These Events In England Arent Helping Hatton

SO it's a mixture of Floyd being too successful and Ricky being too good?

First off the bigger gate dont mean **** , the PPV is where the money is , 75% of the gate in the UK would buy the PPV anyway , its only a night out for them they buy a cheap seat and go home , the corporate dollar from the Vegas casinos is huge the vistor influx spending and advertising dollar is astronomical , the big fights are in Vegas for a reason , all this talk about more money in the UK is a crock from people that dont know anything about economic marketing , the gate is the small change revenue at big fights in arenas and football fields , casino gates are smaller in numbers but you pay triple the seat price so the dollar ends up the same , 50,000 UK PPVs and 20,000 pricy casino seats are worth double the money to the fight promoters than a UK venue , plus the casinos pay the promoters of a fight like this to hold it in thier casino not the other way around .

The other side of the issues as to why Floyd wont go to the UK is personal safety and I dont mean from Hatton , when Floyd owns Ricky infront of his large home crowd it will get ugly , Hagler was lucky to get out alive , the Brits are sore losers and have a history of riots and such after big losses , Floyd is a superstar and his advisers and such wont put him at a risk like that , this not a fight after school its big big business .

Then you have the fact that Ricky called him out , you dont call someone out and after they except start calling the shots as to where what and how , Ricky is starting to squirm , he didnt think Floyd would jump down his neck and now he is gunna try and back out and save face at the same time and he will do that by making bull**** demands , Hatton will get owned by Floyd the world knows it and so does Hatton .

There is no reason this fight will be in the UK , the only ones that think it should are Hatton huggers that dont know what they are talking about .

There have been more riots and violence in fights in the US than there has in Britain.

Is that all you could find in that post !

Go and watch Hagler Mintor , and then show me a high profile US fight where the crowd attacks the legit winner like that !

Thats definatly a big part of it and if you think thats a bad thing or that makes Floyd a punk then you need to check your ego because no one would do that. Floyd is definatly too successful to be giving Hatton the Home Court Advantage in probally the biggest HCA of all. Ricky is also too good to do that. There is a differnce between fighting someone like Urkal there then it is fighting Hatton. Forget England, you never even see that in the US. You never see the higher rated guy fight a good lower rated guy in his home town. Floyd fought Gatti in AC because he wanted to get the big money fight on PPV for the 1st time and Gatti was the champ while Floyd had no belt at all.

You always here boxers say that "Im definatly not going to fight him there" and Im talking about in the US. You want the #1 guy then you go to him. Everyone knows that in every sport. If Hatton wins then he can have the rematch in Wembly. Again, not only that but Hatton wants all that and even money. Do you think Floyd is a fool? No one would do that. To me, you could argue very well that Hatton hasnt done anything and is still a protected fighter. He's had all his fights in England and when he did go to the US, he always had a very pro Hatton crowd. Its just like he's still fighting in England. He hasnt one time yet had a fight where he had to go against a crowd or even a half of a crowd. Lets see how he fights without the crowd all behind him one time. Again, what if Floyd wanted to fight in Grand Rapids? Forget the money crap, Im not even talking about that. Im just speaking from a pure fighting standpoint. What if he fought Floyd there and it was a sell out crowd all for Floyd? Hatton wouldnt want to do that and it would be 10x worst for Floyd doing it in Wembly

these places DO have security u know...

And anyone who wont get on a plane for 10 million bucks, and fight a guy you'll be heavily favored to beat AND will do good for your legacy, then that person is insane

Its not insane when that same person can stay in the states and do the same thing with Margarito, Cotto, Mosley........you get the picture.

I really comes down to what BOTH fighters want and thats money. Vegas as the venue means more money than it would make if it were in the UK. Plain and simple.

Could DLH and PBF made 10million each fighting if they fought in Mexico or Europe yeah, probably but they made MORE because they fought in Vegas.

[Winkyftw!]

British security is as good or better than the security here.

Dont let these ****ers scare you, thats what they want.
