Well that is what I meant.
Leonard thinks white 20 somethings are the world. Of course, all MMA has left is to try to shoot down boxing. MMA is dying, but they will always have 2006 lol.
anyways, Mayweather fights usually suck to watch, but a lot of people will watch it hoping he gets his butt kicked.
Well that is what I meant.
so true. HBO boxing destroyed the UFC at the box office this year. The DLH/Mayweather and Mayweather/Hatton fights alone will bring in as much, if not more money than all of the UFC's PPVs this year. Too bad the annoying fans still feel the need to bring it up in EVERY boxing thread. And that ESPN poll proves nothing. Half the people who voted for MMA over boxing probably aren't even a real fan of either sport anyway. MMA's numbers have been down across the board this year, and boxing's have been up across the board.
I can't justify spending my money on this one, on one hand you have mayweather whose defense first syle is absolutely boring vs Hatton whose clutch and hit style is ugly. I'm tired of Mayweather pulling a Roy Jones on the fans just carefully choosing his opponents low risk high reward then claiming he's the best.
yeah serioulsy who the cares if more people like mma, i highly doubt MMA will ever be as big as boxing was in its hayday. Mma is the same as wwf except its real.
Btw Hatton wins.
Not that I don't agree with your points but as someone who truely love the art of boxing I can appreciate a defensive fight. I don't know about Hatton being cherry picked or anything, he's a good fighter and certainly earned a shot.
Hatton will get his ass kicked.
I too enjoy the art of boxing but I find Mayweather to be slightly more entertaining than Cory Spinks, what gets me is that Mayweather speaks as if he were a brawler when he's not.
I know Hatton is a good fighter but he's not a 147 lb fighter which is where this fight is taking place, there are other more formidable fighters at 147 that Mayweather isn't going to fight. I believe Hatton got the call because Mayweather saw how Ricky struggled fighting at 147 with Luis Collazo who is also a slick boxer. Now that being said I hope Hatton pull off the upset.
I'll be seeing this fight and im pulling for a Hatton win.
LMAO @ thinks he's a brawler. I see that too and it annoys me. Who else would you rather see at 147?
I think Mayweather is incapable of being outboxed.
But it would be cool to see him get cold ed
I'd rather see him fight Cotto,Clottey,Margarito,or Paul Williams I think any of those four would make for a better fight but I doubt he's up to the challenge.
Care to back that up with some proof?
And Boxing fans spill over to the MMA threads all the time as well.
2 way street.
I think hatton will win this fight
anybody watching this? what is going on?

ESPN gave the first round to Hatton
Round 1

Lovely straight right from Mayweather. Hooks from Hatton. More warnings from Cortez. Hatton chases Mayweather around ring with hooks. All Ricky at the moment.

Darius Ortiz scores it: 10-9, Mayweather
Round 3
Leaping left hook from Hatton. Right hand out of a clinch from Hatton. Mayweather trying to tie up Hatton when up close, but Ricky staying on him. Hatton is keeping Floyd pinned to the ropes, but now Floyd lands excellent right-left-right in center ring. Hatton has a cut above his right eye.
Kieran Mulvaney scores it: 10-9, Hatton

Round 4
Mayweather seems like he has been able to get just a bit more distance, and as a result is landing some crisp punches. Good right from Floyd, and then another combo explodes off Ricky's jaw. Ricky is coming forward but not geting off many ounches at the moment. Looks like Floyd has started to figure him out.
Kieran Mulvaney scores it: 10-9, Mayweather
Darius Ortiz scores it: 10-9, Mayweather
Round 5
Hatton closing the distance again and smothering Mayweather. As soon as a bit of distance opens up, Mayweather lands a short right hand. Hatton goes back to swarming him along the ropes, but then Mayweatgher lands a two-punch combination in ring center. Honestly, I found that a relatively tough round to score as Hattonwas more aggressive, but Floyd's punches were sharper. I'm going with Ricky.
Kieran Mulvaney scores it: 10-9, Hatton
Darius Ortiz scores it: 10-9, Hatton
thx
I knew mayweather was gonna win, no point ordering this
I can't stand mayweather but he's the man
i will never understand how boxing is scored
Round 6
Mayweather is jabbing to the body. Nice left from Mayweather and a short right, as Hatton swarms him. Hatton hits Mayweather behnd the head and pushes him through the ropes and Cortez deducts a point. Hatton turns around and sticks his rear toward Floyd. Hatton coming forward with even more aggresion now, but Floyd catches hm coming in a couple of times. Crowd goes nuts when Floyd hits Ricky in the back of the head and Cortez doesn't do anything.
Kieran Mulvaney scores it: 10-8, Mayweather
Darius Ortiz scores it: 10-8, Mayweather
