Mayweather : "all this **** has to do is sign a contract ASAP and that's his ***."

Regarding Hatton's post-fight talk.

This was on a site that talks about boxing.

[PowerPuncher]

Is this the first time Mayweathers mentioned a none Delahoya rematch

Can it still be for Mayweathers 147lb WBC belt or does it have to be for his 154lb WBC belt?

Not sure...I gotta say, though, I appreciate Mayweather's moxie on this one.

Let's hope it's not killed on the negotiating table.

[Thread Stealer]

[Lampley]

I wonder what Floyd's contract offer would look like. 80/20? Floyd will not make a reasonable offer, that's for sure. If this fight were to come off, I'd vote for it to happen in England. It would be PbF/ODLH all over again, although I guess HBO PPV would not go for that choice of venue.

[Cookie]

I believe Mayweather would definitely take the fight, but he's going to have to realise what's acceptable and what isn't. If he's going to be looking for $10million or more then it'll be a problem.

[justaboxingfan]

Oh I wish this fight happens. I think Hatton is made for Mayweather and I see this fight as being up their with the Gatti and Castillo fight. You have to remember, Floyd fights best when his opponent comes at him

[PH|LLA]

It would be a great fight but they'll have a hard time agreeing on a weight and a purse split.

Definately a fight that will cement Mayweather's claims as p4p number 1 if he can win it convincingly

[Dennis]

I hope it happens @ 140 lbs for Hatton's WBC and IBO belt. Beating Hatton at a higher weight would give the haters a shot at open goal. At 140 Hatton has a chance of winning.

This fight would be easy for Mayweather, why wouldn't he pick up another easy payday. Hatton is tailor-made for PBF

[Titan1]

Does he still hold both belts at once? I didn't think they could do that.

[PowerPuncher]

He sould have a choice of belts

[errsta]

Problem is the best mayweather would get for this fight is 60/40...

And that would be if Hatton concedes that. Both fighters will feel they are the draw and that will make for bumpy negotiations.

[hahahax]

Hatton would have his biggest payday ever at 40-60.

But hey, let's put 5$ Hatton wants none with mayweather and will price himself out and ask for 50-50.

[justaboxingfan]

If I was Floyd I'd go with 60/40 for the winner. I think thats fair plus a PPV cut.

[JETSKI]

If I was Hatton, I'd fight Joy Jr. for free, just for the pleasure of breaking some of his ribs.

[hahahax]

Do you honestly believe Floyd would offer 60/40? I don't. I think Hatton would be crazy not to sign for 60/40, but Floyd surely wouldn't offer that? Thats not a criticism, Floyd is top of the tree, and I have previously stated he will beat Hatton. Floyd's problem post Oscar is however, that all the credible fights left for him are impossible to make at the %level he probably feels he can ask for.

Prolly not... we'll see.

Thing is Hatton can prolly make a lot of money fighting a scrub instead of getting a 40-60 split vs floyd.

Floyd can prolly make a lot of money fighting a scrub at 80-20 split rather than hatton.

Gay.

[Mrboogie23]

I'll be absolutely shocked if this fight happens. I just dont think it'll ever come about.

That doesnt mean I dont want it to happen, but sadly I doubt it will. If by some miracle it does, then like I've always said, it'll be a tough scrap for Mayweather but he'll take it by decision. The first few rounds will be hard fought but he'll pull away after the 4th.

[kirk]

how is hatton MADE for mayweather? LOL!!!

the way to fight mayweather is to smother him... not let him breath.

people that think that gatti, corrales, or anyone but castillo did any form of that need to watch the fights again.

gatti didnt even throw punches, and is not even CLOSE to hattons level.

corrales followed mayweather around the ring, not doing much but missing with his arch punches.... and getting dropped.

hatton will fight mayweather castillo style... but a bit rougher...

i just dont see the fight happening though... it would be too good to be true.

[Pimp C]

He'll counter punch Hatton coming in and box circles around his ass. PBF by wide UD or TKO.:deal

[Dennis]

I agree entirely, and this is the biggest problem with the whole Cotto/Hatton/Floyd triangle. Could be wrong but Cotto might be the most willing to negotiate with a long term view...

