Gatti-Mayweather presser!

[borikua]

By Matt Richardson

Plans for separate press conferences to keep Arturo Gatti and Floyd Mayweather apart didn't work out as planned Wednesday in New York City. Gatti arrived about an hour late, while Mayweather showed up a half-hour early. Gatti spoke to the media for a bit, mentioning that he is having trouble making the weight, but wouldn't say what he currently weighs. Mayweather disrupted things by taking off his shirt, jumping up and down and yelling. Gatti went to the podium and told Floyd, "Mayweather, I'm knocking you the f#!@ out Saturday night." Mayweather stated, "On Saturday night, I may take him into deep waters. I depends upon how I feel. I'm going to crush him. Mark my words, I'm going to crush him." WBA champ Vivian Harris then got into a verbal altercation with Mayweather and security had to come to the podium to separate the two. (More to come)

Why are they trying to keep them separated all the time? It's not like they have got into any altercations just words exchanging.

If Harris keeps running his mouth Mayweather is bound to shut it up. That's if Harris and Steward don't price themselves out of a fight. Harris has the skills and everything to become a big force at 140 but he just needs to stop talking and start fighting.

Oh yeah the Mayweather camp better watch that scales on Friday and make sure Gatti makes weight legitimately.

Are Vivian Harris and Joan Guzman related?

Has this ever happened in history when a fighter didn't make weight?

What are the consequences?

One of them leaves the ring in a stretcher. Just ask Joey Gamache.

Expect Mayweather to get the same treatment.

If I was Harris I would go after Hatton.
That's the only way he's going to get his match with Mayweather.

I really hope Gatti breaks his jaw so bad he wont be able to talk anymore.

If the fighter who made weight agrees to fight the fighter that didn't make weight anyway, then they fight. If not, the fight is not allowed to take place, at least that's how it's supposed to work lol

Gatti is gonna rip Gayweathers **** off.

It looks like the excuses are ready.

When Gatti loses, it's because he has problems making the weight.

If he didn't have problems making the weight, he would have won.
