    I been saying it for a while now, the rumors are, Hatton will stay at 140 and fight someone Not mayweather.

    The official announcement is in august,

    But if im right, you heard it here 1st, its looks like it will be in the UK, at 140, and not mayweather.
    i'm thinking it may be paulie malignaggi, but i don't know if he'd be comfortable with coming to the uk.

      Highly unlikely. Paulie says no way he will do it over there, but maybe the money will make him change his mind.

      But the truth will reveal itself in august, the fact that mayweather hasnt actually come out and said the fight is off, leads me to belive team hatton are assesing their options.

      Seriously though, there is talk they dont wanna fight mayweather next, i said it when hobson made that crap offer, didnt anyone find it funny he didnt mention the weight the fight would be at, cos ellerbe says it will only happen at 147.

      Apparently team hatton dont want to take mayweather 1st fight back at 147,they only willing to do the fight at 140 (regardless of what ray hatton says)

      But we will see, in my opinion, M'baye could be next, i honestly think team hatton was shocked when mayweather called them out to fight, i dont think they expected it and i dont think they are ready (again), the fact they involved with warren makes it even worse.

      I hope this fight happens ASAP though.

        Two very strange conclusions to come to. Hatton makes Mayweather an offer. PBF refuses it, makes no offer in response. Meanwhile Hatton's people say that Hatton will fight at 147, but he will be weighing in at his usual JWW weight because he feels that the extra weight hinders him. Meanwhile his highlights appear briefly on ITV...where in his highlights he says that Mayweather is the fight that he wants. Throughout this we hear literally nothing from PBF. This you interpret as being Hatton is back with Warren, Hatton doesnt want to fight Mayweather, however PBF DOES want to fight Hatton?

        You are crazy with one-sidedness.

        Just the conclusion that Hatton would want to get back with Warren simply because he appeared briefly on an ITV broadcast, despite being promoted very well through Hobson, despite making the biggest money of his career through Hobson, despite his legal history with Warren, it tantamount to madness.

          Hatton could be under Mayweather Promotions and he still wouldn't fight Mayweather...

                Your boxing knowledge is way off here.

                1) Hatton and Warren will work together again and thats almost a certainty, its part of the agreement of the out of court settlement, which ray Hatton acknowledged already, so i dont know why you think its speculation Hatton will rejoin Warren, its pretty much inevitable, or the Hatton's would have been sued for breach of contract.

                2) Wait and see, Habson isnt hatton's promoter, that 'offer' (to fight in the UK when they already knew mayweather would say no, lol) meant nothing, he wasnt even in a position to offer that money when hatton agreed to work with warren on future fights lol. As i said at the time, the weight was never specified, probably for a reason, because once again mixed messages are coming from team hatton, one min ray says they want the fight in the UK, next minute they know the fight will only happen in america, the lastest line is hatton will fight him at 140, next minute hatton will fight him anywhere, lol.

                3) The Rumors are that Hatton will fight on at 140, under Warren Promotions against M'baye or someone else, in England, so if that happens, Lemonchiff said that ages ago, give him the credit.

                Wait and see, the truth will come very soon and we will know if mayweather is afraid to fight him, personally, i dont think he is as he has fought better fighters, i do know that team hatton has claimed in the past they were'nt ready and turned mayweather down, i also dont think mayweather would call hatton out with Leonard Ellerbe offering them the fight at 147 weeks ago live on British radio if he didnt wanna fight Hatton, i dont know why team hatton didnt publicly accept ellerbe's offer, instead of hobson making a new one he knew was gonna get rejected.

                Lets see what happens, i hope the fight goes ahead asap.

                  I've said all along Hatton wouldn't fight Mayweather. He's had two chances before and didn't go for it. Why would he now? Nothing has changed since then. They've both just gotten older.

                    I'm not getting involved in a lengthy debate about this because they are very few facts in this matter, merely varying opinions.

                    What you're citing as 'boxing knowledge' seems more like knowledge of boxing legal disputes, of which I happily admit that I know very little.

                    All I know is that we got an 'offer' with no details from Mayweather and then NOTHING else. In response we got a counter offer from Hatton, which Mayweather's camp refused with no renegotiation offered. Past history is irrelevant here. Hatton has continued to speak about Mayweather, to say on national TV that he wants to fight him, he has stated quite clearly and very recently what his tactics would be towards the fight (in terms of how he'd fight him at 147, but around his normal fighting weight). On the other hand we have heard very little from Mayweather and as such Hatton is clearly listening to other options afterall, he's still an officially active fighter and PBF isnt. Furthermore PBF had made enough money through his career, Hatton is still looking for his next fight.

                    Personally, its my habit to listen to what the people involved are or are not saying rather than just to my own conclusions and then try to throw them on other people.

                    I will wait and see. But I'll do so expecting that both parties are being honest in what they have said (ie Hatton wants to fight Floyd, if the conditions are agreed upon Floyd will fight Hatton). Whereas you will wait and see, apparently automatically assuming that Floyd is the benchmark of honesty and Hatton and his camp are full of ****. You arent very open-minded.

                      Your boxing knowledge was way off because once again you were factually wrong.

                      You questioned the possiblity of hatton rejoining warren instead of re signing with hobson.

                      Your wrong

                      This is what Frank Warren had to say after the out of court settlement

                      Boxing: Frank Warren wants to promote Ricky Hatton bouts again after settling a libel action with the fighter's father.


                      An agreed statement issued on Warren's behalf stated: "Frank Warren has agreed to cease his action against Ray Hatton on the basis that both Ray Hatton and Frank Warren have agreed to enter into discussions with respect to Ricky's future fights."

                      Thus he virtually confims he ceased legal action on the agreement Ricky would fight with him again, otherwise the hattons would have been sued for breach of contract, apparently they had no chance in court anyways, warren had a watertight contract, and they broke it.

                      Thus why your version of events wasnt correct.
