No way fucking way he'll get 15 million for that fight. I doubt that many people ordered the fight.

Even if he gets half of that. for 2 months of training thats not bad. I doubt he even trained for that long. Imo, he's still the winner. Thats alot of money.

Mayweather is THE most boring fighter in the world. Granted he is skilled defensively, but damn if that isnt a snorefest to watch.

Mayweather by decision (like always). He will just outscore Hatton, but neither fighter will be really hurt, like most Mayweather bouts.

1 million is more than he deserves for the condition he showed up in and his performance.

Thats why he was never a great fighter. He never put the time into boxing to become a great boxer. He had it all, but the work ethic. It kind of pisses me off as i am Mexican myself. Most Mexican boxers are always in great shape during every fight.

He looked pretty ripped at his training camp, I wonder what happened.

Anyways, he's had some entertaining fights, but he could never pull off a win in any big fights (Trinidad, de la Hoya, Mosley). He was thrown to the sharks too early in his career. He's only 29, he should be in his prime.

Plus, I lost a lot of respect for him when he tested positive for steroids after the de la Hoya fight.

Yeah, i just dont think he was 100 percent focused on boxing ever. He had all the talent in the world. Like you said though, to much fame way to early may have made him lose focus.

So final 24/7 episode aired. I'm probably buying into the hype, but I don't think I can't buy this fight (Whoa double negative).

I definitely think Mayweather is the safe bet, but Hatton seems so driven, I would not be surprised if he wins.

As I said before, I'll post some Sopcast links for those interested once I find out where it is being aired.

Yeah I just watched the last episode too and it just makes Mayweather look like more of an asshole.

At one point in the episode he has a cameraman in his Maybach and says "see that light? See what color it is?" and just runs two red lights.

Its going to be close with a decision going to Mayweather just based on points. I really hope Hatton KO's Mayweather or atleast knocks him down a couple times. Im going out to some pizza joint to watch it.

And Mosley apparently used EPO.

I am sure they're the only two in boxing who use banned substances

Personally hoping Hatton clobbers him, but I don't really expect him to. Probably wear himself out punching arms and taking some potshots to tilt the score slightly in Mayweathers favor.

Yeah thats one of his titles he owns.

Great moment. He should have thanked god for his big mouth, because hes certainly not selling PPVs on entertainment value.



How much longer is Larry going to be around?

I heard hes got a replacement already, is he anything like Merchant? Or is he a new personality? If its a new personality ill probably lose even more interest in boxing. I love the way he dresses up his words to piss the fighters off just enough to look stupid while Larry smirks at another mission accomplished.

bahaha i laughed out loud at this post fight interview again. Every time I click it its instant laughs.

I hate Larry Merchant. He needs to just give it up. I used to like Ferdie Pacheco. He was cool.
