk, please. Ricky has been trash talking for a while now, to the chagrin of many because he has turned down a fight with Floyd. We all know every damn body wants to get paid and if you can do it while beefing up your resume, so be it. It's time to wake up and realize heart is at the bottom of the list of priorities at the level these men are fighting at.

When Hatton was offered Mayweather he wasnt ready, Mayweather camp knew that, Thats why they offered him the fight...But now after seeing the DLH VS MAYWEATHER FIGHT,And see Hatton back to his normal self in the ring, he will do the job..The same thing is gonna happen again as it did with Castillo, everyone going Castillo is great hes gonna smash Hatton up! then after he got beat, And I mean it was ONE CLASS of a PUNCH..HANDS DOWN..hes now shot and over the hill..whats that all about...
Why dont big boy Mayweather come to London and fight??? I think Hatton should give it 60/40 then bring his arse to England, and I think if that offer was on the table Hatton would sign...

[ml2niceguy]

yes! the return of floyd

[hugh grant]

I wonder if team mayweather were as impressed with Hattons win over castillo as they were PBFs win over Castillo.?

Hatton

The only fighter who is disrespectful is Mayweather. Listen to this guy Ellerbe whatever the ****heads name is calling him a phony and the typical American ****e which comes out of there mouths. Hatton can generate more money than ****in Mayweather, Hattons fans will be paying Mayweathers purse when they buy all the tickets. If Mayweather fought in Manchester and won that would be the biggest achievement of his career to go to a foreign country and beat the Champ.

HATTON ain't the champ of the world, he the champ of 140. Floyd is the champ of the world and he has the say so in all stipulations. If hatton is able to even compete in the ring with Floyd is a big achievement, forget going to Manchester, for what...

[deliveryman]

If this fight pans out, I really, really feel sorry for Hatton fans.

Ricky is going to get an ass whooping.
