    I think the offer to fight in the UK was something to do with this :
    WEMBLEY stadium have offered Ricky Hatton the honour of becoming the first British fighter to box at the new £750 million venue.

      Guys, it seems like who ever hatton fights it will be in the UK hobson said that, and i dont think Warren will let hatton abroad against mayweather.,

      So unless floyd comes to england it could be someone else, paulie says it aint gonna be him.

      So Perhaps M'baye or Witter?

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.
        I think you're missing something here.

        Floyd isn't the one asking Hatton for the fight. It's the other way around. But nice try though.

          So why did straight after the Castillo fight did Mayweather people say to Hatton sign the contract, that sounds like a offer from Mayweather to me.

            Because Hatton said he wanted the fight.

              hatton is a coward if he dont fight mayweather. why talk **** on hbo and then when mayweather calls you out you run back to england? that is a cowardly move calling out a fighter he dont really want to fight. some people say he been calling out mayweather since he beat zoo. was hatton ducking all that time or mayweather ducking him until now?

                Let's just put it this way, Floyd has now offered Hatton fights on 4 different occasions, one of them even being in England.

                Ricky has declined them all.

                  How the hell do some of you know whats a good offer or not. Some of you need to shut the **** up and understand the business more. Floyd made 20 mil for fighting Oscar. Yeah because it was Oscar and he is a real big name. How do yall expect for him to make the same amount for Hatton. Before the fight with Oscar Floyd was making around the same figures he is being offered right now. Yall make it seem like he was making twenty mil in his fights before his fight with DLH. I mean he made less than 10 mil facing Baldomir and Judah, so how is that ****ty money. Maybe Hatton's people are trying get out the fight but don't say 10 mil isn't enough just because he had ONE fight that he got paid 20 mil for. Mayweather knows the business and I'm pretty sure he knows hes not gonna get offered the same amount to fight Hatton. Also you need to think about how they would split up the gate and pay per view buys. Floyd would get a pretty good chunk of that also. All I'm saying is don't make comments about what offer is ****ty or not without knowing all the facts first. Wait till all the details are out there before you say anything.

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.
                    more dumb ass posts that make no sense. you do not think hatton who is not the undisputed p4p should not have to come here to fight when he fought his last few fights here? what the hell are you sayin dupe. hell yeah he should have to come here. if he were a bigger name than mayweather i could see your point. but he not.


                    slap yo self for this dumb **** if you can't see why.

                      That's just not true.
