Hatton Ready To Accept Another Fight, Drop Pacquiao

[Dave Rado]

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.

DLH was a huge favourite, but I wasn't sure, because Roach was saying DLH didn't have it any more, and I have a lot of respect for Roach, and Valero was saying that DLH was awful in sparring, and I didn't see why Valero should lie. So if I'd had to bet I'd have narrowly backed DLH, but only narrowly, and I wasn't that surprised that Pac won easily.

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.

pac can sell fights on his own Hatton only sold 200,000 buys in the U.k against malignaggi. Hatton v mayweather was a million, which suggests he needs a name fighter to push numbers.Hatton needs pac more than pac needs Hatton. I think what pac is offering is fair.

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.

*sigh...

Hatton would make more money fighting Giuseppe ****ing Lauri than Pacman would figting Cotto, I am tired of explaining the ammount of tickets & PPV Ricky shifts, These small opponents you talk about for Hatton are worth more $$ in total fight income than Pac-mans second biggest fight.

1,400,000 at 4am Vs PBF, 700k Vs Lazcano coming off a loss, 900k+ at 4am Vs Malinaggi.

It was 1.4million for PBF, 970k Vs malinaggi both at 4am.

Ricky has never sold less than 500k PPV on sky Digital.

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.

The shot thing im still not buying and thats me. Why you ask, when the DLH vs. Pac buzz was out, ive been to pretty much every boxing site, read articles, went to forums, listen to expert analysis, and maybe 10% of them were giving Pac a chance. None of them were saying DLH was a shot fighter at all. Ring Magazine has a few analysis on that fight and like 2 of 20 gave Pac a chance.

DLH advantages
1. Bigger (which he gave up, not coming in higher)
2. Taller (He still was)
3. Longer Reach (was still there)
4. Been in there with the best (Mosely, Vargas, Hopkins, list goes on)
5. Hits harder
All everyone would hear is, "A good big guy always beats a good little guy"

The only thing he gave up was his weight which he look fine at the weight in, smiling and happy. I know cause I was there.

So that shot DLH excuse is nonsense,
plus Pac was the SMALLER lightweight fighter moving 2 classes up.

RJJ and Joe were the same weight class as with the other examples.

That accomplishment dosent come around very often.

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.

But would Mayweather want to fight Hatton again, really? Cos when the hatton camp tried to use mayweather's name as leverage for the pac negationations, maywewather's people called team hatton flat out liars and said mayweather hasnt sounded out Team hatton about diddly jack ****. From that, I assume Hatton isnt the highest name on team mayweather's list.

Here are Ricky Hatton's big fight options.

1) Take the lower end of the split against the P4P no1
2) Get hammered by floyd mayweather in a fight which would hurt his commercial status greatly, cos if mayweather hurts him again, the demand for hatton pacquiao would diminish greatly.

No one was saying Tyson, RJJ, or Castillio where shot either but your eyes tell you differently when they are in the ring.

1) Who the **** spoke about pac vs Cotto? I didnt.

2) I dont give a **** how many tickets ricky can shift, or even if you stood out outside the MEN arena, in a ricky hatton t-shirt selling them yourself.

Where are these other big fight options Ricky has? other than Mayweather 2, I cant think of many fighters other than de la hoya that he could make more money with, than he would with Pacquaio.

I don't give F*** about how many "option Pac-man has either, i just him to stop being a greedy **** and sign the ****ing contract agreed by his manager, backed by his adviser and the best ****ing deal he has ever been offered!
