hatton vs. khan possible next year

[Nameless]

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.

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.

I think that Hatton has still this power to draw over a large crowd. The only thing that worries me is that he wants a decent opponent but is definitely not taking care of his health/dieting in consequence.
