Former two division champion Ricky Hatton is not a fan of Sunday's showdown between Floyd Mayweather and social media superstar Logan Paul.
Mayweather, 44-years-old and a former five division world champion, knocked Hatton out in what was a blockbuster Las Vegas fight in 2007.
Paul, 26-years-old, made his pro debut in 2019 - losing a six round split decision to Youtube rival KSI.
Paul weighed 35-pounds more than Mayweather on Saturday.
Despite the size disadvantage, Mayweather is a tremendous favorite to dominate the contest with a likely stoppage win.
Hatton is not happy that Paul secured such a lucrative opportunity due to his massive following on social media.
"I think Floyd Mayweather is damaging his legacy, his peers will be looking at him. Truth be known, though, Floyd doesn’t give a sh!t. He doesn’t care. He’s called himself ‘Money’ Mayweather for God sake, that tells you all you need to know," Hatton explained to Metro.co.uk.
"It is all about money with him. Me personally, I thought it was about the fans, the fans pay your wages. The fans deserved to be entertained. Floyd isn’t bothered as long as he gets money. It shows total disrespect to his peers and the other great champions of old.
"Of course, you go into professional boxing for money reasons, to provide a better living for your family and a better lifestyle for them and yourself. So of course, money plays a big part. But some things have to come before money. Like legacy. How much money does he want? He has already secured his family’s future. The last few fights you want are the ones to secure your legacy.
"I haven’t seen Logan Paul box, I don’t know if he’s any good or how bad he is. I didn’t know who he was until a few months ago until he started getting linked with all these fighters. What upsets me, as a boxer who loved and still loves this sport, I feel very proud of how hard I worked to get the opportunity to fight Floyd Mayweather.
"I beat Kostya Tszyu, who was the best in the light welterweight division. I beat Carlos Maussa, I beat Luis Collazo, I beat Juan Urango, I beat Jose Luis Castillo, that’s how I got my shot at Floyd Mayweather. He [Paul] has got a shot at him because he’s got 72 f-----g million followers. And it pisses me off.
