At least Mayweather Rematched Castillo, Hatton was too scared to rematch Collazo...

[warp1432]

Well couldn't they have had a rematch anyway? I mean Hatton fought Juan Urango next, not Castillo. So it would have still filled the whole set up for Mayweather.

The only thing I have is the whole mandatory defense thing, but you get an optional defense the first time around anyway (I think).

So I don't see why he had to go fight Urango at 140, when he could have rematched Collazo. Not saying he's scared of him, just seeing it from a perspective. Hell, Hatton would know better to not bulid up the weight like he did in the first fight.

This is the fifth thread on this subject in the past three days so I am only going to explain this one more time. If Hatton stayed at welterweight he would have had to face the mandatory challenger for his belt. A rematch against Collazo without a belt is simply not feasible. The only other option would have been for Collazo to fight Hatton at light welterweight which is also not feasible.

Here is the thing about that, The mandatory was Oktay Urkal, which is understandable that he vacated, the biggest problem is that he was offered that Mayweather fight for Mayweathers november date and he declined and went back to 140 altogether, even if someone said the collazo fight had no interest/money in it, which is somewhat understandable i guess, he didint even take the big money fight offered to him in the first place. His stock has lowered majorly, only scoring the KO against the shot Jose Luis Castillo since the Collazo fight, essentially Mayweather is Hatton's cash out fight, if he loses or wins, the idea of him taking on the top welterweights is beyond happening.

Fighting Mayweather in the second fight of a three fight deal with HBO would have been insane. If Hatton's stock has "lowered majorly" then why has the self-styled "Money" Mayweather chosen to fight him? The answer is that his stock has not lowered at all and that the Castillo fight has propelled him to a new level financially.

Yeah, his stock has lowered so much beating an undefeated world champ and Castillo that he's only making 16 million dollars to fight the second biggest fight of the year.

Floyd had been chasing fight with Hatton since his days at 140, while Hattons stock has lowered like i said, its still a viable fight that will make alot of money because hes undefeated and has a fanbase that worships him wherever he goes, his stock has gone down as far as his last few performances barring the Castillo KO when it comes to the USA. Fighting Mayweather when youre supposed to be the unified 140 champ isnt insane at all, if youre an undisputed champion, fighting anyone near youre weight class that is supposed to be the one youre at youre prime in isnt insane at all.

You think its insane that the only reason mayweather never unified at 140 is because of hatton's unwillingness to take the fight?

Hatton is making MUCH more money fighting Floyd now, than he would have then. He knows what he's doing.

I guess, i mean, if you ask me, if floyd was unified champ at 140 and refused to fight a guy who is regarded as the p4p number 1 in the sport, in a weight hes supposed to be outstanding at, this board would explode with hate. people hated on floyd when he refused to fight average beltholder margarito. i think its a definate double standard to defend Hatton for clearly ducking floyd 2 times (documented). You all sit here and talk about how money and buisness dont matter and all, but by saying that you say it does, so from now on, when a fighter opts out of a fight due to not making enough money, i dont wanna hear or see any **** from you at all.
