Floyd Mayweather Vs Oscar de la Hoya!!

[AdamM]

but to be fair, Tsyzu said Hatton was his toughest ever opponent.

The figure came from an interview with Hatton on boxingtalk.com I believe. Lots of different sites keep referring to it. Mayweather has expressed his interest in the Hatton fight in the past. If he can get 5mill for Judah then no doubt he would get enough to fight Hatton. It doesn't matter that they are on different networks unless Hatton had a deal with a rival network, like Showtime.. but he didn't.

Hatton's next fight will be his 3rd on HBO  and if they truly wanted the fight, it would have been made by now, or atleast negotiated. If Ricky wanted any part of Mayweather, he wouldn't be moving back down to 140 now would he. His camp has actually said they want a fight with Castillo at 140 next year. Which would be a great fight, even though Castillo is a lightweight (but struggles to make weight)

Did you watch Gatti-Baldomir earlier this year? I can remember Billy Graham (Hattons trainer) being absolutely gutted with the result as they wanted a "superfight" with Gatti instead.

The most Hatton has ever got from a fight is under £2million.  He wouldn't turn down $13million, in fact he'd fight Mayweather for far less.

I didn't say Hatton turned down 13 million. I said that's what his camp wanted for a fight with Mayweatheror and that would be pricing themselves out. Mayweather is only getting 10million for fighting Oscar De La Hoya. Actually the only guy in boxing right now that could get 13million or more is still Oscar and that's including heavyweights.

Also Fight Academy claimed that Hatton got £3.5mill for fighting Collazo so I don't know where your figure of only £2mill came from.

I'll dig out the quotes that argue against that.  It sounds like the usual boxing/promotion nonsense of one side saying one thing and the other saying another.  The truth is probably something very different.

Thought it was £1.75million - just under $3.5million.

Argue against what exactly? I don't make this shit up lol. Hatton got $6.5 for Collazo

[totalise]
