Gatti to return?
Could be, former champ Arturo Gatti (40-9, 31 KOs) may be staging a comeback. Nothing is yet official, but promoter Yvon Michel says he’s open to the possibility of matching Gatti up with undefeated Canadian Antonin Decarie (19-0, 5 KOs) sometime next year. Next up for Decarie ...see the rest at fightnews.com.
I doubt he is broke. He just never wanted to leave in the first place. Pride still makes him believe he can do it in the ring. His heart never left the sport.Quote:

What is this guy thinking? Honestly!!
I don't think it's money, because I know he has started a jewelry line, and I think he has some real estate investments.
Maybe his ego just misses being in the spotlight. He seems like a pretty vain person, so he probably hates not having all that attention.
This is not good.Love Gatti but he is tumbling down the other side fast and his fighting pride may just get him hurt badly.You can fight all of the so-so wet noses with a undefeated record and he may look good.....?....but what does that get him over time?Another top billing on HBO against a quality capable young gun looking to use his name as a doormat into the big time?He has the right to make a living but.....dammit!!
i hope he's not broke
Well, another one that is seemingly having a mid life crisis and is going to try and go fishing for his youth. He should watch his fight with Floyd again and rethink it.
But hey; good luck to him, hope he doesn't end up rocking on the porch struggling to get a spoonful of Gerber split pea to his mouth.
I hope this isn't true if anyones seen a Gatti interview you know something changed in him theres no reason why he should fight.
Gatti spoke of a comeback the moment he retired.
He did a number of 3 and 4 round exhibitions and never stopped training as such.
I think for Gatti it may not really be about the money.
The guy gennuinely loves being in there and competing.
Which is odd seeing as he wasn't all that competitive towards the end:(
Just read it on fightnews.
NO!

YUP! It's official, I've thrown up on my laptop!
I should dig up a shot from Oulette/Hilton1,the ref looked like he had just been working in a MASH unit by the time it was over

Seriously Mick I have no idea. I just remember the Floyd fight because I had my hands over my eyes 1/2 the time; which means I saw 3 rounds;D
Gomez did beat the crap out of him though:p
and Gomez sucked. Or to be politically correct, nowwhere near elite.
