Is Mayweather's return announcement taking away some of the shine of Pacquiao-Hatton?

No it doesn't detract from the fight tonight in any way. Floyd is a washed up retiree until he proves otherwise in the ring, and he's fighting "Second Prize" Marquez 20 lbs north of his best weight. Assuming that Mayweather produces the goods against Juan Manuel the Oompa Lumpa then there might be some half decent speculation later.

If anything it makes tonights fight even better. The winner of this fight goes on to find out who the 'REAL' p4p no.1 is. Not really, Floyd has to work to get back his p4p status. He's at the back of the que right now!

Of course it doesnt. It would be cool if PBF was ringside though - surely he will be...anybody know?

The boards are blowing up with this like suspected, but I'm still mainly concerned with the fight tonight. it was done purposefully so the winner of pac/hatton could fight the winner of pbf/jmm.

he wishes.....

It was kinda inevitable that he was coming back so no its not took the shine off tonight's fight :)

you can only say "Pacman TKO8" so many times Mayweather's return leaves more room for discussion

yeah......a press conference about a fight will upstage a real fight.

Kinda, but not really. Since he said he's comin back, it's no longer speculation and is a legit topic, so it's less irritatin. Of course Mr boat buyer's stans are happy, but the real focus is still on the fight.

I think Floyd deliberately wanted to get sum light on him today. Why would they schedule the presser today? Most pressers aren't on Saturdays from wat I remember...

No. If anything, the fight is spiced up by the possibility of the winner fighting Mayweather (particularly if it's Pacquiao).
