Things really heated up yesterday at a post-press conference at the MGM Grand Garden to help Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Ricky Hatton. At the conference, Hatton known for keeping his cool had to be pulled apart from Mayweather Jr.
Both Hatton and Mayweather had engaged in a shoving match during the head-to-head, when both were standing face to face.
After they were both pulled apart, Hatton stated: "He leaned on me a little bit I just leaned back on him and he spat his dummy out. He isn't pushing me back."
Hatton added: "There's a time for me to laugh and joke and be my usual sarcastic self but the fight's two days away now and I've done my laughing and joking. When I leaned back on him he said 'don't touch me, don't touch me'. I gave him a little bit of the 'you're dead' gesture then I smiled at him. If he's annoyed at that wait till the bell rings."
In regards to why the shoving match started in the first place, Hatton said: "I think Floyd depends on that confidence and that's why he did it. I think it'll hurt him more than me. I'll go away and forget about it now but I think he might be seething."
