        From your link.
        Didn't confirm it at all. It was Hatton who turned down offers to fight Mayweather. Not the other way around in spite of how you keep lying about it.



        Did you miss this part of it?

        In an International Press conference held yesterday, Ricky Hatton was told that Bruce Trampler of Top Rank, Mayweather's now former promoter had said that Ricky turned down a fight with Mayweather at least twice this year and that he would not be facing him this year. Hatton was asked if this was correct?

        Here is what Ricky Hatton had to say on the subject:

        RICKY HATTON: Well, me personally it wasn;t done but I mean I can't be speaking for their, you know for my team, or to be honest this year it would be ****** to admit with a fight with Mayweather because I have so many problems with ***8211; problems outside the ring where my father promoted (INAUDIBLE) obviously we were sitting trying to do a deal with HBO.

        I was in negotiations with that when my current promoter and he***8217;s my new promoter, you know, from Artie Pelullo, Robert Waterman and Dennis Hobson. He was who had the court case with Souleymane M***8217;Baye was claiming (INAUDIBLE) fight. There were so many things going on and it***8217;s been difficult to ***8211; you know to basically get on with the fighting so to speak, you know, with the negotiations.

        But I think the sensible thing is, you know, I***8217;ve ***8211; I don***8217;t think that when I come straight out of England and fight in the first time in America and fight Floyd Mayweather, you know. To be perfectly honest with you I think that would be a ****** thing to do.

          It's there in black and white that Mayweather refused to travel to the UK from the link you provided.

          But there are other quotes out there from him, where he flat-out refused to go to England, his words.

          He wasn't the champ, he wasn't selling out stadiums but he refused to travel. He expected Hatton to travel, which he ultimately did to his own detriment.

          In fact, Jr even cried about having to go to New Jersey to face Gatti claiming it should have been in Las Vegas even though Gatti was the PPV guy.

            How can Mayweather refuse something that wasn't offered LOL? You're going by Hatton's rambling about fighting in the UK. That's what Hatton is saying. But the promoter, you know the guys that actually make the fight, said in "black and white" that Hatton turned down Mayweather twice. Hatton didn't deny it when asked about it. His excuse? "Problems" LOL



            Gatti was never a "PPV guy" so stop lying.

                I'm going on Mayweather's own quotes, his words. Now you've provided corroboration with Hatton's words. Of course that won't be enough for you because it doesn't suit.

                But the promoter, you know the guys that actually make the fight, said in "black and white" that Hatton turned down Mayweather twice. Hatton didn't deny it when asked about it. His excuse? "Problems" LOL. Gatti was never a "PPV guy" so stop lying.
                He didn't confirm it either, he said he couldn't speak for his team. But it's irrelevant because those offers would have been to fight in the US when the fight should've been in a stadium in the UK given Hatton was the champ and ticket seller - where Mayweather refused to go.

                Trampler isn't the promoter anyway, he was/is Top Rank's matchmaker.

                On Gatti, he was the A-side, the fight was on PPV, Gatti was the draw. Floyd complained about having to travel to New Jersey, he wanted to fight in Las Vegas or even NY and a good whinge about it.

                  Fun to watch all the Floyd Fags get riled up over this.

                  I'm not real big on excuse making, but Cortez ****ed Hatton pretty good in that fight. I'm not going to say Hatton would have won, but it is better to watch 1v1 than 2v1 as a boxing fan. It might be justice for the ref job in Hatton against Tszyu, which I'm sure he isn't complaining about.

                    I remember Floyd kept trying to touch Ricky's junk during the Pre-Fight Presser.
