      And only a complete tard would suggest Hatton should get 60% and Mayweather 40%

      HBO is an American based network, so you cant compare each fighters drawing power based on HBO when Floyd is an American fighter. Stop comparing apples to oranges.

        Dude HBO is the network that matters, why do you think De La hoya was on HBO, Roy Jones, these guys made **** loads of money.

        Same reason Hatton is on HBO because he wants to make money,

        I live in London, i know how popular hatton is down here, he is very popular up north and less so down here, dont talk ****, Mayweather is the bigger draw otherwise HBO would have put Hatton on PPV by now.

        Simple.

            Do you know anything at all about Floyd's career? ANYTHING?!?!

            You're accusing Floyd of fighting shot fighters? ROFL.

            Tszyu was nearly 36 years old when he fought Hatton (2 years older than Oscar when he fought Floyd), and had only fought 3 rounds in almost 3 years.

            And talking about shot fighters, Castillo on Saturday night was the very definition of shot.

            Coincidentally, those are Hatton's two best wins.

            Don't even try to compare their resumes because there isn't even a legitimate comparison.

              Exactly what i thought when i read this,

              lets see if its true,

              If Frank Warren gets involved, this fight may be finished anways, u know what he is like to negotiate with, lol.

                    I went to ricky hatton forum to see what they saying about this

                    Apparently ricky's deal with hobson is over, he is free,

                    Now Ray Hatton and Warren just settled out of court and they will talk about future fights

                    You know warren aint letting hatton go to america, but he may offer floyd more money to come over here. AKA the fight wont happen

                    If warren gets involved, i think Paulie M may come to the UK as Hatton's next fight,

                    Which is a very good fight, but its not mayweather.

                      Aside from HBO and PPV, who would pack the MGM GRAND with more fans, Hatton or Floyd? No need to reply, we all know the answer to that question. Drawing power is about having fans pay to watch u fight. Hatton clearly proved he can pack any U.S arena. For someone who has only had 3 fights on U.S soil, that aint bad. While Floyd may be the most highly skilled fighter out right now, his stock has gone down with his performances against Baldomir and Oscar.
