Well as far as $$$ is concerned, it makes perfect sense for both, especially Oscar. But from personal fan viewpoint, this fight means nothing. Oscar won't make a greater legacy fighting Hatton. Hatton will get beaten criminally, and even if he wins everyone would say Oscar was shot{and they'd be right IMO}. I don't care if they fight, I'm just not paying for it{unless VD loans me the money}
Oh dont get wrong,I wouldnt buy it,but it makes sense for Hatton as it would be a high profile fight after a high profile loss.
For De La Hoya it would be a high profile fight after a series of pretty high profile losses
No matter who wins
It puts Hattons star back in to ascendancy,or it save Oscars from decline. Its not a fight that interests me stylisticly,admittably,but it makes sense for the combatants
