Hatton's Pockets Hurt From Gatti Loss

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It was reported by the BBC, that undefeated WBA welterweight champion Ricky Hatton is feeling a sharp blow to his pockets after witnessing the nine round destruction of Arturo Gatti at the hands of WBC welterweight champion Carlos Baldomir. [details]

They can still fight, and make a hell of a fight and still make lots of money.

thats to bad, i really wanted to see that fight. i agree ferocity, a lot of money is to be made with that fight. i seriosly think that graham is under-estimating the fans interest in that fan. anyone who enjoys boxing would watch that fight.

Maybe he'll realize this and come around soon. i hope he comes around quickly, before baldy signs a deal with mayweather or somebody else!!!

even w/Gatti's loss last night they could still put this fight together if they really want to....kinda like when Judah still fought Mayweather after Baldy beat him.....

Gatti/Hatton would have been so fun to watch.

[kedashy]

yea but , hatton is not going for the money , no he wants to fight for a belt a real belt... and if he takes this fight whith baldi than he,s going to get exposed as well just look what gatti face looked like after 4 rounds and hatton is know for cutting up easy...

[psychopath]

Hatton's trainer Billy Graham told the BBC that a fight with Gatti would have been a huge money maker in America, but it is not likely that Hatton will target Baldomir as the fighter from Argentina does make financial sense when there are other big fights within the division that could make them a lot more money.

"That's just cost me an absolute fortune".

That statement is dumb, totally dumb. That is an open admission that Hatton and his camp are just chosing fights which they think they can win. They are not taking real risks.

Well, where can you catch a fish but by it's mouth.

I'd rather see Cotto/Hatton, that would be a very competitive fight

Hatton should fight Baldy since the belt he has really belongs to him (when Baldy beat Judah, Zab had all three belts and the IBF and WBA decided they didn't want Baldy as their champion. If Ricky fights Baldy it will be to prove he deserves that paper belt he has around his waist but Hatton is too chicken **** to do so.
