review of yesterdays mayweather public workout

[leftylee]

If a boxer holds an open workout, then it is his responsibly to the fans to make sure they all get to experience something, otherwise why bother. He should have presigned some photos and had them handed out after. He could have signed 750 photos before he left his house, it wouldnt have taken that long. He could ave signed them over a 5 day period if he didnt have much time. But, he chose to have an open workout. If his fragile hands couldnt handle it, then he shouldnt to puplic apearances at all.

Actually he did. He came out to talk to all the fans who had stayed for hours before he left & signed gloves & photos for as many as he could before his security ended it. I was there, and believe me those who had waited were not disappointed at the end, so he did try give everyone an experience. It is not his responsibility to organize the infrastructure of how people get into the gym & the information given out, that is solely down to the host gym. Roger Mayweather also came out earlier to talk to people, and both he & Floyd were far better with the fans than I've seen Hatton & Calzaghe being. Using this as another stick to try & beat Mayweather with is just stupid. It's worth checking the other thread, with the pictures that Floyd took with Smash's kid.

Hatton didn't sign any gloves when I met him at a sportsmans dinner last year. And his agent Paul Speak was charging £20 for pictures with him and wouldn't let anybody use there own camera. Fortunately for me I had VIP tickets.

David Haye on the otherhand was fantastic. Signed everything for me and everybody else. There was an occasion when he was talking with a reporter and some guy standing behind me rudely butted in and asked for a picture in the middle of an interview. Haye however said sure no problem and told the interviewer to wait while he posed for a pic. Great guy.

I know a few people who know David Haye, & they always say he's cool & down to earth like that, funny that he gets this rep as a guy who's up his own arse when he's the opposite. Something that was also apparent with how Mayweather acted the other day.

I remember seeing Hatton & he wouldn't even sign gloves for kids which I thought was kinda fucked up, although I try to put that more down to the people around him like Speak & Williams, & one of the guys at my gym said Calzaghe refused to take pictures with people in Vegas before the Mayweather-Hatton fight.

I can tell you Hatton is a top bloke i have met him at a book sigining and on a night out and both times, proper freindly and had time to have a chat to anyone, even had a bit of banter about getting beat in the Floyd fight.

Mayweather aswell is a top bloke my mates went Vegas around the Hopkins/Calzaghe fight and Mayweather was in one of the casinos in the vip having a little private party my mates started shouting him, they say proper welcoming guy and was proper bigging up the British fans and had loads of pics with them.

Hatton may be a top bloke without his entourage. But with them he's a dick.
