[TysonTKO]

[BigDog9]

im not a fan of any of them but in this case i would go for floyd i knw he gonna whoop his azz.

[DiegoFuego]

in what weight class will the fight occur? mayweather will kill him

Hatton will probably demand it at 140 lol

Team Hatton declined to negotiate

You see the number of times a fighter calls another fighter out is completely irrelevant if they refuse to get down to brass tacks. Floyd rather tastelessly made public knowledge of Team Hatton's initial pay demands, but Floyd's team completely failed to negotiate. If Floyd wanted the fight there would have been a negotiation, not an "outing" of Hatton pricing himself out.

Squeal.

You are lying.

With all due respect, what you just said is an abject lie. And I believe that you KNOW it is.

TEAM HATTON is the one who declined to negotiate for the fight. And I'm willing to make a wager to prove that.

The fight is available on HBO On Demand

I saw PBF take heaps of body shots from de la hoya in their last fight. heck i saw pbf take lik 6 consecutive body shots from de la hoya.

in sayin dat, i dont think hatton is gona hurt him with the body shots, cause pbf took some good body shots from de la hoya n it didnt seem to affect him much.

hope this fight goes through, it should b a great fight, irrespective of who wins.

That was early in the fight when Oscar "pinned" Floyd against the ropes and he tried to "multi-hook" to Floyd's body.

Lampley said that they were having no effect, and Oscar was wasting energy. Them Merchant said "well, I'm sure that they aren't doing Floyd any good".
Those punches were not effective. They were "slappy" and they were mostly landing on the waistpad. I invite you to go watch that portion of the fight again.

will hatton be able to hold as much as usual????
can floyd off set it easy???
it seems like an effective way to win rounds
i'm not taken hatton lightly....
hatton will train his hardest and be at his best ever
he could really make it interesting
must see tv

Sounds more like a trap from Floyd by coming out and telling the world "I want to fight Hatton", then he makes ridiculous financial demands, the fight doesn't go through and he can then tell the world "Hatton is ducking me, he doesn't want to fight me."

He is the number 1 fighter in the world and clearly the most discussed personality in boxing. He can do that. But he doesn't. Hatton did ask 15mill the last time i heard

[ThaHorseman]

Damn, talk about getting set up. Hatton ran his mouth after Floyd left 140, then ran his mouth when he went back to 140 from 147, then ran his mouth when Floyd retired. Now Floyd pulls his card and leaves him with no choice but to get that ass beat or look like a coward to the world. I can't wait to take some Euros off some Hatton fans LOL.

Las Vegas, NV - Floyd Mayweather, the recently crowned super welterweight champion and recognized pound-for-pound best boxer in the world today, has heard enough trash talking from Ricky Hatton over the recent weeks and is ready to step in the ring and "beat him all the way back to England." The announcement comes just days after Hatton's title defense win over Jose Luis Castillo Saturday night and less than two months after Mayweather's win over Oscar de la Hoya May 5th. [details]

Poor Hatton, Looks like hes in for the first loss of his career!!!

[Cletus Funk]

Looks like Hatton's making Floyd doubt himself - he only called himself the greatest of this era.

Floyd will price himself out by demanding DLH level money.
