Dela Hoya vs. Hatton can any fight make more money today?

I think this is the only fight that could capture both the States, and Brittain in a way that no other fight could... Brittain seems as big or close to as big of a market for boxing as the states as of late. I am sure just in the states this fight would have comparable PPV sales to Oscar vs. Trinidad however with Brittain also buying which would be huge for this fight, can any fight right now generate more money than this fight?

I dont think the relatively small population of the UK would really impact Oscar-Hatton matchup PPV sales to surpass even De La Hoya-Mayorga...so it wouldnt really be a $$$$ megafight until Hatton is a MUCH bigger name in the States than he is now!! Plus Ricky just switched to HBO, so it will take a good 2-3 fights in US for Ricky to get enough name recognition over here to make it a genuine $$$ megafight!!

HBO is projecting a $35 million total purse for Oscar-Floyd...there is no way Oscar-Hatton could come anywhere NEAR THAT any time soon!!

:P Next Year Maybe
