              yeah,he said he would advise matthew,but in a way i don't blame them,you don't get many chances at a title shot,even though they are at a huge disadvantage,it's an opportunity to get a good payday and you never know what can happen,if jose cotto who isn't a big puncher had canelo hurt,you never know,hatton can win this fight and become champ and because he beat canelo his future fights would be good for him,more money,i guess they can't pass on an opportunity like this even though it means sacrificing a lot

                Oh really ?

                Hmmm..... I tell you what kid, how about you run along and go find me a link that proves that statement incorrect?

                Thought so

                And, absolutely NOBODY gave him any credit for that win.

                Mayweather re-negotiated the contract two weeks prior to that fight in order to bypass the commission and save himself $400k in penalties. My boy JMM made an extra 100k over the 500k that would have been afforded him by the NSAC.

                That was still a b1tch-move, but catch-weight fights are a side-show anyways, so what can you really expect?

                Your sentiment is 100% correct, just short on the actuals
                Awww, did I spoil your " May-bash "?

                Grow up.

                  I see no reason why the Commission shhould get a cent more than whatever fees they normally get. If they want to fine Canelo, that should be a privare matter and separate from the purse, which is between the 2 boxers.

                  If Hatton won't fight, (and I wouldn't blame him) I think that he is still, by contract, entitled to a solid percentage of the original purse.

                  So he should pull out and take his contracted amount. His opponent iis likely to rehydrate to about 170, and hatton, after all is a small welterweight.

                  Oh I forgot about this...

                    Wow... so how many WW was Canelo targeting? Ortiz,Hatton,Lopez(40er). He wanted to fight Manny now hes going after Floyd? How are they letting him get away with this?

                      I have a question here... Why was the title on the line for Canelo? Why only lost the money? Oh I remember now... the belt was GIVEN to him. That title shouldve been on the line only for Hatton.
