    Hatton not really willing to travel to fight Gatti/Mayweather winner...

    Despit his long answer, overall Hatton is not willing to fight the winner in the states. Floyd in a recent interview challenged Hatton to fight in NYC at MSG. Tonight Hatton just said that him and Kostya sold 22,000 tickets and a fight with Floyd or Gatti could be held in an outdoor stadium over in his side of the world and sell like 60,000 tickets. He mentioned Kostya being a champ and traveling to defend his title in the challenger's home country etc. But I don't think we will be seeing Hatton on this side for some time.

      The Millenium stadium holds 80,000 - it's based in Cardiff which is the capital of Wales (where Joe Cazalghe is from). Could you imagine a double-bill involving Cazalghe V Lacy and Hatton V Mayweather at the Millenium? - It would be awesome. **** NYC/MSG!

        **** that *****. The challenger should go to the chamo, not the other way around. He'll never get respect if he doesn't fight center stage in America. All the other great Europeans came here and fought, and are recognized for it. Right now, he's getting a lot at home for fights; if he came here and won, he'd make just as much, if not more than at home, with MUCH more exposure.

            Exactly. Hatton is the champ and PBF/Gatti would be the chanllenger. So I agree...They should go to England.

              Hatton saw flaws in Cotto, the whole interview he was making it clear that he liked Cottos style cause he seemed lazy or whatever, and probaly wont deal with pressure well, so that'd mean Cotto has to go to England? Only problem is all that holding Hatton does over there, but even when its over it could warrent a rematch, nice match up.

                    If the fight happens they need to get a fair ref, not like that prick in the Tzsu fight. The judges i thought were fair in their scoring in that fight so thats ok.
