Hatton: "Pressure is off!", Graham: "Ricky's still the best!"

Show me the many links to "many times". The "outpricing" refers only to the recent offer to fight in November. The exact time that Hatton was expecing to be in court with Warren. Wrestle? They were both as much to blame. And why would Hatton want to fight in a country where they allow Floyd to constantly lead with his forearm and elbow and penalise his opponents for hitting him when he keeps turnng his back, for chump change? $13m would seem about right in those circumstances. It wouldn't surprise me if Floyd had his buddy Nady built into the contract too.
Collazo was forced onto him by HBO and was a much more creditworthy move up to 147 than Floyd's cowardly entry against a shot LWW. Urango would be a decent, exciting fight and I'm sure you're also aware that the Castillo fight seems like a certainty. That would result in an infinitely more impressive 2 years than Floyd's had.
Hatton doesn't like Floyd so he's never going to bend over backwards to meet him on his terms.
Hatton pricing himself out is a fact. They've admitted it many times in interviews. It's no secret...
After seeing what Hatton did to Tsyzu in the UK (wrestle), I'm not surprised Floyd didn't want to go there...
How are fights with little known Collazo and Urango building his profile in the US? He could really build his fanbase here with a big fight... maybe with some guy named Mayweather...Last edited by Cletus Funk; 11-12-2006, 05:14 AM.Comment

Can you explain to me what weaknesses hatton could possibly have seen in tszyu when he beat the **** out of shrmba mitchell??No his plan is to prey on crappy title holders like Juan Urango (and don't anyone dare bring up Mayweather's paper titles becaue Zab Judah and Arturo Gatti are like Sugar Ray Robinson and Jake LaMotta compared to Urango) until Mayweather shows weakness (like Tsyzu) then try to beat him. Unfortunately I don't think that the fight will ever come off b/c if things play out like they should, Floyd is going up to 154 and Hatton is staying at 140. If Hatton doesn't like fighting at 147 then clearly the fight isn't going to happen.Comment

Hatton is the one trying to build his profile in the US, right? Then why the **** is he coming over here if he's trying to negotiate a Floyd fight in the UK? If he just wants to fight in the UK, then Hatton needs to stay there. No one gives a **** about him here. The Collazo fight was partially empty even with 5000 UK fans making the trip to Boston. Don't talk about trying to build yourself up in the US when you want to fight the biggest fight out there in your own backyard. No matter where Floyd fights in the US, he doesn't have the type of fan support and bias that Ricky receives in Manchester...Show me the many links to "many times".

Floyd fought Sharmba Mitchell, a man that Hatton was scared to fight when Sharmba was the interim champion during Tsyzu's injury...
I'm glad you think a fight with Castillo is a big step up for Hatton. Honestly, that's just Floyd leftovers...
Floyd doesn't need Hatton. Floyd is the one who's beating multiple former champions. Floyd is the one who has won titles in four division. Floyd is considered #1 P4P in the sport. Floyd is the one about to sign a fight with DLH. Floyd just doesn't need Hatton and if he wants to request 3 times the money he's ever made in order to make a Floyd fight happen, why should we expect Floyd to bend over backwards for him?Comment

Every fighter has someone that takes care of their business. Those people represent the fighter. If Ricky disagrees with what his people are doing, he should dump them. But since he hasn't, you have to think he wants the 13 million to make the fight happen. If Ricky really wanted, you don't think he would tell his people to negotiate or lower their demands. He simply doesn't want it. If Floyd said OK to 13 million, Hatton would ask for 20 million...Comment

When and if your boy fights Oscar, THEN he can talk honestly about SLAVE wages, because trust me Oscar can afford to give the peasant chicken corn money. Because like Hatton, Oscar doesn't like or need that muppet.Hatton is the one trying to build his profile in the US, right?

Man , you're ****ing delusional. It was Floyd who offered to fight in the UK for £6m.
Do you really want to get into attendance figures after Floyd's last fight, or any of his fights for that matter? LMAO. Hatton sold out 20k for the Tszyu fight within 2 hours.
Hatton scared of Mitchell, the guy who sc****d by Vince Phillips 6 months before Hatton destroyed him? You're showing yourself up.
Castillo, leftovers? Exactly how ****** are you? Do you really need me to go through Floyd's opponents to show you how ridiculous that statement was?
Hatton doesn't need Floyd more like. The guy becomes more of an emabarrassment every day. Hatton's a bigger draw than Floyd will ever be.
