It made business sense as long as Hatton remained undefeated, which he did.....just. All the same, I'm just glad this fight is happening. I think it will be closer than a few expect. I just want Ricky to win. I can take arrogance, bravado, shit talking etc..., but what takes the biscuit with mayweather is the way he needlessly flaunts his money when so many have so little. That's why I can't stand him and would love to see him out on his ass.
Floyd's money antics would annoy me if it came from Ivanka Trump or Brandon Davis or Paris Hilton. They fell ass-backwards into money. They didn't earn it.Quote:

In my eyes, he paid the cost to be the boss.
His money antics don't piss me off in the least. In fact, it motivates me.
Hatton on at least one previous occasion has refused to fight Mayweather on the grounds that the first time he wasn't ready and on the second occasion he was not yet known internationally.
However to say that Hatton is/was ducking Floyd is ridiculous. Have you forgotten that the meeting on December 8th was as a result of Ricky's advances and that both fighters sought out the fight and as soon as it went to negotiations the deal was made. For me this illustrates that both parties hatton and mayweather were anxious to make this fight.
