Hobson Offers Mayweather $10 Mil to Fight Hatton in UK

[DiegoFuego]

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.

Sure, he could beat Cotto...and people would say Cotto was overrated. He could beat Mosley...and people would say Mosley was old.

But beating the best fighter in the world...there's nothing you can take away from that.

What?

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.

$10M is an initial offer and what Floyd actually makes from the fight will be more than that as you already know I am sure.

I just find it a little hypocritical for you to say Hatton is ducking Floyd but Floyd is allowed to attach conditions like "not in the UK" when you know fine well that if Hatton said that you would casticate him for "ducking". I would like to know what the difference is between Mayweather refusing to fight in the UK and Hatton refusing to fight in the US?

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 RISED

If you wont admit that Hatton now has a higher profile in the US then there is no point in talking about it because it is simply ridiculous. Also, Hatton will sell more tickets in the UK than Calzaghe.

Of course not but Hatton doesn't need the fight with Floyd. There are easier fights which are nearly as lucrative.

EASY,

Hatton went to the US saying he wanted to fight the best

He said he just wanted mayweather

His dad said the same thing

As soon as team floyd offer him terms

Team Hatton changes them and makes a new offer they know floyd aint goona take,

Thats the point of this

There is no way floyd's coming to england for 10 millon dollars, he can make that kind of money in the US fighting better guys than Hatton.

And if this offer is real, it was made with the intention of killing negotiations.

Floyds desperate? If im correct,Hatton has been saying Floyds name in every interview hes been in,hes ran his mouth to the point Floyd says ok we can fight,sign the contract

Floyd doesnt need Hatton,hes beaten some of the best,Hatton needs Floyd,he needs a win over the best P4P fighter in the sport

Wake up and smell the coffee, £10 million is **** money to get mayweather out of retirement.

Dude, not pounds, dollars. 10 Million pounds is over 20 million dollars.

[mick66]

What are you PBF huggers getting so excited about?

There will be more money to be made in the UK..#

Firstly as stated in the article, the fight can be timed late in the UK to enable the fight to be aired at a resonable time in the US for the PPV...

There will be a huge sell out crowd in the UK....alot bigger than in the States. And with the weak $ against the £, that will do no harm...

So the PPV sales will be the same ...but the venue revenue would be much bigger...

The fight makes more money in the UK fact.....The fighters make more money in the UK...Fact....

Why not fight in the UK with impartial judges and referees..

Is PBF scared of flying or does he not have a passport..

Also ...Will PBF only fight for $20 mill these days...because if thats the case...he will stayed retired....


My last point is that , this is an offer.......
I'm sure that you all must be aware that a great deal of negotiations will be carried out improve this by PBFs camp......
Do you realy expect the first offer to be made to be the best one.....come on wake-up..

Hatton camp now want PBF...fact!!!!

So put you teddy back in your pram.....stop getting hysterical, and talking your ususal bollox.

Hatton doesn't have a higher profile, neither are really that known in the mainstream but Mayweather is more popular because he had the fight with Oscar and is the P4P #1. Although that isn't to say that Hatton should get less then 40 but Mayweather deserves at least 60%.

I can't believe the arrogance when it comes to Mayweather. He's a top class boxer but he's not God and if he point blank refuses to come to the UK then he's a coward in my opinion because that's what Hatton would be called.
