Hitman targets Pacman (sort of)! Ricky Hatton's lawyer Gareth Williams says Hatton is interested in a showdown with P4P king Manny Pacquiao, but only under the Hatton Camp's terms. "Every light welterweight in the world wants to fight Hatton," Williams told PA Sport. "We've had approaches from everybody. We've also had approaches from people at 130 pounds, Juan (Manuel) Marquez and Juan Diaz both want to fight him. He is a massive draw and can fight where he wants. We've also had approaches from Mayweather to have a rematch with him. He wants to fight Ricky. But the fight we want to make, our preference, is Manny Pacquiao because we think that is a great fight. Ricky has made no secret of the fact he wants to take on the best and Pacquiao is regarded as the best....but it has to be on our terms. We won't be bullied or forced into any decision that is not on our terms." Wednesday, December 17 2008
This all bull****.Hatton's camp trying to get Manny on the cheap.There are many lightweights for sure but Manny brings the most money.Mayweather's name is just being thrown in to give Hatton a stronger position in negotiations.Only a fool believes team Hatton,they are the kings of spin.Remember what they said about their amicable parting with Graham.
Get the Fcuk outta here. It's Hatton who should be wanting to fight Pacquiao. Mayweather's people approached Hatton for a re-match? For what? So Mayweather can get to Hatton before Pacquiao does?
These Junior WW politics are ******ed.
Hatton should put the belt on the line for Pacquiao. And then the winner of that should fight Mayweather.
These fcukin prizefighters are so difficult to deal with. It's the business aspect that will be boxing's downfall.
I think that boxers/trainers and promoters, lawyers, business-men should keep things separate.
Isn't it amazing how one person who generates millions of dollars (the boxer) has to spread it around with other members who have nothing to do with fighting, other than the business part.
Pacquiao, Mayweather and Hatton are the hot items right now in the Junior WW division. *****, if the money's there why wouldn't other WW cut 8 pounds to join in the millions of dollars.
Hatton's camp are not in any position to put anything out there with regards to "their term's" Pac's the biggest asset, market wise right now. It'll be Pac's terms or nothing and that's only if Mayweather pulls himself out running, because all we've heard right now are what other people are saying about a fight with Pac or a rematch with Hatton, no official statement from Mayweather camp. Talks between Hatton and Pac's team will be broken off very early I think...
hatton & floyd are teaming up against manny to get the leverage, i see manny getting a little piece of pie again.

Hatton could easily get 1,800,000 ppv's in the UK for this fight. I doubt this breaks 1,000,000 in the U.S.
