€40million. I think he's alright

They have no way of knowing what his net worth is. The only publicly available information is the purses that are announced, of which he would get less than half after fees and taxes. Most promoters dont announce the fees or the other details. Then there is no way to know how much he has spent. He hasnt fought in years and there is no way to know the financial status of his own promotion company because its not publicly traded and not required to disclose anything.

TLDR - those websites estimating networth are useless.

Hatton jus seems frustrated & still depressed. MMA vs Boxing is/was a novel idea, its two combat sports that both employ punching. Its not like punching isn't/wasn't used to knock out opponents in an MMA cage, its simply understood that in MMA punching is used faaar less. The fact that Mayweather/McGreggor did so well is a testament to the fact that fans anticipate being inspired & surprised by top notch athletes daring to do the unthinkable.

Of course the "personal" hatred & liking of each of the guys played a part in viewership, as well as the racial overtones that plague society. Us boxing fans knew practically any pro boxer would wipe the floor with Connor, but if Connor seriously didn't believe that could happen, being the 1st inspired athlete to simultaneously hold 2 MMA belts in the sport, then who had the right to stop what could be historical?

Lets not get it twisted, Gettin' MONEY was the main objective! But also seeing a GREAT ATHLETE such as Mayweather in his LAST hoorah against an outstanding athlete in his twenties was also very intriguing and a CAN'T MISS!.....The athlete in Mayweather is amazing!, the other crass things in his personal life - not so much....his personal life happens to be on display, doesnt mean the fans watching don't have similar personal issues.

I would have had Connor come in there with his signature MMA trunks, his cool crazy choice of haircut and barefoot if he wanted to......to kind of give it a Marvel vs DC kind of vibe (lol)......Nevertheless, the event turned out to be a SMASHING SUCCESS regardless what Hatton or all "know it alls" felt about it! Mayweather ADDED to the sport of boxing by faaar, he certainly didn't detract from it. And it certainly doesnt mean a future MMA star can't prepare & test himself in different territory......maybe even bobsleading or ballet!

I agree and suspected those sites for a while.

Nonsense!!! Ask old Ricky Hatton if he would fight McGregor for 100mil.lol.

Exactly, no boxer would turn it down, cant blame the fighters its the gullible fans that made it happen, money controls the world and always will.

Hatton forgot that prizefighters fight for the PRIZE. Any fighter offered a 9-figure payday is going to take it, and would justify it regardless of how ridiculous it is.

Regardless, the idea that Hatton is jealous because of money is ******ed.

Hatton likes to mention Kostya Tszyu like he beat him fair & square. He didn't. He tore into Tszyu like a worldwind, jumping on him with pure grappling & clinching. If the ref had the wherewithal to take a stand against the brazen ****, Hatton would have most likely lost. He tried to use that same MMA roughhousing crap on Mayweather, but Mayweather constantly pushed him off unfazed! If anything, its Hatton who's the one that introduced MMA fighting to boxing with the blatant grappling **** against Tszyu. That did more to tarnish boxing than Mayweather/Mcgregor ever could.......I totally lost respect for any "skills" he or the media tried to conjur up for him after the ****......and was not surprised when May & Pac wiped the floor with him......

two words: check hook.

STFU cokehead Ricky. how many goat herders making their pro debuts did Chavez fight in his career?

and money aside the fight was actually exciting. and all the fighters speaking down on it would all sign a contract to fight Conor.

lolololol

[Barristan]

shouldn't this fat bum be in pub somewhere?

who cares what this cokehead thinks?

[Boxing Goat]

Depression dumbass. He became an drunk coke head after that fight. He was never the same. In this article i think he’s really just upset what happened to his career it has nothing to do with belts and mma vs boxing.

Whatever. You just wanted a poke at Hatton because you're a thick c@nt. Stfu idiot
