Does Khan leaving Warren mean we will see Hatton against Khan later this year?
With Khan having left Warren and Hatton just announcing his return next summer, I can see this being a likely matchup providing they both win their next fights. Maybe I am just reading between the lines too much, but it's interesting that Khan has left Warren who in Hattons words was an obstacle to the fight being made. Also Hatton and Khan will have the Goldenboy connection which will likely make negotiations somewhat easier.
Maybe Khan gets decked before then or Hatton goes a crash diet too far, but I think we are being lined up for this one towards the end of the year. It will make a fair bit of money domestically.

Nope, for the simple fact hatton wouldnt take this fight in a million years
Im sick and tired of us brits believing we can match the big american promotions and stick our 2 best guys together when theres much more money in hatton fighting someone hand picked by golden boy.
Re: Does Khan leaving Warren mean we will see Hatton against Khan later this year?
Yes it will happen, provided Hatton can get his weight down, look good in his first fight and wants to continue.

Hammer you seriously baffle me sometimes, how the fuck is there a bigger money fight out there for Hatton other than rematches with the two big boys???
Do you realise the Hatton v Pac only did around 300k PPV'S in the uk?? How many PPV'S do you think Khan v Hatton would do on sky easily north of a million, the Khan v Hatton fight would be fucking huge in terms of money, I think it all depends on how Hatton looks in his comeback fight if he does the biz this fight will defintly happen, if he doesnt look good I cant see if Amir is still improving.
Khan and Hatton are the two biggest known boxers this country since Eubank/Benn. They will both earn easily 15 million quid each from a fight between the two.
Re: Does Khan leaving Warren mean we will see Hatton against Khan later this year?
I think this is a good matchup. The chinny boy versus a fighter who has power but may be shot at this point of his career. It makes it interesting. It's a 50/50 fight imo. But let's see how Hatton does in his 1st fight back.
Re: Does Khan leaving Warren mean we will see Hatton against Khan later this year?
This fight is a possible now. It wasnt an option if Frank was Co-Promoting with Ray, that would never happen. But my stance has changed on this from 6 months ago. And the feeling I get from Rick is that this is a fight that we may well see later this year. Subject to both of their next performances. But even then,........ see Hopkins v Jones 2.
Re: Does Khan leaving Warren mean we will see Hatton against Khan later this year?
It would be a good swan song fight for Rick. But only if he won it.
I have alot of mixed feelings about Ricky fighting again. I really expected him to beat Paquiao.
All questions will be answered when he fights again.
Re: Does Khan leaving Warren mean we will see Hatton against Khan later this year?
I thought of this fight the moment i seen Ricky falling to tha canvas.
its the last one on his list that makes sense and one he will think he can win with ease.
Khan now replaces the uk chat and column inches that was once dominated by Ricky and i do belive stuff like that matters to him.
and added to that he would see it as an easy nights work.
as for Khan he will see himself as being too fast to deal with and think Ricky is overated or on the slide or both thus getting alot of credit if he beat him and he will think he can.
the only supprise i would get is if this fight didn't happen... but Ricky needs to act fast because if he dosn't khan will get beat again :)
Re: Does Khan leaving Warren mean we will see Hatton against Khan later this year?
As long as Hatton puts up a decent performance in his next fight who evr it is against then a fight with Khan is a definate.
Also another bad loss for Khan might prevent this fight happening.

Are you serious?? If there's anything to be sick and tired of it's Brit's like you who don't realize that Hatton is only a massive draw IN THE UK, especially at this point. He wouldn't stand to make anywhere near as much money fighting anyone who hasn't already knocked him senseless as he would fighting Khan. The "Big American promotions" which stand to make substantially more money than this fight basically have to involve Mayweather, Pacquiao, or De La hoya. Anyone else doesn't have a hope in hell of surpassing the money that Khan-Hatton would make, let alone representing a bigger payday for Hatton. You are completely dreaming if you don't realize this, it's an absolute fact.
Re: Does Khan leaving Warren mean we will see Hatton against Khan later this year?
Makes sense really. Both fighter's will see it as easy work. They will get a huge payday and we'll get to see another spectacular Hatton/ring post combination KO.
VD will be in heaven.
Re: Does Khan leaving Warren mean we will see Hatton against Khan later this year?
yeah I think this fight will happen. Not sure yet how it will go though. Have to wait to see how Ricky looks in his next fight.
Re: Does Khan leaving Warren mean we will see Hatton against Khan later this year?
They could both quite easily lose their next fights. Hatton would have to win his comeback fight and look like he has a little bit left too, he can't just scrape past some tomato can and expect to get people enthused about him fighting Khan.

