hatton vs. khan possible next year

[Gandalf]

I can't see it happening. Hatton likes Khan and Warren is Khans promoter. It's probably too difficult to set up right now. I can see Hatton wanting to fight Marquez a lot more than Khan. Maybe if Hatton and Khan can win their next fights something could be set up with the increased demand, but Hatton said he wants only one more.

I posted this on the UK boxing part of this forum.


I think its the perfect fight for both of them.

Hatton is still held in high regard by the American boxing fraternity. He can still draw the big fights. Beating Khan would let everyone know he's still a force in world boxing.

Khan is the up and coming next world champion in waiting. What better why to announce your arrival to the Americans then beating Hatton.


The winner of Hatton V Khan should get to fight Juan Manuel Marquez. Simple's

hatton will murder khan theres noway khan will fight hatton

[zbolt]

gbp said they're tired in waiting for hatton's decision to fight jmm and they're looking for other opponents (jmm vs. campbell anyone?)

this will likely boost chances of hatton vs. khan if warren is willing to share promotions with hatton's promotional firm

[Gandalf]

But don't get me wrong, it is a fight I myself would really like to see too. Even now I think Hatton has a great shot of stopping him.

It WILL NOT happen - simples

hope frank is willing to share the promotions with hatton and give hatton one last huge payday. he deserves it.

hatton vs. khan is quite interesting fight

Theres more chance of amir khan fighting wladimir klitschko on the moon than him fighting hatton.

Khan is too high risk for too low pay for ricky to even consider getting in with him. He is also warrens boy and ricky has already said they wont do business again

khan fights and beats paulie on the floyd-pac undercard. Hatton makes a triumphant final hurrah in manchester against marquez in the summer

To be honest Rick doesnt need another huge payday, it isnt about the money anymore, he is a millionaire 10 times over and some. Neither is he interested in fighting Amir, I know that as we have spoke about this fight before. I went out on the piss with him in Newcastle a couple of weeks ago, and I dont think anything will have changed since then. As for him and Ray working with Frank, I think hell will freeze over first.

Khan too low pay?

The fight would be HUGE over here. Shame about Hatton/Warren stopping it happening.

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.

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

i don't buy that it isn't about the money anymore. look at floyd and pacquiao, i think both guys are richer than ricky but they're still fighting.

if ricky will fight again, money will be a big factor. ricky can retire peacefully now but big money can also entice him of fighting one more time.

hatton vs. khan will be huge in the uk

Trust me I know Rick very well. He always told me, and this was before the Mayweather and Pacman loss, that if he did ever lose, that it would never be his last fight. He said I could never go out on a loss. Rick misses the excitement and the buzz of fighting in front of thousands of fans, I know this because I know him, and he's told me.

Some boxers return to the ring for financial reasons, some return because of their ego, others return because they miss the buzz and the adulation. Hatton definately falls into the latter category, but you can add the pride word into that equation and you have the exact reason for Rick returning to the ring.

Hatton v Khan would be a huge UK fight, it's not one I personally wish to see, neither will it be one that will happen.

As for Floyd and Pacman, they are not only fighting for the money, they are fighting for their legacy.
