Haha it's a fun story. Kind of weird also.
I have his older book, but will have to pick up a copy of his new one. I'd imagine there are some funny stories in there.

Hatton called Floyd out and bashed him the same way Floyd bashed him in 24/7.

Don't start nothing there won't be nothing.

Btw Floyd has been nothing but respect to Ricky Hatton from right after the ref counted Hatton out.

what's with all the sour g****s?

Former two-weight world champion, Ricky Hatton has provided the public with plenty of insightful stories about his days both inside and outside the ring.

In an extract from his book, Hatton made his distain for the ***8220dckhead***8221; Floyd Mayweather very clear.

But he also told an extremely entertaining tale which really sums up Mayweather***8217;s extraordinary egotism.

Prior to their 2007 fight against one another, ***8216;The Hitman***8217; was traveling by private plane to New York for a promotion event. He soon became aware that Floyd, who was traveling in a separate plane, was ordering his pilot to overtake the English fighter mid-air.


A few minutes into the the journey, we***8217;re chatting away, having a drink when the pilot gestures to me to come forward. ***8216;Hey Ricky, listen to this idiot.***8217;

He turns on the speaker and over the radio I hear Floyd arguing with the pilot of his plane behind: ***8220;I***8217;m not letting that mother****er get there before me, ****ing overtake them!***8221;

***8220;We cant do that, Sir.***8221;

***8220;Overtake that mother****er ***8211; I***8217;m the champ! I***8217;ve got to get to New York first. I***8217;ll pay whatever you want.***8221;

Hatton summed up his opinion of Mayweather in one classic line.


What***8217;s the point of being the world***8217;s best fighter if everyone thinks you***8217;re a ****head?

I don't think it's sour g****s, i think it's just an honest opinion.

LOL funny story! You can tell who the idiot floyd fans on this thread are when they can't even laugh at a funny story only because Floyd is involved. Fucking grow up some of you, geez.

The only sour g****s I see are the Floyd fans here who get their panties in a twist anytime someone isn't slurping Floyd. Its a funny story. I laughed when I read it. I didn't see it as a knock on Floyd. I saw it as Hatton finding it amusing that Floyd would act so childish. If Hatton feels that Floyd is a D.H then he's entitled to his opinion.

The best athletes have some of the craziest competitive traits.

No wonder Floyd is 48-0. MFer even has to win plane races.

War Mayweather-Cotto 2!

Yeah definitely. I got his other one too and enjoyed it a lot and it seems like this one will be a bit more fun so I think it is a must. I have heard this plane story a couple of times though but still, it is pretty funny that Floyd thought a pilot would do that. I hope the book has a load of others that are quite similar.

I can imagine there will be some comedy gems uncovered when he explains his after fight parties in Vegas.

Ricky Hatton embarrassed the hell out of floyd until that lucky flash KD that was magnified by hitting the corner of the ring which hurt him badly. Floyd always dodged the rematch and with good reason. Cant wait to read this book.
