Hobson Offers Mayweather $10 Mil to Fight Hatton in UK

[Mozza]

What is the point of hatton fighting in america?

He goes over there and fight Urango and Collzao, hardly big names,

He was excellent against Castillo

But here is the million dollar question, he said he wanted to fight mayweather,

Mayweather said he would fight him next fight,

Ray Hatton said ricky agreed and wanted to fight.

Mayweather said he would NEVER fight in the UK,

So if hatton wants the fight

Why are Team Hatton offering mayweather a fight in the Uk when they KNOW he will say no.

$10 Million to get floyd to come out of retirement and into the UK is silly money

He made $8 Million for Baldomir,

Are you saying Hatton fight is only worth 2 million more than baldy?

Lol, its just a ****** offer,

The fight can only happen in the US, fact, so why ask for something you know will never happen?

I have never before, and probably never will again, read the phrase "only $2M". I would also like to throw this hypothetical situation at you. If Ricky Hatton said he would be happy to fight Mayweather but not in the US, what would you call it?

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.

That's bull****. The point of Hatton going to America was to raise his stock so that he can make more money. Now he has done that and anyone who calls a $10M offer ducking needs to pull their head out their arse.

Do I really have to shut you up with NUMEROUS Hatton quotes?

Please don't make me do it.

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.

Lol more rubbish

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.

Define "the lions share".

[Rudyo]

Define "the lions share".

Of the PPV sales?

Somwhere in the range of 60/40.

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.

Please don't make me do it.

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.

Somwhere in the range of 60/40.

Sounds fair enough.

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
