Any News on Hatton vs PBF??

[Technical_Skill]

You are talking in a lot of ifs and buts here, unless you are a spy in Top Rank and Goldenboy then i don't find the majority of your reasoning credible. Floyd has openly stated that if it makes money, it makes sense - money means lots to Floyd so you think he would turn down that sort of money just because of a little spat with Bob Arum? If there WERE options in the contract then i can understand refusing it, but we don't have any such confirmation. Arum, after the money paid to Mayweather would STILL be in profit, so i doubt he would be too concerned if Mayweather won and ****ed off.

In point 7, i take it you are referring to Baldomir? Have you got an article or something confirming the money Mayweather made for that fight?

I read the reports that Hatton wanted $13 million and that was way over the top, but we didn't know the options at that time. Either way, it was a demand way unrealistic, i agree, however, the man has a right to make as much money as he can. Also, you don't honestly believe the retirement talk? Mayweather never believed it himself - he's full of bull**** and lies.

One more time, it did make monetary sense for mayweather, he got 8 millon anyways to fight the linear welterweight champ and made 20 million in his next fight.

lol.

Again ive seen you on ricky hatton forum, so i know what to expect, but i dont know how you can say floyd is lieing,

Or do you want me to post the links to hatton saying he wants mayweather next fight..............

THAT WAS IN 2005.

lol.

Once again, i'll say - are you referring to Baldomir as the linear Welterweight champion?

Don't know how i can say Floyd is lying? Of course he's a ****ing liar - he was never going to retire, he did it for the publicity and to help promote the De La Hoya fight.

Hatton wants Mayweather - when he says he wants fighters he means it. He said he wanted Tszyu about 3 years before the fight happened, he eventually got him. He said he wanted Castillo - he eventually got him. He isn't scared of nobody and he wants the challenges, if you cannot see that then you are deluded. He moved up in weight at 7 weeks notice, he went to America and headlined bills, he continues to prove his critics wrong. They said he would get destroyed by Tszyu, they said Castillo will expose him, they said he was a hometown fighter.

Well now he's a multi-time world champions, a 2 weight world champion... you can't expect much more but he is still pushing for it.

Hatton said he wanted Mayweather in 2005, yes... but during that time Mayweather was cherry picking his opponents moving up through the weights (you know, fighting a shot Gatti, Bruseles and Mitchell... who don't forget got his arse handed to him by Tszyu - who Hatton fought in that very year) and Arum was still nurturing Cotto.

I'm not saying Hatton isn't completely to blame for such fights not happening but to say he talks without backing it up is daft.

Yeah Baldomir was the lineal welterwight champ.

Mayweather must be good at cherry picking, he picked hatton in 2005 but hatton didnt wanna fight, Arum did wanna let cotto fight him at that stage either.

Didnt Hatton wanna fight gatti? YES

Didnt hatton want a fight with baldomir? YES

Mayweather has fought far better fighter then hatton, he also beat castillo in his prime, not when he was shot and dont say he lost the first one unless you have seen it, if you have seen it, tell us how you scored it.

Hatton talks without backing it up all the time, he said he'd love to fight witter, and then he said he'd never fight him,

He's been saying he wants mayweather next for nearly 3 years.

I know your a fan of him, your welcome to your opinion, but i dont think u being realistic.

Hatton wanted to fight the winner of Baldomir/Gatti and i think that's perfectly reasonable considering he hasn't been proclaiming himself as the pound 4 pound best in the sport.

Mayweather did beat Castillo in his prime, yes, but the man had only just turned 34 when he fought Hatton. Those who say 'he was totally shot' need to watch the fight. He was getting into the fight round 3 onwards - and HBO were awful, stating Castillo was all over the place after just a few seconds? Hatton managed to KO Castillo, Mayweather couldn't.

Regarding Witter, i'm sure Hatton would love to knock him out - but considering he's done nothing but beat a poor Corley - Witter can barely be called a world class fighter and is not credible. Hatton doesn't feel Witter brings enough to the table and that he has only been mentioned in the same breath because of his mouth and his constant running of it. If Witter hadn't talked so much, he wouldn't even be considered. This fight, earlier in his career, would have been good for Hatton - but he's not even a 5th choice fighter for Ricky now.

Don't know if anyones said tis already, but Hatton interviewed yesterday..18july/ on radio 2 (national station) in Uk, asked about the up coming fights ..said he has ased his team to go for Mayweather.
seemed very matter of fact about it.

Thats very good, its not the same as saying mayweather is next, but its good,

personally, i still dont think the fight will happen, lets wait and see.

[JJay]

Fact is Ray Hatton said there would be news sometime in August...so why people are expecting news now in July..is beyond me....chill the **** out...if hatton cums out n says he is taking on barbra bush in his next fight..great diss him all u want..but fact is..neither of them has said anything yet..and we have been told not to expect to hear anything about a future fight until august.......so again.....chill!

Either you guys are really impatient...or you just needed to make up a reason to start bashing hatton and PBF

As i have said before, its not what WE want to happen, it's what is LIKELY to happen.

This is the way boxing works:

Mayweather doesnt need Hatton, he can fight cotto and mosely in time, better fighters than hatton, money more than Hatton.

Therefore its not mayweather's duty to go out of his way to go down to 140 in england, if hatton wants the fight, its like ellerbe told everyone on british radio, no more talking, 147 pounds , sign the deal he is given.

Example, Mayweather called out de la hoya for years (he acutally wanted to fight it wasnt talk) when mayweather's oppertunity came he did the following

Lets oscar take 2/3's more money than him
Let oscar choose the ring size
Let oscar choose the gloves
Lets Oscar choose the venue
Let oscar choose the date.

If he hadnt of agreed to these terms, there would have been no may 5th fight.

And mayweather won, now he call the shots.

Therefore Hatton must do as he is told if he wants the fight, he cant dictate any terms if he wants the fight, last time he did that and asked for 13 million, you know what happened there.

Thats the way it is, sad but true, if hatton really wants mayweather as much as he claims he does, he'll have no problem doing this in the USA at 147 pounds.

Some very good content within this post.. Good stuff.
