    Verbal agreements don't mean much. It's my understanding that Arum negotiated behind Pacquiao's back anyway?

      You bring it all down to money? Hatton is a rich man. He doesn't need more money. What he needs to do is work on his legacy, because when he stepped up and tried doing this before, he got badly outclassed, then knocked out.

      Sure, he can make lots of money and keep his fans happy by fighting a few more average fighters before retiring and becoming fat full-time, but this is a man who appears desperate to be considered P4P #1. Somehow, he seems to be under the illusion that, by beating Pacquiao, he'll become "the man", but it doesn't work like that. Hatton will never be P4P #1, and you can bank on it. But regardless, he needs to work on his legacy. Fighting anyone you can think of at 140, be it Judah, Witter, anyone, won't do anything except pay for a few more cars and a few more houses. So this is why I disagree with you when you say he doesn't need Pacquiao. Yes he does.

      Pacquiao doesn't need Hatton. Ricky should seize the opportunity to work on becoming great. This isn't about money. He hasn't "been there and done that". He tried and failed pretty badly.
      Nobody cares about legacy and history. It is about money.
      Legacy and history don't keep you rich money does.
      Pac and Hatton want to get maximum money.
      That's why they negotiate.

      Boxers box at this level for maximum financial gain. Everything else is just icing.

          Hatto needs Pac more than Pac needs Hatto.

          Pac has so may more options.

          I just do't understand why Hatton is still running away from Witter...

          He should face Witter, then Bradley, then he will have a better chance of getting 50/50 against someone like Pac

            Ask almost any top pro.

            They will be honest with you.

            It's rare to find a guy who fights for legacy.

            First and foremost is maximum dollars.

              Hatton might as well keep fighting the Malignaggi's and Lazcano's then. Nice, safe fights he can win and make enough money to keep him rich.

                Nah, he figures Pac is his best financial option out there, and it is.
                Pac fight makes him richer than those thus the heated negotiations.


                Fans have this warped idea that legacy and such matters, but first it's always dollars.

                  Kessler should stay in Denmark, too.

                    If he makes more in denmark he would.

                    Why do you think all those european fighters fight in Germany?

                    It's because there is maximum money there. They pay very well.

                    They travel where the best money lies. No other reason.

                      Calzaghe's biggest mistake? Stepping outside of Wales.
