Because Hatton doesn't have the standing in boxing which Mayweather does.
Floyd has beaten more big names, is American, comes from a championship winning family and is considered by many writers to be the best P4P boxer in the world.
Hatton by contrast is British and his profile in the US is relatively low and has only really two or three big name wins under his belt.
As things stand, if Hatton wins, he will have beaten the best and if Mayweather wins he'll have beaten a name which is currently not perceived as the best.
