That is the purpose of 24/7. Do you also notice how Floyd hasn't slagged Hatton lately?
They whispered in his ear: people are paying to see a competitive fight or upset. nobody will buy if they expect a FMJ washout.
He gets it now.
His match with Ricky Hatton could make Floyd Mayweather Jr. the all-time single-year pay-per-view king.
Mayweather Jr. might feel the same way, but he's too smart to say it. He's aware that if he trashes Hatton too much, he'll turn potential customers away.
"If I say it's one-sided, nobody will want to buy the pay-per-view," Mayweather Jr. said, beaming.
Perhaps half of those 1.5 million people that Schaefer expects to dole out $54.95 to buy the pay-per-view will be watching just to marvel at his Leonard-esque skills.
But a fighter is really a draw when there's at least as many who want to see him get his block knocked off as there are who want to see him win. And in Hatton, a gritty, physically strong and unusually determined man who has fashioned a 43-0 record, they're hoping they have the man who can finally wipe the grin off Mayweather's face
Uncle Roger said the May 5th fight should have been scored 8-3 or 9-4 in Floyd's favor, LMAO.Comment

You're right, the Judah that lost to Tszyu was undefeated, at a better weight for him. The one that fought Floyd was coming off a loss, to the Argentine cab driver king, Carlos Baldomir. Makes Floyd look even more silly when you put it that way. Not to mention the Mitchell fights.Comment

As good as Kostya was it was his square straight line euro style that got him beat , same reason Phillips beat him , same reason Lopez gave him hell , Kostya always had trouble with walk up fighters , they were his Achilles' heel , if you look at KTs career he stayed away from pressure fighters fighting guys that boxed where he could stalk them , in Hattons case he was underestimated and KT was very well payed , publicly saying they made me an offer I couldnt refuse ,,, I take nothing away from Rickys win in both KT and Castillo but the fact remains they were not in thier prime , seriously how could they be ,35 and 36 at the end of very long careers , you can say he was top p4p , and he was when prime , but when he stepped in that night it was only a rating, the fight showed where that rating was at on the night , a fighter can get old overnight , when they are ready and someone is really good young and hungry they can age 5 yrs in an hour .Last edited by RodBarker; 12-07-2007, 12:03 AM.Comment
