Mayweather: "Hatton Won't Take The Fight"

[DLT]

hey, how do you guys copy stuff from BT?

[Technical_Skill]

Looks like Hatton's making Floyd doubt himself - he only called himself the greatest of this era.

Floyd will price himself out by demanding DLH level money.

Dude, He isnt scared to fight Hatton, Hatton was the one who priced himself out, thing is, floyd has now called his bluff and wants to fight, infact he has now gone on record as saying he will fight hatton next, ricky cant ask for silly money now, its time for him to sign the contract.

Ricky wants this fight and would dominate all night long.

Squeal.

You are lying.

With all due respect, what you just said is an abject lie. And I believe that you KNOW it is.

TEAM HATTON is the one who declined to negotiate for the fight. And I'm willing to make a wager to prove that.

How are you going to prove it? OK I bet you a million dollars that both sides failed to negotiate. Hey, I won, because if the fight didn't happen then that means neither side negotiated, or at the very least negotiations failed on both sides!

I don't believe in fighters ducking one another, but I do believe that each fighter will and should try and negotiate their best possible deal. All this "just sign the contract" business is silly talk, if Hatton is going to sell himself short just for the privilege of fighting Floyd Mayweather then he should just screw it and fight someone else. That will be a real shame but it's the truth of it. I would expect Mayweather to take the greater share of the spoils because he has the added PPV experience but to suggest that Hatton should just sign a blank contract and let Mayweather's team fill in the blanks is absurd.

Let's just hope that the fight happens.

Ricky Never expected mayweather to come out and offically say he wants to hatton to fight, hatton is a good guy, but his card got pulled and now the talking is coming to end, no more talking ricky, sign the contract and beat mayweather like you claim you can.

Personally i think Ricky in his heart knows there is a slim chance of him beating mayweather, thus why he turned down the fight so many time before,

I hope he doesnt back out this, i just wanna see this fight, i think hatton has a chance to win, but i also think there is a chance he could get badly hurt.

no more talking ricky, sign the contract

There is no contract because the parties havent discussed terms.

[Technical_Skill]

There is no contract because the parties havent discussed terms.

But i belive they will, for around the 4th time now, and hatton has to accept, because if he gets offered 70/30 and above and doesnt take it, then i'll be pissed because we all got cheated out of seeing a great fight. He has never been on HBO ppv, he isnt worth anymore than 65/35, if he beats mayweather, he can make loads more money, and according to hatton and his fans, he will beat mayweather, so whats the problem?

Ricky, dad is quoted today saying he wants the fight,ricky will move up to 147 but they will do things differently to the collazo fight.My opinion is ricky with his body punching has a great shot although pbf is a very talented boxer.It would be very difficult for ricky to not take this fight now,he will have to go to america but thats not a problem there will be thousands going from th uk so he will have all the support.Hatton will take the fight and he will be underdog yes,just like he was against kostav tsyu and just like calzaghe was against lacey(was he an ageing fighter also!)but he has a chance and I for one would love nothing better than the hit manshutting up mayweather once and for all and retiring him without choice!!

[squealpiggy]

The problem is that it's a megafight, and he's a big name. He shouldn't be nickle and dimed. I would expect him to make at least 10 million for a fight of this magnitude when you factor in PPV revenues and so on.

I didn't say he was scared, although he should be.

If Floyd asks for anything more than $12m for this fight then he's pricing himself out, regardless of the split. Let's see the contracts exchanged, not verbal volleyball.
