Mayweather to fight Quintana, Salita or Matthew Hatton in the UK?

This would not surprise me at all. :shakehead:


FIGHTHYPE \\ MAYWEATHER EYES HATTON, SALITA OR QUINTANA IN THE UK INSTEAD OF PACQUIAO?


:chick07mj8:

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.......that is quite sad!

How anyone can try and defend that is way beyond me. Mayweather is back and ONLY for the money. Of this there can be no doubt. If these fights are made then people should really wash their hands of Mayweather once and for all.

No sources? I doubt it's true... A few weeks ago we heard Mayweather wanted to fight Chavez Jr... that died so im hoping this will too. The Pacquiao fight is too much money to turn away... If it's true i will lose tons of respect for Floyd...

If he is using it as a tune up while he waits for the Pac fight i cant see a problem with it. If Pac has a busted ear drum and broken hand he might be out for a bit.

If it's just a tune-up prior to a show-down with Pacquiao then I have no problem with it.

Agreed

Mayweather just fought a podgy blown up LW and people are trying to justify another "tune up"?

These tune ups will have consisted of an entire year of the mans career and will even then net him a fortune because ignorant people will be duped into believing that the fights have significance.

I see no justification in fighting any of these fighters.

Quintana can't be considered a smaller fighter

I can agree if Pac is going to be healing from his injuries. Pac is allowed that and PBF must fight on. Otherwise, PBF needs to go right at Pac. But I really am not the type to read an internet story that reveals no confirmed resources and be all over it like I had an inch to hate. So I will disregard this story until further proof like the other 5 or 6 PBF rumors I've read on an internet story that revealed no confirmed resources.

Not a tune up fight but if Pac is injured and is going to be out for a while it makes sense to fight some tune-up type of fighter till Pac returns.. Ofcourse that's pending on Pac's status

Quintana would be a tough opponent for a tune up. i think Hatton and Salita would be a waste of time tho.

Mayweather talks about not wanting to face fighters because of losses on their records. In that sense why on earth would he consider fighting a guy Paul Williams went and blasted out in a round? I agree that Quintana is better than the other two, but it is not a fight that anyone has any expecations of and surely wasn't the reason Mayweather came back. Or perhaps it was....the path to make money for the least risk possible? It's been a well worn road for Mayweather in recent years.

These wont happen, a fight against Matthew Hatton would be a complete joke, no chance.

I can see why people admire Mayweather because of his talent in the ring ... but it is now very clear that he is a Cherrypicker. A fighter always look good when fighting opponents below their caliber.

And no its not OK for PBF to fight these guys before waiting for Pacs injury to heal. He should be fighting Mosley or Berto or even Clottey.

Clottey is a good call, now that's a fight I can get interested in.

There's nothing in there about doing this cause Pac is hurt BTW

Looking at this if you're a Mayweather fan you have to think would I criticize Pacquaio for doing this, would I say he's ducking, etc.? And vice versa. I'm a Pacquaio fan but if this is just a tune up I can deal with it. If he's going on some European tour, not so much.

Maybe Pacquaio should take a tune up in the Phillipines?

Edit, fuck that in a way, he should not fight Matthew Hatton. ;D Sorry but just no. That's messed up. Really Salita too. The fact is none of these guys, no offense to any of them, are NOT tough fights as tune ups or as any kind of fights for Floyd. They're sparring sessions. But if he's gonna have a sparring session it should be against Quintana.

Honestly i think it's false... inside sources whatever nothing is official let's sit back and wait till Floyd speaks out then we can judge the guy... We have heard nothing from team Mayweather about him fighting these guys so let's sit back and chill because if you think about none of the above fighters make sense, i don't see no ppv in fighting none.. Matthew hatton seriously.. lol i don't believe none of this

The fact that it's an anonymous source in this case leads me to believe this is a tabloid.

You really think Floyd would fight Salita right after Khan destroys him? Not a chance.

I bet someone overheard someone Ellerbe a joke and reported it as fact.
I don't believe this for a second.

Yeah right. that's seems to be a Floyd move to me. ;D

There will be a million of thse stories before fight time. Maybe, but NO WAY he fights Matthew Hatton instead of just taking on Ricky Hatton.

Hahaha, I love these "anonymous" stories - You can almost guarantee you'll see the same posters come on to the thread and latch on to it like it's truth!

Mayweather is a chicken
Mayweather is a runner
Mayweather had a tune up already against the P4P 3rd in the world :confused:
Mayweather wants to fight Matthew Hatton (if you believe that, you believe in father fuckin christmas)

Boring, boring...boring.