I think Cotto is gonna fight the winner of Margarito/Williams..Cotto/Hatton is a mismatch at 147 lbs, and I don't think Cotto would go back to 140. They both know it.

[JoeyP]

I don't think this fight will ever come off as well--too many weight and money issues. Even though I dislike both fighters, I would pull for Hatton and hope to see PBF with some busted up ribs.

[hitman_hatton1]

it's time to get hatton vs floyd made now.

time for floyd to see if he can hack some real pressure.

and not just 8 rds of it like he got with oscar. :bbb

[C Money]

60/40 in favor of PBF would be FAIR.


To all those talking about Floyd's money? IT'S HIS LEGACY thats more important at this point. Dude has all the fucking MONEY one needs and stands to make ridiculously LARGE amounts if he keeps fighting.


HATTON WILL REPRESENT ONE OF THE LARGEST PAYDAY'S AVAILABLE!!! So if Floyd's only motivation is $$$$$, then he wont do much better than he'll do with Hatton.

If Floyd's such a favorite??? This should BE EASY TO NEGOITIATE:good
Mr. Superior should be adding some of the respect he didnt CLAIM earlier:lol:

[Chiko_Tech]

I hope it happens @ 140 lbs for Hatton's WBC and IBO belt. Beating Hatton at a higher weight would give the haters a shot at open goal. At 140 Hatton has a chance of winning. You have to remeber that Floyd is a smalll man more smaller than Hatton and if Floyd go back down in weight will be far better than Floyd at welter and light middle.

[cuzzinelias]

how is hatton MADE for mayweather? LOL!!!

Hatton is an aggressive, come-forward fighter. Mayweather is best when he's on the back foot & countering. That's how Hatton is MADE for Mayweather, man.

the way to fight mayweather is to smother him... not let him breath.

gatti didnt even throw punches, and is not even CLOSE to hattons level.

Easier said than done. I'm sure Gatti's gameplan wasn't to stand there & look pretty while getting peppered with shots, in fact I'm pretty sure he originally intended on cutting off the ring & smothering him too, but it's hard to pull off against PBF.

i just dont see the fight happening though... it would be too good to be true.

I see it happening. Hatton made those comments about PBF for a reason, he wants to get him in the ring & will do so at any cost. Hatton is old school, he's not caught up in the whos-getting-thebigger-purse pissing matches.

Don't get me wrong, I think Hatton is a good little fighter, definately top dog at 140, but I don't see him touching any of the top welters, including Floyd (I think Cotto stands the best chance of beating PBF)

[boxbox]

I dont think this ones an easy fight for PBF...hatton is good at keeping his opponents close and he can certainly take shots while coming in...not sure about how PBF can take a body punch...hatton should accept whatever he is offered just to prove himself or he might as well stay where he is appreciated..

[Smith]

"all this punk has to do is sign a contract ASAP and that's his ***."

Aye, very good Mayweather, problem is no undisputed champ will sign a contract in favour of probably 80/20 to you! By sayng this he sounds like the big man, and yet more people will say Hattons ducking Floyd because he says this one thing! Mayweather has absolute no class! He is as stupid as they come

[hahahax]

Floyd is P4P #1... whats being undisputed champ?

Hatton should accepte 35% and above... 35% would be low, but still a good payday for him. If he does not accept 40% then he is clearly ducking.

[Shotgun]

Mayweather will price himself out of the fight, bank on it. Hatton's not going to take chump change like Baldomir, and Floyd thinks he's worth a lot more than he is as a box office draw

[sonny73]

Floyd is P4P #1... whats being undisputed champ?

Whose P4P number 1,Ring Magazines?...that title is meaningless its subjective and immeasurable.What counts is how much money you bring in terms of interest and sales.Whats the point of being American writers best fighter if no one wants to pay to watch you

[Dennis]

You have to remeber that Floyd is a smalll man more smaller than Hatton and if Floyd go back down in weight will be far better than Floyd at welter and light middle.

My opinion on it is that Floyd isn't necisarily better at 140 than at 147 and 154, because he can adapt so well to the weight and just uses different tactics. But he would probably fight a more active fight at 140, making it more interesting to watch AND giving Hatton the chance to fight at his best. The last being the most particular reason I'd like to see it at 140. Hatton is the smaller man, he's 5'6.

