Win win fight for Hatton too. He either goes out with a great win the whole of Britain would remember or he loses a changing of the guard fight and can obviously blame age.

As ive clearly pointed out year after year..

calzaghe-woods
calzaghe-froch
hatton-witter

All at one time or another would of been huge domestic fights. But what exactly is the incentive for ricky hatton to fight a huge DOMESTIC star for 2-3million in the UK when he could be going over to america and earning double that to fight a guy he can beat with his hands tied behind his back
err.. what? Khan is a massive star in Britain, sells 10,000 tickets fighting guys no-one has ever heard of and is a PPV fighter. A fight with Hatton would sell out a stadium easily. The PPV would be massive.

Woods = nobody.
Froch = No TV deal and sells 6,000 tickets in Nottingham.

Neither were ever serious rivals or a big fight for Calzaghe.

Witter? Hatton was only in mega fights in the States against BIG names. The Powderpuff, Urango and Collazo fights weren't big events at all.

HBO refused to buy the Lazcano fight yet Hatton still fought in England because he's big enough a star to sell 55,000 tickets fighting a washed up nobody. Hatton could have (should have) fought Witter anytime he wanted. And Hatton is finished as an American attraction.

Hatton didnt see a fight with witter who was an established world champion as sellable even before he got in with the likes of castillo and mayweather

Now he has been in with that level of opponent you honestly think at this stage in his career he`ll jump at the chance to fight a domestic showdown despite the fact he`s now a good 10-20 million quid richer??