4 things recently that Floyd has said PERSONALLY that he may be scrutinised for :-

He is in this more for money, than legacy. (granted)
WHEN he knocks out Pacquaio he still won't get respect.
If Pacquaio wants a fight, call me out.
He would like to do a world tour in the future. (maybe where the rumours of all these fighters have come from)

Where the hell did he ever mention, Salita/Quintana/Mathhew?

If it's true then it should be a tune up fight against Mosley or Clottey. I think those two can rake in the money much better than Salita, Hatton, and other non-elite boxers since Floyd fights for the money after all.

Tune up my a$$. :p

Mayweather is all low risk, high reward these days. He knows that if he fights one of these guys in the US, he would not be able to sell out the arena, but take it on the road over to UK, and he knows that no matter who he's fighting, it will get sold out.

Do you really think that he's going to get into the ring with Manny? I sure as $hit don't, he's to afraid of losing that zero on his record. Mayweather will make such ridiculous demands during any negotiations, that it will make it impossible to strike a deal. Then he'll put all the blame on Manny and his team, saying that Manny didn't want to fight him.

Just guessing here, but I wouldn't be surprised if the source for this story is Mayweather Sr., he talks to one of the main writers of the site all the time.

I really doubt Mayweather would sell out a 7-11 parking lot in UK fighting Salita or Matt Hatton and I dont believe it for a second.. I could have sworn I read a report that hours after the fight Schaffer had the OK to start negoiating with Arum for this.

There is no way in hell Floyd gaffs this bizillion dollar payday and shot at history by passing on Pac. Even his staunchest haters cough...cough.. Danny and Diane surely cant believe that....

Pac looked busted up and Floyd taking a stay busy fight in the interim against a Quintana esque fighter, I have no problem with seeing Mayweather shouldnt stay on the shelf for a year waiting for Pac to heal + training camp etc.. but seriously Salita or Matt Hatton doubt it.... I might just stop watching boxing and delete my account here if thats the case.

This absolutely has to be some kind of joke or bogus story. With all due respect, the very fact that the notions of Matthew Hatton or Mayweather with another Tune-Up are mentioned in this article plain and utter ridiculous. Matthew Hatton is terrible and Mayweather can absolutely not get away with having another tune-up fight, no way.....

If Mayweather fought in London against anybody, it would sell out. Thousands of people turned up to catch a glimpse of him going to a training session. The only excuse for not fighting Pacquiao would be fighting the Mosley-Berto winner or Paul Williams. But anyone who believes that article either hates Mayweather too much for their own good or lacks the ability to reason. No way would he fight Matthew Hatton :rolleyes:

Hell, if he wants a tune-up in the UK, he'll rematch Ricky Hatton or fight Amir Khan.

JT I don't believe for a second he'd fight Matthew Hatton (cause my head would explode) but that would sell out in England no doubt.

Edit-What Jaz said too.

As Killer said the weird name is Salita cause of the Khan fight.

I get why people are discrediting the article, a couple of the names seem odd, but would anybody be shocked if he fought Quintana in kind of a tune up fight and did it in England to make it an event? I wouldn't personally.

I actually also don't mind the idea of the fight slowly building for a year or so instead of having it 5 or 6 months from now.

Don't tell me "He won't because Pac is so good...he won't because he doesn't want to fight him..." no no no no, I just wonder what people will say if Mayweather beats Pac convincingly.

This is one of the first of hundreds of stories that are to come over the next few months saying Mayweather or Manny is going to fight somebody else, the fight is off, etc.

I'd actually like to see that. Just to see Chavez get beat up and lose. Not sure why, but I can't stand the guy!

Mayweather don't want to fight Pacquiao and never did! Just BS...

He's chicken Sh&t! scared of losing his Zero. "Mathew Hatton" good choice Floyd :rolleyes:

[“We're trying to make a deal, not break a deal," Ellerbe said.

Shane Mosley apparently is Mayweather’s backup option, just as a third fight with Marquez appears to be Pacquiao’s.

Mosley is scheduled to fight Andre Berto in January.

“If a deal can’t be reached, and if Shane beats Berto, we’ll look into the possibility of fighting him,” Ellerbe said.

There also has been unsubstantiated talk about Mayweather taking an interim fight in January, possibly in England against Matthew Hatton, Ricky Hatton’s brother.]

Mayweathers in it for the money, no way he'll fight Matthew Hatton it won't generate enough to justify taking the fight. All the talk about different opponents is to try and gain leverage in the negotiations for Pac-Mayweather. I would lose all respect for Mayweather if he fought Hatton instead but that isn't going to happen

Matthew hatton is the silliest choice ever, even as a tune up plan. It's like if I would get some credits on Saddo and would propose to fight Charlie Zelenoff before my next challenge.
