Another brilliant move by Floyd to avoid fighting Cotto. Go to Manchester and eat dinner with Hatton.

He will return to the States looking like Biggie Smalls

Floyd's coming over to recruit some British fans.


He does actually have a fan base over here. I know quite a few people who werre rooting for him against Hatton.

Its kind of funny how in 2006 he was a nobody over here and now in 2008 pretty much everyone knows about him.

Actually I've been a fan of Floyd since he started his career. I agree most people did'nt know him before but most of my friends who are boxing fans here in UK knew him pre-2006 and rooted for him, if you say casual fans then maybe your right, he has became much more of a household name now.

Yeah thats what I meant. He was unkown outside of the boxing community to people in the UK. Now hes become a superstar worldwide which is a positive thing for boxing. Its good when people are aware who the p4p king is.

i'd go to this.

mayweather is clearly not the prick he acts like, i think he's a pretty funny feller.

he's an average boxer though....

Floyd really does seem lika a generally nice person when he's not selling tickets

yeah thats really it... when its fight time... hes not gonna be nice, hes a fighter and he wants that edge.... but after the competition is done theres no need to act like that... and he doesnt

Floyd Mayweather and Ricky Hatton will get together again next year in a Manchester - re-match - at a sportsman's dinner!

The world's best pound-for-pound fighter, Mayweather, is determined to come back to Britain and this time he wants to be remembered as a good guy.

In September, Hatton and Mayweather held promotional press conferences in London and Manchester but the American was booed and jeered every time he opened his mouth.

Last weekend Mayweather silenced all of his doubters in the boxing business, and all of Hatton's fans, when he stopped the Manchester idol in 10 rounds.

In the fight's emotional wake Mayweather stunned over 100 British journalists, Hatton and the boxer's family by declaring his admiration and love for the 29,000 travelling fans.

He said: "Even at the end I could still hear the band playing and that is the type of support I would love.

"I forgive everyone for the abuse I received and I know now that it is just the British way.

"At the end I could feel the respect of the crowd and I enjoyed it."

The plan is now for Mayweather to visit Britain next year and undertake two or three special dinners and do some promotional work.

On Wednesday in Las Vegas, Hatton and Mayweather were due to get together at the American's five million dollar mansion but Mayweather overslept after a long night on the tiles and the meeting fell through.

Hatton said: "I've seen Floyd in a different light and he just seemed to change after the fight.

"I've heard he's planning to come to Britain and I would definitely hook up with him again.

"It's no secret I want a re-match and perhaps we can sit down and talk about it."

There was a shift in attitude towards the flamboyant and often outspoken Mayweather in the hours after his fists ruined Hatton's dream.

He said: "Ricky never let any of his fans down and that is the type of fighter I am.

"I want to come to England and get a bit of that myself.

"I know that Ricky and his family will look after me when I get there - and I am convinced that the British boxing public will welcome me."

Floyd doesn't drink.

Just another typical BULL**** story from a british newspaper. A load of ****ing scum the lot of them

[moofo]

I went with my heart when I thought Ricky would win and got into the pantomime of "Hating" Mayweather.
But after Floyd spanked Ricky I must admit I had to accept that Mother****er was the real deal.
I have nothing but respect for Floyd and hope I get chance to be at one of these dinners.