[Smith]

[sonny73]

The best and fairest way to work out who gets paid what would be to ask every guy who pays to watch who they want to get their $ then we would see the real moneymakers

[hahahax]

false, cuz all the guys who pay to see floyd lose would give their money to hatton. :)

[Jack]

If he's going to be looking for $10million or more then it'll be a problem.He wanted $30million right after he fought Gatti, so god knows what he will want as he obviously thinks he is a massive draw, post-De La Hoya.

We should guess what he's going to want. I'll stick my neck out on $261million.

He, by asking for so much money, is ducking Hatton.

[SkillsSoSmooth]

Lol that's the pretty boy for you :happy , i knew a quick reply would be out by today!!, and he hasn't been a coward about it like Ricky and talked about "excitment" either :lol: , it was clearly seen in the Collazo fight that Ricky can be outboxed and hurt, people talk about "how would Floyd cope with getting body punched and roughed up" but the real question is how on earth is Ricky gonna cope with Floyds skills?!!, with being counter punched and moved around the ring all night?, and when Floyd is relaxed he starts to really open up just like he did in the later rounds against Oscar and i don't think Ricky would have any answers to that. Ricky could try and rough up Floyd but we all saw what happened when Oscar was trying to rough him up on the ropes in the fifth round, Floyd stunned him with one punch and Oscar backed off and i don't see it being any different against a smaller man in Hatton.

[Thread Stealer]

The fight is overdue. If Mayweather doesn't fight Hatton or Mosley this fall/winter, I'll be p.o.'d.

I just hope they can come to terms.

[Brickhaus]

It was clear in the ODLH fight that Mayweather can easily be pressured! If Oscar had more in his tank he would have won!

Yeah, and if he could manage to hit something other than shoulders and elbows :lol:

[pit]

why in the hell would Floyd go all the way back to 140 to fight Hatton ?? if hatton wants the fight he will need to come to 147 or 154..

[maciek4]

Hatton by KO in the 3rd.

[Lampley]

I would consider 60/40 Floyd to be entirely fair. Hell, 65/35 is worth considering, if Hatton truly believes he can win. But I suspect Floyd will toss out 80/20, maybe 75/25, and his ego is too large to negotiate and compromise. The only person who could dictate terms to him is Oscar, and he's obviously a different breed in terms of celebrity from Hatton and everyone else.

But this fight wouldn't be all that interesting to me, unless Floyd came all the way down to 140. At 147, I don't see why people are so optimistic about Hatton's chances. Have we forgotten the Collazo fight already?

At 147, I think the reach and volume punching of Paul Williams actually might trouble Floyd a bit more, although the only person I'd give a really strong shot to beat him right now would be Cotto.

[1-Ton]

Have we forgotten that Hatton beat Collazo. Granted it wasn't the best he has ever looked, but it's crazy that people talk about this fight as if he lost! Collazo was a title holder, and is a southpaw, and an all around tough fighter, yet Hatton detractors point to this fight as if Hatton should have just kicked his ass. Furthermore, Hatton fought once at 147.....ONCE! So, obviously he can't compete at that weight? Balderdash!

[Thread Stealer]

Floyd won't be willing to go back down to 140. He hasn't fought there in 2 years, and he just moved up another weight class to fight Oscar as well as gave up the concessions on gloves and all that. I'm guessing Floyd is thinking "why should I have to make concessions for this guy?"

The fight will probably be @147 if it takes place.

[Smith]

Yes, Hatton got the decision over Collazo, but the decision easily could have gone the other way. Worse, Ricky finished weakly, and his vaunted strength and conditioning appeared diminished at 147. I agree that Collazo is a good, tough fighter, but he's nowhere close to Mayweather. I'm not saying Hatton should have blasted Collazo out of there early, but the fact that limped to the finish line and could have lost does cast some doubt.

At the minimum, compare his work over the past two years against that of Miguel Cotto -- keeping in mind various weights -- and I think you'll understand why I believe Cotto would present the greater challenge to Floyd.

And though I rate Hatton more highly PfP than Williams, I think Paul has some physical advantages over Floyd that Hatton doesn't have, especially if Williams were to face Floyd at 154.

