Mayweather-Hatton Bout is Getting Close Recommend this page Printable version



By Mark Vester

According to a report in the Manchester Evening News, promoter Dennis Hobson is currently involved in very serious talks with the advisers of WBC welterweight champ Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and HBO regarding a potential Ricky Hatton-Mayweather bout.

It was said by the paper that Hobson and Hatton are expected to find out in the next 48-hours if the fight is a done deal.

If the fight falls apart, Oscar De La Hoya has shown interest in fighting Hatton in Wembley, but that encounter would not take place until 2008.

Both sides are looking at November 10 as the pay-per-view date, with a yet to be announced Las Vegas venue being the site.

A reliable source told MEN Sport: "It's getting very, very close and I reckon that the next 24 hours will decide things one way or the other, 48 hours at the most, as it will take 24 to come to an agreement and another 24 to run it past all parties."

I love when people try to talk like they know something and get proven wrong instantly. Call that one a SMACK

is this the height of ur accomplishments in life?

you sure are acting like it...

Keep it professional guys. No need to get all cranky on me for pointing out how I said it was BS two days ago and getting a little joy out of being right. I'm just demonstrating how people shouldn't get excited about anything regarding Hatton or Calzaghe until it is on paper. I'm still waiting for Calzaghe-Kessler to fall apart and won't believe that one's for real until November 3rd when both guys are in the ring.

[Cletus Funk]

Answer me 1 question, Diego. Why didn't you show the same level of vitriol towards the man in your sig as you did towards Castillo for failing to make weight, you flip-flopping mother****er?

Uhhhh I did? .....

[Cletus Funk]

Uhhhh I did? .....

I meant avatar.

Still, explain.............

[DiegoFuego]

I called him a hypocrite for throwing a fit over Castillo not doing it and then doing it himself and I took down the Castillo avatar immediately thereafter, admitting I was wrong.

[DiegoFuego]

This avatar only exists because he's no longer with us and that was my favorite moment as a boxing fan.

With that said, I do not praise Corrales for being a good person because apparently he wasn't. He was irresponsible and selfish for what he did, but in the ring, he will always be my favorite.
