1. Floyd hadn't knocked anybody out since Sharmba Mitchell on a body shot, and he starched Hatton. WHY IN THE F*** does Oscar want that fight?
This is why ODLH owns a promotional company, and you do not. This fight overseas could quite possibly be the biggest draw in boxing of all time generating more in ticket sales combined with PPV buys than PBF vs ODLH. ( i did not say just in ppv buys alone ) The people of the UK want hatton to fight there, they will do anything to see him, nevermind the fact that its against ODLH. $$ would be Unreal

2. THE PUBLIC HONESTLY DOESN'T WANT TO SEE THE WORLD AWAITS 2!!! Stop trying to push the fight on the fans.
1 sentence. SPEAK FOR YOURSELF.

Floyd clearly said that after the Hatton fight that he's physically and mentally tired of boxing and NOW you want to fight him? BTW, the Floyd rematch would probably only do 1.5 Mil and Floyd is gonna demand parity so good luck with that.
He also said he retired after ODLH

3. You're saying that you want to fight at 147, then come down and fight Cotto. Cotto isn't a big welterweight either but I'd say he's more natural at the weight than Mayweather. Cotto's Puerto Rican, you're Mexican, it'd be great TV. Cotto just beat Shane Mosley and while the PPV wasn't that great, with 24/7 and the right promotion, the fight could do around 1 Mil and Cotto would probably only need 30% to be satisfied. Make the fight happen. One question: why isn't this your first choice?
$$$ ODLH is not just thinking about purses in these fights, he's thinking of the overall promotion of these fights which one of these 3 fights would generate the most $$$$.
And IMO those 3 fights you have up there is the exact order I feel would generate the biggest moolah for ODLH and Co.