I'm really not trying to down a Mayweather/Hatton fight -- it's better than nothing -- but to me it isn't the best option for Floyd.

[Thread Stealer]

Hatton will have more time to prepare for the move up in weight if he fights Mayweather than he did when he fought Collazo.

That was relatively short-notice b/c Hatton wasn't sure who he was fighting, and then HBO rejected Lazcano.

I think he'll be better physically @ 147 if he fights Floyd than he was versus Collazo due to having more time to prepare for the jump.

Didn't Mayweather do a similar thing in squeeking a win against DeLaHoya whilst having many many weeks to put the weight on and the luxury of him not being a southpaw.

:happy :happy :happy :deal

[digiram]

Shut up you fucking dork! Are you going to rip into Mayweather for fighting Oscar at 34? No? Well shut your face you dizzy looking prick!

Hatton would fight Mayweather at the drop of a dime and despite the fact that I think he'll lose, it shows he has balls. Cotto at a catchweight of say 144lbs is a 50/50 fight.

P.S - You're a fuckin idiot and you sis sucks a mean dick!

I'm not trying to defend the previous post cuz I thought the Castillo KO was a great win for Hatton. However, ODLH is a bigger 34 yr old that's more accomplished p4p than Castillo. If Hatton had beaten a 35 year old Mosely at 147, then you can compare.

[Lampley]

Didn't Mayweather do a similar thing in squeeking a win against DeLaHoya whilst having many many weeks to put the weight on and the luxury of him not being a southpaw.

I don't know what point you're trying to make. First, Floyd fought Oscar at 154, and this most likely would be back down at 147. And Floyd took over in the second half of that fight, thanks to his always-superb conditioning. It was very much unlike Hatton's fight against Collazo, when he was badly hurt and faded fast in the late rounds.

I agree that Ricky should do better with more time to prepare, but there's nothing he can do to change his body type, which is much better suited for the lower weight. He thrives on his ability to maul and muscle, and obviously he won't be able to do that as much at higher weights. Of course, that's really more of an issue with Cotto, not Floyd, who won't be in position to muscle in the first place.

What troubles me about Hatton/Collazo is that Ricky's power and chin appeared significantly worse. As much as we like Collazo as a boxer, he is not a hitter. On the other hand, Collazo can take a punch, and maybe a better conditioned Hatton would not get hurt as easily next time around. Then again, this is another issue that would play more into a bout against Cotto, rather than Mayweather.

Against Floyd, it's an issue of whether Ricky can pin him in place, and I don't think that his reach, crude approach and stature will give Mayweather much trouble. I've been wrong before, but to me the bigger, stronger Cotto is the far superior fight for Floyd.

Mayweather can demand higher pay he has done better in his career, so if Hatton really wants this fight that bad, Ricky is going to have to accept that it comes on Floyds terms, lets hope Hatton and Floyd agree to fight, I would love to see him take out that English Muffin.

This probablly wont happen. After Hatton beat a non shot fighter in Tszyu Floyd offered him a fight TWICE and Hattons Daddy said he wasnt ready. Now that Floyd has said hes retired and only wants to fight DLH agian Hatton decides to talk alittle shit. Once Floyds ass kisser Leonard Ellerbe calls over to England I bet Hatton lets his machine pick it up and then claim they never called.

[Olu G. Rotimi]

PBF will retire Hatton should Hatton ever be brave enough to sign the contract which he won't do. He will ask for £13 million and price himself out again. What Team Hatton mean is we don't fancy it thank you but cannot say so directly.

If he taught Collazo and Magee were tough fights boy he will recieve the kind of ass kicking Hagler gave Tony Sibson many years ago.

[jimmie]

Thats a good win but Sibson was a noboddy.

[Jack]

Why should Floyd expect something as ridiculous as 75/25? Hatton could make far more money than he could. Hatton may not be a huge draw in america, but if he fights over here, he is going to sell out Wembley. Absolutely no doubt about it. Hatton is incredibly popular over here right now, and is the most covered boxer I've ever seen. TV reports every day of the week for nearly 2 weeks now, massive amounts of newspaper coverage and a lot of guest appearances on shows which attract millions if viewers.