Tell you what, if im wrong and ricky hatton and amir khan do fight i will forever change my username, sig, avatar etc to whatever you may like
Its the same old backwards shit again....
"Calzaghe should fight woods"
"hatton should fight witter"
"calzaghe should fight froch"
These fights dont get decided on who`s ranked where in the boxing world or where they were born. We live in a commercially dominated industry where the fights tha make both financial and realistic sense get made. The era of eubank-benn-watson is dead. The big fights of the 21st century more often than not take place in las vegas because thats where the true money is in world boxng not the MEN arena manchester.
If every single american promotion ditched hatton in some kind of mass protest then sure hatton-khan could happen. But read my words IT WONT

Your new name is Trigger.
You are totally clueless.
Hatton-Khan would fill a stadium. Hatton can sell out the MEN three times over fighting a complete nobody. Khan sells 10,000 tickets fighting complete nobodies. They are both "stars" outside boxing in Britain. They are both PPV fighters. The reason the days of Benn-Eubank are over, is because it's only once in a bluemoon two Brit stars happen at the same time.
The only reason Hatton said he wouldn't fight Khan before is Warren. He's out of the picture now, hence Hatton-Khan now entertaining the idea.

Pacquiao-mayweather could of filled the dallas cowboys stadium twice over. But it was still common knowledge that it would of been held in the 14,000 mgm grand...wonder why??
Indeed they are, one has sold close to a million PPV buys in america. The other has sold a few hundred thousand in the united kingdom. I really dont even have to explain what the difference is there.
Nobody more than me would wanna see that fight go down. But again IT WONT HAPPEN
ps:if im trigger then you sir are micky pearce ;D;D;D

Hammer mate your a decent bloke, but you come across quite clueless alot of the time, and quite suprising as you are one of Hatton's biggest fans.
Now let's have a look at the options to Hatton now, like I said earlier only bigger financial fights out there is Mayweather and Pacquiao for the simple reason they are the only two fights involving Hatton that would be on HBO PPV , any other fight will only be on normal HBO that's even if HBO are intrested in a Hatton fight at all, they were not intrested in the Lazcano fight, so depending on the opponent it will be either normal HBO or no HBO because he aint getting another shot at the two big boys in the near future.
So lets throw a few names out there Hammer that are bigger money fights then Khan?? You said earlier your run of the mill HBO/American fighter. So you think Hatton would get paid more fighting Marquez/urango/Bradley and similar foes than fight Khan how exactly???
Like I said earlier the Hatton/Pac fight flopped at the box office in the uk even though it was a hugggge fight only 300k ppv's now Hatton got a 49/51 split for that fight on the basis of his last megafight with Floyd getting 1.4 million buys at the box office, now if Arum and Pac new that in advance that the fight would only do 300k in the Uk, do you think they would of gave Hatton a 49% split?? not a fucking chance. Hatton without Khan is not really a big fight in box office terms he has been beaton twice and pretty badly, how many PPV'S do you think that say a fight with Urango v Hatton would get maybe 250k if he is lucky, not rubbish figures but lets get Khan involved what do you think them figures will be now??
Fuck me David Haye got 800k ppv's against Valuev only 12 months earlier he was fighting Monte Barrett at the O2 in a less than half empty O2 even though there was a buy one get one free ticket.
Now Hatton and Khan are both PPV fighters at the moment and are the two biggest names to the casual fan or the British public in uk boxing. Id bet my bottom doller that Hatton/Khan would easily do a million ppv's id say over 1.5 million.
Now your other reason to say this wont happen is the Casino aspect, yes they pay top doller but Im not even sure Hatton is a Vegas fighter anyomre without a credible opponent maybe Marquez the demand would be there, but that money could be made up with 100 thousand people going to Wembley watching the fight.
So the figures Hammer lets have a look at them say that average ticket price £60 and minimum 1 million buys at 15 quid.
Thats 21 million quid there, thats without selling the fight to HBO Sponsership and other income coming for this bonanza fight.
So again please tell me mate how that sort of money would be generated for a run of the mill fight with a Urango type fighter?
