Hobson Offers Mayweather $10 Mil to Fight Hatton in UK

[majestiC]

This is kinda a good for thing that Hobson has done this, Hatton has no contract with Hobson, Warren wants Hatton back. Warren would go into a bidding war most likely for this fight = more money for Mayweather, also I hear Don King, Oscar are all trying to get Ricky there could be a massive bidding war to get the fight happening. This is only Hobsons offer not Hattons remember.

That is not the point.

What is it about this concept that you cannot grasp?

Whether you agree with it or not, there's no denying that's the way boxing works.

When Floyd was trying to get the Oscar fight, he said, and I quote,

"I'll fight the mother****er in Puerto Rico, I'll fight him in Mexico, where ever, we just need to make this fight happen"

Let's get one thing clear:

Floyd does not need Hatton. Hatton needs Floyd.

Just like Oscar did not need Floyd, Floyd needed Oscar, and you know what Floyd did about it?

He let Oscar take a 70/30 split, choose the weight class, choose the location, choose the ring size, choose the gloves, and let him pick the date.

And because Floyd did that, he is now the one in that position. Yet, all he's asking for is for the fight to take place ANYWHERE, but the UK.

You might not agree with it, but it's boxing politics.

If Hatton wants truly wants this fight as bad as he says he does, he'll make it happen.

And what is it that you cannot grasp about the concept of Hatto making money whether against Mayweather or someone else. Mayweather isn't the only person in the world that Hatton can fight.

Bingo, end of thread!

Mosley, De La Hoya, Cotto. Hatton makes big money whether he fights Floyd or not.

mosley made $2 milliion his last fight just like haton. those 2 cant make no money. mosley is a nobody now. hatton cant handle 147. how the hell could he get to 154 for de la hoya. cotto is the same as mosley. he only make 2 million his last fight. that fight would only be big in ny or puerto rico or england but it aint no mayweather fight.

mayweater may fight like a scared ***** but i dont think nobody can deny that people pay to see him lose and he makes the most money. thats why hatton colls him out that why mosley calls him out and thats why even quiet ass cotto calls him out. mayweather is where the money is at unless you want to wait a year or two for de la hoya to fight.

All of those moaning about Floyd not wanting to fight in the UK, I guess you are the same bunch of people who think Hatton should travel to the US for the fight, and take a bum cut of the money on top of that? Somehow I don't think it's fair for Floyd to have the fight in his own backyard, and have a massive percentage of the money. Ricky should take Cotto instead. Half the money, half the bull****, and ten times the proffesionalism. No wonder MMA is over-taking boxing with people like Floyd Mayweather around.

Ricky would not be the first fighter to take short money in order to fight the "BEST" fighter.

Many fighters prefer LEGACY over money and will take short money in order to make bigger money in the future.

What is "short" money in this case anyway? MILLIONS

Hatton made $6m + deal with setanta, hatton can talk money and where ever the fight is in the world, Hatton would have more fans in the stadium, if 10,000 turned up for Castillo, 20,000 would turn up for Mayweather, i'm going if I can get tickets if the fight ever gets made.

I'm not questioning that the Mayweather fight is the most lucrative but there is money to be made in other fights and Hatton's career does not depend on the making of this fight.

Rofl.

You're hopeless, I'm done with you.

If you honestly can't agree with that post, then there's no point in even having a conversation with you.

Bye.

to be fair tho Delivery Man, Mayweather wouldn't be intrested in the fight until Oscar was on the scene, Mayweather knew there is money to be made because Oscar was on Hatton's case. Mayweather being retired is just a gimmick, hes far from being retired that was a excuse to get Oscar in the ring. Now he knows there is a massive amount of money to be made fighting Hatton thats why he wants the fight, if Oscar wasn't intrested in fighting Hatton, Mayweather wouldn't either.

if there was real money for a hatton fight why aint none of the big names calling him out? i never here mosley or cotto call hattons name. only malignagi calls him out and he ain nothing. he dont bring no money. if hatton dont do what it takes to make the fight with mayweather then hes just a coward like mayweather. both of them afraid to fight the best.