If this fight is going to draw big money, it needs to be in Britain and if it does, Hatton should get the most money from it.

Sadly, because the fight won't bring in a lot of money at the gate in America, Floyd will want too much. Like before, he won't fight in the UK unless he gets an insane amount of money, so that's very unlikely too.

Mayweather's greed is stoppig this fight from happening. Again.

Whose P4P number 1,Ring Magazines?...that title is meaningless its subjective and immeasurable.What counts is how much money you bring in terms of interest and sales.Whats the point of being American writers best fighter if no one wants to pay to watch you

Who wants to pay to watch Hatton grab and hold all the time? NOBODY

[sonny73]

PBF will retire Hatton should Hatton ever be brave enough to sign the contract which he won't do. He will ask for £13 million and price himself out again. What Team Hatton mean is we don't fancy it thank you but cannot say so directly.

If he taught Collazo and Magee were tough fights boy he will recieve the kind of ass kicking Hagler gave Tony Sibson many years ago.
People have short memories.....Mayweather was on the same level as both Tszyu and Hatton before the Gatti fight then after that embarressment by Gatti Mayweather inherits some sort of god like status among some American fight fans,Gatti looked shite against Baldomir aswel.Mayweather looked average against Judah in the first half of the fight,he also was losing the first half of the DeLaHoya fight until both guys just gassed.Mayweather if over hyped and is not this unbeatable boxer like some people believe,far from it.Hatton would be better conditioned than Mayweather if they ever fought which means Mayweather would have to dig deep to beat Hatton something I have yet to see Mayweather do.

[Scar]

If this fight happens then it's either at Light Middleweight or Welterweight. Will Hatton accept that?, of course not. If Hatton found Collazo difficult at 147 then Mayweather will slaughter him.

[markbrooklyn]

Hatton by KO in the 3rd.

WTF are you smoking? Cause you need to pass it here.. Floyd by DOMINATION :good

[markbrooklyn]

Have we forgotten that Hatton beat Collazo. Granted it wasn't the best he has ever looked, but it's crazy that people talk about this fight as if he lost! Collazo was a title holder, and is a southpaw, and an all around tough fighter, yet Hatton detractors point to this fight as if Hatton should have just kicked his ass. Furthermore, Hatton fought once at 147.....ONCE! So, obviously he can't compete at that weight? Balderdash!

He didnt beat Collazo in the MAJORITY of fans eyes.. Collazo got robbed plain and simple. And yes he fought ONCE at 147 but he RAN back to 140.. He knows that if a feather fisted fighter like Collazo could have him on queer street then the other welters would tear him a new asshole.

That was the stupidest comment I've read on these boards.. NOBODY is better conditioned then Floyd Mayweather.. You never in your life seen floyd mayweather huffin and puffin or grabbing on for his life on his opponents.. go watch the Hatton vs Urango fight then come post another comment about Hatton being better conditioned :hi:

[coqui13one]

i think pbf would never give him the fight!to much of a risk.besides,i think he retired. because of the up in coming fighters like,hatton/cotto/margarito/and new comers like.chavez jr.any ways its a pretty good choice not to come back. because he retired as a champ in several weight classes. plus hes not getting any younger.but if it does happen?i got pbf on his motor cycle.hatton is to rough for pbf so i would say hatton if its held in england.and pbf if its held in the us.by bad scoring.

[Thread Stealer]

NOBODY better conditioned then Gayrunner? Go said that to Bernard Hopkins.

Hopkins and Mayweather have great stamina, but both of them are pretty selective with their punch output (especially Hopkins). Hopkins used to have a better workrate, but at his age, he has to pick his spots more.

I'm not saying Mayweather can't throw a lot and still be fresh late in the fight, that is unknown, but due to their styles, I'd say guys like Juan Diaz, Manny Pacquiao, and Kassim Ouma have the most proven stamina in boxing. They have to use a lot of energy, throwing a lot, moving a lot, and still I've seen them keep up the intense pace late in the fight.

