Hatton Ready To Accept Another Fight, Drop Pacquiao

[hugh grant]

You're irritating me Pac. Do you think you are a superstar like Bruce Lee or something? Take the 50-50. You are lucky to get that.

[trainhard_187]

All those people still saying Delahoya was shot or weight drained need to stop with that, cause for damn sure when Pac and Delahoya squared face to face and seeing how Delahoya was F$#%^ huge compared to Pac, you all were thinking to yourselves "Damn Delahoyas gonna hurt Pac" and your lying if you didnt think that.

Cotto was drained at 140 and seem to still win fights (and bustin Pauli's orbital bone)


At the end of the day, the majority of people saying Oscar was drained and couldn't fight were the same ones who said Pac was getting KO'd.

Some people I guess don't know the meaning of humility and acceptance (smh...)

What I don't get is Pacman got a tiny share versus ODL, like 20% I heard, when he was already p4p #1.

Because Oscar was the bigger DRAW and a very HUGE favorite to win the fight while Hatton isn't. Hatton vs. Malignaggi draws on less than 200k ppv buys.

But I still wanna see this fight though. Lets get it on.

Hatton vs Bradley would be a total waste of time in the long term, Sky Box office might shift a few PPV's but the americans wouldnt touch it on PPV, then Mayweather might take the pac fight before Hatton, and if mayweather wins that fight (he should), then Hatton really doesnt have anywhere to go, unless he wants to lose to floyd again.

exactly. pacman has more options, which = leverage.

question is, who is hatton's other "big name opponent" ?

[Dave Rado]

Didn't Pac actually verbally agree to 50/50 to Arum some time ago too, then later change his mind post ODL?

I heard and read that on here for one a few times.

That's what Arum says, Pac denies it. But regardless of who is lying, Pac should communicate properly with his own promoter, so I blame Pac for not doing so.

[hammerhiem]

Let me ask you, and dont get all personal and do all the name calling nonsense. Lets talk boxing, How can you discredit Pac's dominate performances over two bigger guys Diaz and Delahoya. This was a featherweight who dominated two bigger fighters and that shot to hell excuse for Delahoya is nonsense. Pac was too fast and small for Delahoya and remember, even though Delahoya didnt come in larger he was supposedly the fighter who has been in there with the best.

Depends on what you consider discredit.

Pacman gets credit for beating Diaz, no much because Diaz is crap, Would Hatton get credit for beating Roberto Garcia at WW?

ODLH was shot, you don't get credit for beating shot fighters.

it's on the same level as Tyson - Lewis, RJJ - Calzaghe, or even Hatton Castillio.

Anyone looking at that fight would know ODLH was shot, in the Mayweather fight he threw more powershots per round then he did in the entire fight against Pac-man.

It gets me how people discredit that accomplishment acting like it was no big deal when we all know something of that feat will not be duplicated in a LONG while or maybe never again, skipping 140 and going to 147 when earlier he fought at 130.

Anyways, you should leave that pic up of Hatton vs. Floyd with Cortez, its hilarious.

Thats it, so i dont understand where all these ****ing threads are coming from,
the fight is still likely to happen and this is just likely to hardball from both camps, if people wanna go on and on about who the **** gets this for that, fine.

But i dont wanna see **** about Hatton having all these other options, when people start talking about timothy bradley instead of pacman, you know its getting desperate.

Hatton can earn a fortune spending the rest of his career cleaning out his division and retire unbeaten at 140lb, which would give him a great legacy as an all time great at that one weight. Plus he certainly does want to fight Mayweather again, but preferably at 140lb; and Mayweather Snr has implied that he'd be willing to train Hatton for that fight, which would make it a huge seller.
