But the most enjoyable build up for me was Mayweather-Hatton. I amBritish which is why the build up was so thrilling to me. A great, classy pure boxer facing our very own rough, scrubby Ricky Hatton. It was amazing. Hatton was at the top of his game and the relationship he had with us, his fans, made the fight feel personal to us. I remember when Floyd came to London to train at Pea**** Gym, the entire street was flooded with fans. I didn't manage to get in but it was a moment I'll never forget. Ricky wanted to hurt Floyd, and Floyd, he was just Floyd. The fight didn't disappoint either, May should true heart and gritt. One of the best periods of my life, from a boxing standpoint.

Mayweather-Hatton was the most fun and exciting buildup to a fight for me. Mayweather-Pacquiao seemed more like a culmination of something, of arguments and anticipation of what?

Mayweather-Pacquiao was more of a culmination, they didn't spend money promoting the fight all that much because they knew they didn't need to, so that took away from the build up. Mayweather's side didn't say too much at all during the build up. Pacquiao's side talked a lot more about Manny looking like a beast and being the best he's ever been having gotten his killer instinct back. 4.5 million buys after so little hoopla proves them right that they didn't need to promotoe the fight too much.

But the build up to that fight had nothing on Floyd-manny. That was a 6 years build and people was more than pumped. That fight had the biggest hype but was also the biggest let down.
Damn Floyd was part of two of the biggest built up fight ever and both ended up being very lackluster affairs. What does that say. I'll give Floyd credit dude knows how to build a fight. But when it comes to showtime the fight never compares to the build up. Damn shame.Last edited by boxinghead530; 11-16-2015, 12:41 PM.
