Originally posted by CounterpunchI personally thought the idea of staging a fight in the 60,000 capacity City of Manchester stadium, or the recently renovated 90,000 seater Wembley Stadium would be a great spectacle. Hatton could easily attract 40,000+ off his own back, even more for a superfight. I guess Floyd is not the guy to co-star in that one though...
It is about what is LIKELY to happen.
Mayweather Just isn't likely to go the UK regardless of the Money, he doesnt wanna go there, he has made that clear on several occasions.
Ray Hatton says ricky will fight him anywhere so why not in the US.
Now ask yourself this, if team hatton is so focused on getting mayweather to the UK
Why are they supposedly negotiating with Paulie M too?
If Hatton's next fight is not against mayweather, we all know why and what happened,
If Hatton offers to come to the USA, the fight can happen.Comment

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%.Comment

I guess they're negotiating with Malignaggi too, because everyone knows how many fights Mayweather has priced himself out of. If Mayweather is too scared to fight him, or whatever other "reason" he has to not take the fight, then I'd prefer to see Ricky make the step up to Welterweight again anyway, anyone regarded as a top 5-10 fighter, then go for a superfight against someone else. Fighting Paulie would give the impression he has plans to stick at Light Welterweight, which is not where the big fights are at.
Also.
Why is team hatton making an offer for floyd to come over to the UK, when he has made it clear in the past he is highly unlikely to fight there?
Why cant they fight in the USA?
Its getting silly now, lets see what happens.Comment

This is very sad. Hatton and crew are simply trying to toss long offers out there to save face so they can come back with something "we were ready to fight but Mayweather turned it down!"
Fact is, Mayweather is at top right now and Hatton is the one with something to prove. So if Hatton really want to fight Mayweather, come to Las Vegas and fight. Don't throw condition after condition out there hoping to catch an out.Comment

Who knows if this fight gets signed. Color me pessimistic.Comment
