Mayweather Jr. Trying To Break Up Pacquiao vs. Hatton?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to Gareth Williams, attorney for Ricky Hatton, the Manchester fighter has been approached for a 2009 rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr. A little over a year ago, Hatton suffered his sole defeat to Mayweather in Las Vegas. After suffering the knockout loss, Hatton has chased after Mayweather for a rematch. Mayweather has not fought since the win over Hatton, announcing his retirement from the sport a few months ago.

I think Floyd is doing this to get to Pac.

by trying to rematch hatton..?

interesting way of getting pacman...

[jcarr71]

The ultimate cynic could argue that Floyd realizes that if Pac fights and KOs Hatton, he could never come back without fighting him so he's beating him to the punch...

[SickmyDuck]

I dont believe until someone from Floyd`s camp makes a comment on it

it could just a way of getting more money out of a fight with Pacman for Hatton

I think that is likely it

Makes more sense to rematch Hatton after and if Ricky starches Manny.

Hatton's value would rise, then they could make the rematch happen.

If Manny beats Ricky, then a mega fight between Manny and Floyd would be in demand and could possibly break the box office records set by De La Hoya vs. Mayweather.
