Going by that train of thought you could just as easily say Hatton is giving Mayweather the chance to stay at number 1p4p.

Who was the last p4p fighter Mayweather fought?

He wasn't going to stay at number 1 for much longer when you have guys like Hopkins, Pac, Calzaghe etc... recently competing with other p4p fighters.

So as well as Floyd giving Hatton the opportunity to fight for the p4p crown, Hatton is (by your analogy) giving Floyd the opportunity to hang on to the crown.
