yup... ricky should've kept his word... he should've convinced matt not to take the fight

[thegonzo]

No, on all three points......

Mayweather has NEVER failed to make the contracted weight for a fight, and he was NOT fined by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

YOU, sir, are a fuc!kin idiot.

[Straightener]

NO ONE LIKES A HYPE JOB AND EVERYONE LOVES A UNDERDOG WAR HATTON hatton for the win!!!

[badteef]

Alvarez is going to be pissed as hell in the ring. Hattons going to need 35k for cosmetic surgery :P

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 thought it was an hour and a half later, with 30 minutes still to go for the two hours. I am surprised that he could take off no more than about 5 oz. that is, IF he was trying.

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.

I.8 lbs is just under TWO pounds, and the guy will probably be 170 at fighttime.

mhatton should have demanded a 10M / pound penalty over the agreed weight limit to prevent canelo of getting an advantage over weight...

I dont think team Canelo every intended to make weight. The catchweight was just about luring a very beatable WW up to face him.

Oh I forgot about this...

[Zano-24]

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?

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

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.
