dont tell me mayweather prices himself out.

Hatton admitted he asked for 13 million to fight mayweather, He prices himself out.

Getting boring now, ive got nothing against hatton, but the above are facts.

They are both doing this posturing. Hatton can say Mayweather turned it down if he rejects this offer, and the other way around is true as well if Mayweather has really offered a fight to Hatton. What if the terms are 90-10 split for PBF or something just outrageous like that? If Hatton doesn't sign, he'll say he doesn't want the fight.

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

If the fight doesn't happen, details of negotiations (with a spin from both sides) will likely be made public and we can judge from that. We'll be left extrapolating the truth from the PR.

For Hatton, winning this fight would have a ridiculous ripple effect for him and boxing in general throughout Europe. He's quite well liked over there and a well promoted fight like Oscar/Floyd could see a large TV turnout. At this point, if Ricky wins the fight, he'll just cash in heavily fight after fight.

If Ricky is confident he can win, taking a bit less money now means a ton more in the future and I'm not counting endorsements either. Ofcourse, winning against Floyd is easier said than done.

For Floyd, this fight needs to be a pay day. If he wins the fight, it'll be "expected" and things will move on as is. If he loses, his market value drops dramatically.

Awaiting response to the other 2 3/4 paragraphs of my post.

Here Ya go.

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.

enjoy.

DLH fights are on a whole different level. Floyd doesn't get the fight if he doesn't concede all these points in negotiations, just like any DLH opponent, and rightfully so.

What other fights did he price himself out of then?

That **** ain't right. Only thing he should get to choose heavily on is the money because he is the draw. But as far as all the other **** those was just ***** moves.

Damn...well Im not going to read 20 pages worth of posts so Ill say what a lot of people already said.

Mayweather shouldnt have to go across the pond, and theres no way in hell he will sign for only 10 mill.

[McNulty]

And WTF is $10 million?

Mayweather just made $20 million for De La Hoya,

And they are offering him $10 to come out of retirement to come to hatton's backyard? What kind of money is that?

After he said he would never come to the Uk,

Im sorry, if this offer is true,

Ducking, team hatton trying to get out of the fight.

Wasnt it 12 million that PBF got?

Regardless...I hear wshat your saying. PBF wont go to the UK and its a smart move. The jaws of the UK-Hype machine are salivating to have PBF there.

Hatton wont do it cuz he wants a legacy as undefeated. Hes smart enough to really know how the sport works. He wont fight PBF but will fight a much lesser opponent for the KO. Looks better on paper.

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 still can't believe you typed this.
