Floyd didn't have an interview, what could he have said? He ate his words big time... it was fun with all the talk, but what they promised in the 'New Ricky Hatton' wasn't there...
Quit now, says Floyd Snr
Trainer's untimely hint for the Hitman
Floyd Mayweather Snr believes it is time for Ricky Hatton to retire.
The trainer, who was rumoured to have fallen out with the Hitman on the eve of his fight with Manny Pacquiao, delivered the damning verdict minutes after his fighter was knocked out cold.
Hatton was floored twice in the first round before being caught by a vicious left hook at the end of the second and had to be helped from the ring.
But as he headed to hospital for a check-up, Mayweather Snr was calling for his man to hang up the gloves.
Failed
"I would suggest he retire," he said. "At the end of the day it's his decision."
"He tried twice. He failed twice. He lost to my son and to lose to someone below that, it's time to leave the ring.
"He made a good profit. Sometimes you have to go when your prime is still there."
Mayweather's comments will do little to dispel the reports that he is going to split with Hatton after just two fights in charge.
Hatton meanwhile assured his thousands of fans that he was fine before heading off to a nearby hospital for tests.
"I didn't see the shot coming," he said. "But I will be OK."

SKY interview:
He said he told Ricky to keep his hands up even before the fight in the dressing room; Hatton didn't listen (obviously). Hatton didn't do what they trained for. He also said Defense is very important. He also told Ricky not to be aggressive and see what Pac was going to do....he didn't do it.
On the written part: It said Sr. advised Hatton to retire.
He mustve been so embarassed with all his trash talking and not so accurate prediction, just avoided the interview as much as possible because hed be too embarassed to make excuses on live TV
fight? They didn't had the interview here in Mexico, and i really wanted to know what he said. I'd really appreciate it if somebody can tell me.
He did'nt say shit. Im sure all he said was "ahhhhhhhhh......."
Mayweather has left the building...
