Thats what Floyd says after Gatti didnt show up to a press conference for the fight because he was sick even though he scheduled one for tommorrow. Check it out. This article says that Floyd didnt show up for a the post fight Gatti and Leija interview but that is wrong. Floyd didnt show up to that because Gatti was a no show at his post fight interview the week before against Brusseles. This article is also wrong about Floyd's weight classes. He saw 4 and the guy said 3 but it is 4 because he has fought at 126 also. Also maxboxing has a good article on this press conference also.

I'd be scared of PBF too. IF that guy will shoot his baby's momma in the chest, what they hell is he going to do to someone he doesn't like.

He already signed, no sense of being scared now. Boxers DO get sick you know, I think they're still human....

Exactly....that sounds more like it. Say what they will, Gatti isnt afraid of anybody, I dont think! :rolleyes:

One thing that is cool is that I have never heard him and Zoo disrespect eachother. They always give eachother respect. I always hear Zoo says that Floyd is one of the best and he it would be a great fight and Floyd says the same. I would pay anything to see that

He's sick on the day of the press conference. He has all the time in the world to be sick but he's sick now and then he has a press conference tommorrow. This is all on maxboxing. Floyd came a long way for this and he shouldve showed up. You are supposed to go out and promote a big PPV fight and he's not helping

I dont think he's scared but he still shouldve showed up to promote this fight. He is headlineing his first PPV

Yeah I agree he should have showed up but I mean check, I got sick the day of my final exam so yeah **** does happen even on the worst days. Maybe Gatti did it to piss off Mayweather for all the time he waited as well lol who knows. But I'm sure it's not THAT big of a deal, there shoud be more press conferences in the future and in any case, there's months of promotional time left.

I agree....I doubt Gatti is scared of any kind of fight. Besides were they going to fight at the press conference... I mean why be scared at a press conference. I hope Gatti shuts him up

HAHA, i knew somebody was goin to point this out make a thread and rip on Gatti. So I'll set it straight.

First of DLT your wrong. Gatti didnt have to show up after the Mayweather-Brussles fight, because that was the week before Gatti's fight w/ Leija. The deal was Mayweather gets through Brussles, Gatti get through Leija we have a Gatti Mayweather fight. You cant have a presser for a Gatti - PBF fight until after the outcome of Gatti-JJL. Which Floyd was not there, which is a disrespect. So inturn Gatti gave him some of his own medicine.

Lets not get into an arguement on who was more disrespectful. PBF is probably thee most disrespectful pieces of **** in the game and the ******* wonders why nobody watches his fights.

So it doesnt matter if u like him or not Gatti is the champ, and should in turn be treated like one. Gatti doesnt need PBF. But Gatti does what to prove he can beat the best and that why he will win, so Floyd enjoy ur ****in party w/ Puff daddy, and come to the bricks and get knocked the **** out.

I think its a start of a psychological warfare. Looks like Gatti wants to get into Floyd's head. Make him loose his focus, do unpredictable things.

Check out the Video: www.badboysboxing.com

McGirt seriously believes Gatti will beat Mayweather and he wasn't taking any crap -

he is usually fairly quite, but he got a little hyped himself
at this conference.

go check it out............

Also it is pretty foolish to think that the fighter that was to wars more times than pretty mush anybody in boxing will be afraid of anybody, does not matter how good they are.

It's funny Mayweather was yelling at Gatti for not being there to promote the fight to sell more tickets but in turn I think it hyped the fight even more. Oh does anyone know when tickets go onsale?

Spousal Abuse. Stemming from a "Domestic Dispute".

So he did abuse his woman, but he did not shoot her in the chest, right?

My bad for confusing the two wife beaters.

Your wrong. I heard it somewhere or I read a article about it during that time and Gatti was supposed to be there. I think Merchant may have even said it in the interview. I even heard Gatti say it but Gatti said that he didnt show up because Floyd hadnt finalized his leagal troubles. Thats why he didnt say nothing bad about Floyd not showing up in his post fight interview because he knew that he didnt show up.

A guy doesnt have to win first. This happeneds all the time in boxing. Chico and Castillo had there fight announced before the Diaz fight

Hey Joe is that Joe Mesi after Jirov fight?

I hope Pretty Boy gets his ass KOed. I can see disrespecting Gatti, but bringing Bernard and Roy Jones into this is stupid. I think he loses to both in their primes.

And get his ass kicked. No in fact he hit his wife. I also heard that he was wearing the robe with "wife beater" on its back. Dont know if its true though.

Unusual for Gatti not to show up at a press conference. Seems more like a PBF move. Nonetheless, Gatti's name alone is enough to sell out most any venue and true boxing fans know that Mayweather is an artist. Promotional wise, it'll b easy to sell this one, Gatti or no Gatti

Your wrong. This is about selling out a venue. Everyone knows that will happened. This is about getting PPV buys so he has to show up next time

Gatti and scared, r u kidding he just wanted to piss of mayweather cuz mayweathere didn't come to his fight...this just shows he does not respect mayweather and duznt give **** about his boxing ability, cuz all he has to do to beat him is to step in the ring.

The betting for this fight is going to start out at Gatti a 5-1 underdog at least. Then cause so many insane Gatti fans bet on him they will have to level it out.

Gatti scared? Thats absurd if he was scared he would not have called out Mayweather for the fight in the first place. Mayweather has a big mouth that is going to get shut on the 25th. And further more it's on HBO it's not that big of a PPV
GO GATTI