[coqui13one]

Floyd KOs Cotto if they fight- Hatton will fight PBF at welter but I believe he would come into the fight scaling 144-145 . Don't be so sure Hatton won't beat Floyd!!!

cotto will make pbf more ugly than he already is.
who named him preety boy:!: muther f---er u look like ur pops fool:tired

[Ramshall1]

The only way this fights brings enough money for Fraud to get in the ring is if it were held in an outdoor stadium in England. . . and we all knoe Fraud aint got the balls to fight overseas.

[coqui13one]

Hatton will have more time to prepare for the move up in weight if he fights Mayweather than he did when he fought Collazo.

That was relatively short-notice b/c Hatton wasn't sure who he was fighting, and then HBO rejected Lazcano.

I think he'll be better physically @ 147 if he fights Floyd than he was versus Collazo due to having more time to prepare for the jump.

well said:thumbsup

[PowerPuncher]

5 times now is it lol...wheres the link??

His daddys mouth, pay attention

[josak]

I think Hatton can beat Mayweather. Castillo and ODLH certainly got close just by applying pressure. Now think of what Hatton does? He's also fast, he cuts the ring off well, and he knows how to rough his opponents up. I could see this fight going either way, but I think Hatton could pull it off, maybe even decisively.

[sonny73]

Sorry but your wrong Mayweather does not throw enough leather to be puffed out.Its something alot of American fighters suffer from,the inability to fight at a strong pace,its always stop and reset and start again with alot of the top American boxers.Maybe its something with your national sport being the same sort of stop start rhythm I don't know but its def a weakness of Mayweathers if you watch he has to set himself every 10 seconds or so in a fight,almost as if he has learnt boxing by numbers,he reminds me of Kessler aswel with his inability to fight at all inside.

yeah i agree, hatton has got the style to beat him.

never decisively...its a 12 rd fight..aint no way one of the greatest fighters of all time is gonna be beaten decisively. trust me.

[coqui13one]

Fraud will price himself out.

couldent have said it better myself:good what i realy wanna see is ubf against my boy cotto!bitch.yea his the pound for pound shit talker. well if hes the best? he shouldent have a problem fighting any contender.he has enough money allready.he still has some years left in him.show us ur a warrior and fight the rest of the best.and stop using money as an excuse.:bart no more whooo whooo whooo.and let the people who pays for these fights. see some action!not gums

[TanstA]

"Everybody knows I'm the crem de la crem, pound for pound the best in the world, hands down. If this chump wants a shot at the best, all his punk ass has to do is sign a contract ASAP and I'll show him what real body work is. Matter fact, I'll stop Ricky Hatton with a body shot."


:lol:

Fraud doesnt give two shiits for the fans of the sport or the sport itself. . . he's a scumbag and a coward - dont believe me just whisper the name "Margarito" in his ear and watch the piss flow over his shoes.

[Sugarshorts]

It requires a log-in when I try to read the whole thing.

me too!

[MagnificentMatt]

Regarding Hatton's post-fight talk.

This was on a site that talks about boxing.

Floyd cursing blatantly, isnt nearly as tight as Ricky saying "these 4 rounds were more exciting than Floyds whole career."

[Pimp C]

PBF will beat the brakes off of Ricky if he has the balls to sign the contract. He's been trashing and ducking PBF for years now its time for him to put up or shut up.

[C Money]

I still havent seen theFIGURES from this offer, so careful with the put up shut up talk. If its 80/20 Floyd he can go fuck himself:good
60/40 for Floyd?? If Hatton turned that DOWN, then YES you could start saying Hatton's ducking him.

The previous 2 offers??:lol: They were bullshit and put forth while Hatton was still under ****** and were MEANINGLESS. NOW, is a different situation and like I said 60/40 PBF and it should be a DONE DEAL.

This a a fight that should have happened and SHOULD STILL HAPPEN, lets hope Primadonna Boy comes correct.

[SkillsSoSmooth]

If he's such a "coward" why don't you drag your wack ass into the ring and see what happens?!! :lol: , no boxer is a "coward", Mayweather is the POUND FOR POUND best in the world and thus he calls the shots, if you don't like that then tough luck.

[psychopath]

Mayweather : "all this **** has to do is sign a contract ASAP and that's his ***."

