    Floyd Mayweather - Oscar De La Hoya,Carlos Baldomir,Zab Judah,Arturo Gatti,Jose Luis Castillo x2,Jesus Chavez,Diego Corrales,Genaro Hernandez

    Ricky Hatton - Kostya Tszyu,Jose Luis Castillo

    And u got the nerve to say DLH and Baldomir were old? Thats all i can say

        I applaud this post. Let it be clear. Hatton has nothing over Mayweather. He needs to add Mayweather's name to his resume and not the other way around.



        As for PPV, it is important and Floyd has the second highest PPV numbers behind DLH. It's not everything but it is important. No matter which of them packs the place in this ficticious bout, Floyd will still make the most money.

          Ducking.

          Ricky, Sign the contract.
          Are you kidding? $10M is hardly a derisory offer.

While Floyd may be the most highly skilled fighter out right now, his stock has gone down with his performances against Baldomir and Oscar.
            First of all, the whole point of the so called "Hatton U.S. Invasion" was to land a fight with Floyd Mayweather in the... take a wild guess here...

            UNITED STATES

            Why do you think his last 3 fights have been in the United States in first place?

            Ricky Hatton himself has stated this so many times I have lost count.

            Now all of a sudden he's saying its gotta take place in the UK? This dude a ****ing joke and is flat out ducking.

              Lol, pure rubbish, his stock hasnt gone down, he retired and has multiple options on superfights he can choose, he has options, all of them can make serious money in the US., Hatton, Cotto, Mosley (depending on when he fights them)

              Who would Draw more on US PPV? Hatton or Mayweather?. Mayweather,

              Otherwise why would hatton join HBO is if he the bigger draw where it matter, he hasnt NEVER been on US PPV cos HBO probably dont think he could do good numbers yet. Understand?

              So stop being silly and trying to Justify Hatton getting 60% and Mayweather 40% you just making yourself look even more ******, which is no mean feat.

                No, Mayweather does not deserve an equal purse. Hatton has a better record with 43 wins compared to Mayweather's 38, and has more KOs with 31. Mayweather has fought older boxers than Hatton, such Baldomir and De La Hoya, and has built his record by avoiding prime fighters like Cotto.

                Hatton is a more exciting fighter and a bigger draw. He should receive 60%, PBF 40%.
                I am completely dumfounded by this post.

                    There is no reason why Floyd can't accept a $12million offer to fight in England at Wembley or the City stadium... Hatton will probably sell out the 90, 000 seater Wembley stadium. Floyd will bring about 5% of the crowd, if that...

                    Hobson should offer that... take it or leave it... then we'll see who's ducking who...

                      Sorry didn't get that, could you please post some sense.

                      And technical_skill - I congratulated you on an excellent thread the other day, but you're being stubborn here. It's an offer, and its more concrete than anything I've heard from Mayweather's trashtalking camp.

                      I'm sure PBF could get more than $10mil for a UK fight. It would be huge over here, I'm not sure what Juy is smoking but Hatton is pretty much a household name, and more importantly for this, he will get 60,000+ to attend at wembley or equivalent. Could they get that in the US?
