    If the gate at a soccer stadium was as big as you make it seem then Europe's best would be fighting in....... none other than Europe. ****, America's best would be fighting in Europe.

        It depends on how popular the fighters involved are though.

          well hatton is the real draw here if the fight in england. he should get 50/50 with maywetaher. both are undefeated and hatton is the true 140 champ and mayweather is the 147 champ. they both deserve close to the same money especially if its in the uk.

          yo he really said klitsko is better than rjj? give me what hes smoking.

Floyd is the #1 P4P guy in the sport and England only has about a handful of good fighters so why do they think guys need to come over there? Its a joke. Its bad enough that he wants Floyd to come there but then he's only going to give him 10mil? I was the only guy on here upset when Hatton tried to give Harris chump change to come to England when Harris was the champ and Hatton hadnt done **** at the time. He was low balling the hell out of Harris but everyone tried to take Hatton's side. Harris knew that he shouldve been offered alot more money then that.

            Now its happening to Floyd but it wont work. No way Floyd will do that. If Hatton wants that fight in England then he better come out his ass with money. I heard one person on here say that Hatton is going to have most of the fans anyway so why not just do it in Wembly where its a big stadium? I say that is a backwards statment. If Hatton is going to have most of the fans then why should Floyd give him the fight in England? It only makes sense to fight here if thats the case, that way its 50/50 as far as Hatton having the fans but Floyd has the fight here.

            Lets be for real on who the real chump is. Lets switch roles. Lets say that Floyd was like Hatton and had a bunch of people taking long rides to see him fight. Do you not think Floyd would come to Wembley and fight Hatton if he knew that 95% of the fans would be for him? He would do that all day so why cant Hatton do it? Its not like Hatton is going to walk into a building where everyone is against him and its not like he's going to a place where there's less money to be made, right? If he fights Floyd in Vegas then he will still have a ton of fans and it will be like a home fight. It will also be a big money fight. Its not like Floyd has any advantage but if Floyd goes there then Hatton has the huge advantages.

            Stop acting like this US/England thing is the same because its not. If Hatton comes to the US then he still has a ton of fans no matter what. If guys like Floyd, Hopkins, RJ, or whoever goes overseas then it will be a million people agains them and they will have no fans, just like Lacey & basically like Tszyu. Its not the same at all for Hatton. If he comes here then he still has basically a home fight. Thats not proving ****. He atleast could come here. If he doesnt then he's a chump and there's no 2 ways to cut it. You have to admit that Im right. Hatton will have more of the crowd, atleast have the fight in the US so it can be even. Then not only that but they have the nerve to offer him chump change to do it? Get real. If Hatton wants that and there's only 20 mil to be made then Floyd should get 15. Hatton takes 5 and has a great chance at winning. That would be fair and you know it. I think it will be more money then even that but if Hatton wants it like this then he has to give Floyd 75%. If he wins then he can make more money in his future fights. He would be a huge star. Its only right to give Floyd the big cake if they want that. If not then its dumb. It sounds like he either doesnt want the fight or he wants to make sure that he has a great chance of winning, which is basically like fighting floyd in his own home and when I say home, I mean his actual home. Thats what it would be like


            You have given this subject entirely too much thought.

                10 mil is a lot but not for someone who claims to be retiring and to go over to england he does want to fight him but he does want to look like engish baby

                  You still need big matchups to fill a stadium, even in Europe. This rarely happens, Euro fighters are notorious for ducking the real competition and hiding in their home countries.

                    mayweather should fight hatton anywhere anytime after getting punked out in the post fight interview after the castillo fight. location and money shouldn't even be a object in the negotiations of the fight.


                    if mayweather plays hardball in the negotiations i would have to lean towards mayweather ducking hatton, because his rep and his pride are on the line, money, location, etc, shouldn't even be a factor if mayweather fights for pride and his integrity. but that's just me, i'm old school that way..............


                    the ball is in mayweather's court no matter what he say's, mayweather is the one that has been called out in public and in embarrassing fashion. no matter what mayweather says he's going to have to make it happen or he will look like a chump.................

                    if hatton plays hardball, the same goes with him. but as of right now hatton has made it clear that he wants to get the fight on.

                    i think the fight being over in the UK would be bigger than it would if it were to happen in the USA. no matter what anyone says Hatton is the bigger draw of the two. the only time mayweather has a big crowd is if he is fighting a MEXICAN, when ever mayweather fights any other type of fighter, there are just as many empty seats in the arena as there are ones that are filled, it's usually 50/50.



                    plus i don't remember people walking out of a hatton fight before the final round, like people did with mayweather-baldomir..............

                      You Clown Ass Bitches need to take that ****** **** somewhere else. You guys still keep spitting that same **** like Floyd isnt a draw. Go check the PPV numbers you ****** bastards. He ****in fights Baldy and does bigger numbers then all of these other clowns. Stop saying that same **** all the time because it isnt true at all. He just broke the PPV record. Sure Oscar is the man but he isnt getting even half that much with anyone else in boxing right now. Floyd fought Zab and got 400 buys while Cotto fights him and is lucky to get 200. This other dumb ass comes on here sweating Margarito who gets PPV buys of 35,000.

                      Stop acting like Floyd is not a draw. He's more famous in America then all of those guys. The numbers will easily tell you that. Nobody is buying a Hatton PPV in America and no one is buying a Cotto PPV. So what Hatton brings people to the seats? Boxing is super huge in his country. He's not doing anything special. You guys act like he's doing something super and he's not. If any other top fighter was raised there and fought there then they would have the same thing and even more. Stop saying crazy ****. If a Soccer star grew up in the US then no one would know or care about him. Beckam is huge but if he was born & raised in the US then no one would care about him over here. The same **** goes for Hatton. If his ass was born and raised here then he would just be a regular chump and no one would be following to see his fights. Stop acting like his **** is so special.

                      At the end of the day Floyd is rated #1 and thats all that matters. You ****in haters can cry all you want but he's #1 and thats that. If Hatton doesnt take the fight then Floyd will just stay retired and eventually Hatton will get exposed by someone else and then you same clowns will try to bring up another name like always