Yeah yeah yeah fucki'n Floyd bitch. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I thought you are now retired? Can't you just shut your mouth and stay in the side line? :think

[MIK1000]

this fight would sell out wembley in a day and would be absalutely massive. its a better fight than floyd vs oscar coz its two of the best p4p going at it in their primes and are similar size. I hope floyd makes a reasonable offer coz realistically he knows hatton aint goanna take 80/20 or somethin.

It could go either way i can see hatton bein all over him like a rash not givin floyd space to work his magic or i could also imagine floyd pickin hatton off. So its a 50/50 fight, perfect clash of styles.

Id like to see hatton take a warm up at 147 to grow into welter in november/december then hopefully Hatton Floyd may 08.

Hopefully floyd will come down to 140 coz to be honest both guys were better at that weight.

[C Money]

So I guess i'm not the only one who doesn't think The DLH fight ruined Mayweather? Even though DLH provided the overwhelming profit for that fight, Floyd probably thinks he was just as responsible, and now after getting who knows how many millions, nothing will satisfy him.

Now he not only never needs a payday again in his life, but any other possible matchup like Hatton, Cotto, Margarito, and even Mosley can't compare with what he's already recieved and it's going to be a lot harder for him to take these fights now.

As for him fighting Hatton... don't bet on it. There is a low chance for a DLH rematch, and that's fine with me as the first fight answered enough, and if I were Mayweather and I was really not retiring, then next in my scope would be Mosley, who brings in the most money of anyone else right now. Floyd is all about the money, otherwise he wouldn't talk about retiring despite having only a partially done ATG career. He won't fight Hatton or Cotto until they become even bigger draws, and ironically they may need to fight somebody just like Mayweather himself to get there.

The winner of Hatton-Cotto to fight May weather would be something to see also.

Of Margarito (if he gets past paul williams), Mosley, Floyd, Hatton, and Cotto, you can match up any of them and have a great fight, and even with how political boxing is I doubt that -all- of these names can avoid each other much longer.

Hattons international fan base assures that he is one of the top opponents in terms of MONEY, which Floyd has said IS HIS ONLY MOTIVATING FACTOR ,so this fight seems MORE LIKELY to happen than any other.

Despite Floyd's misconception he's not a fighter with a huge/loyal fanbase. His fanbase will be CUT IN HALF with the first L. Hatton has a huge/loyal base and no matter where they fight, there's mad money to be had.

Plus?? Hatton's style and size will make this a realistic option. Floyds not interested in getting in the ring with much larger guy's like AM and Cotto has THE STYLE to KO Floyd, so it comes down to SSM and Hatton. Again HATTON IS THE BIGGEST PAYDAY, so we'll see what Supalips does/offers next!!

[Ramshall1]

Boxing is not my profession, It is Margarito's however and seeing how he is a worthy challenger and Fraud left money on the table to avoid him. . . Id say when it comes to AM, FMJ is a coward. . . if he's not then he should prove it - but we all know he has no intentions on backing up that big coward mouth of his.

No, a coward is a bitch who talks shit behind a computer screen and doesn't have the guts to say shit to Floyd's face, THAT'S A REAL "COWARD". it's so silly the way you keep going on about "margo" when Floyd went up a weight division to fight a man who's on a different level to Margo, that doesn't sound like a "coward" to me, the man simply has bigger fish to fry than your hero, that's all, your boy ducked Williams for ages too so it's been proved that if a fight is pushed hard enough it will happen, do you think your boy deserves a shot before Mosley and Cotto?, i don't think so, little Hatton might jump ahead of the queue because he ran his big mouth on live tv, something "big bad Margo" has never attempted from what i remember.

[Lance_Uppercut]

Don't you guys understand? Because Hatton said no YEARS AGO, that means the fight can never happen.

[MSTR]

It would be a great fight but they'll have a hard time agreeing on a weight and a purse split.

Definately a fight that will cement Mayweather's claims as p4p number 1 if he can win it convincingly
A win over Hatton would do more then that. It would cement his name as one of the greatest fighters of our generation.

[mancat]

hatton asked for $13 million. That's why the fight didn't happen.

[MSTR]

Guys once and for all. Mayweather never ducked Margarito. There were bigger fights to be made, and Marg presented a high risk and low reward in terms of legacy. He knew the chance of making the Oscar fight and wanting to do everything possible to ensure it went through.
