Hobson Offers Mayweather $10 Mil to Fight Hatton in UK
Collapse

All right, I consider myself a pretty un-biased observer, I don't really like either that much but I agree that this offer isn't really good for the following reasons.
1. Floyd is the more well known fighter of the two and has a lot more options for big fights then Hatton, so Hatton needs Floyd more then Floyd needs Hatton
2. 10 Mil isn't that much for Floyd to go the UK, Jermain Taylor was offered 8 mil to fight Calzaghe in Wales. Jermain Taylor is not PPV worthy and isn't on the scale of Mayweather but was offered a deal in the same league , now you cannot tell me that Floyd Mayweather is only worth 2 mil more then Taylor, he can draw PPV's by himself, not on the scale of the De La Hoya fight but the Baldomir fight did pretty good numbers.
3. Floyd is "retired" and needs to be offered good $ to come out.
I have a solution give Floyd 14-15 Mil and the lions share of the PPV buys and get it on.Comment

When did i ever say that it should be a 60/40 split in favor of Hatton? For Floyd and his nuthugging worshipers to say that 10m+ is a bull**** offer, is rediculous! Remember, it was Floyd who is planning on coming out of retirement to face Hatton. Hatton embarrased, and bruised Floyd's ego in Floyd's home town, so now Floyd wants to come out of his 8 week retirement to so called "shut Hatton mouth, and beat his ass back to England". If thats so, Floyd should take the 10m+ and shut Hattons mouth regardless of where the fight takes place.
1) Floyd is the champ and the draw, he has the options, he can simply fight better fighters than Hatton in the US like Cotto and Mosley,he doesnt need hatton , mayweather doesnt have to do anything.
2) Mayweather made 8 million for BALDOMIR, how is mayweather fighting hatton in hatton's backyard only worth two million more? lol.
3) Mayweather said he would do the fight anyhere in the US, Ray Hatton said ricky hatton agreed to mayweather's interview and just wanted the fight to happen, mayweather said he wouldnt fight in the Uk
4) So if team hatton want the fight so bad, why are they asking mayweather to do the ONE thing he has said he wouldn't, which is come to england?
5) You supported the 60/40 split above, i think, i will try and find your exact quote now.Comment

Listen mayweather specifically stated he would do the fight, just ont in britain
Ray Hatton agreed,
Why did they agree?
And then at the last min change and say they want the fight in britain
When floyd Already said no after last saturday?
lol.
You guys make no sense, one min you say the hatton fight in britain makes loads of cash
NOW YOUR SAYING IT ONLY MAKES 2 MILLION MORE THAN THE BALDOMIR FIGHT.
LOL.Comment

You wont shut me up with any quotes and you seem to forget that Hatton is in a position of strength now as well. He doesn't need to fight Mayweather and there are plenty of other fights out there for him where he can make plenty of money. If I was desparate to fight someone, as Mayweather apparently is, I would be more than happy to do it for $10M.Comment

What makes u think he has done that,two lackluster performances against C class opponents,then a knockout of a old Castillo has made his stock rise? People still need convincing,over here in the UK,alot of people are huge Calzaghe fans now,they lost a lot of intrest in Hatton after the Kostya fight,he might have gained them back from the Castillo fight,but his stock hasnt RISEDComment
