SMH @ Floyd Mayweather on Dancing With the Stars While He Trains for Hatton

If PBF can somehow manage to get through this without having to talk it might help his cause. otherwise, not.

 

I wonder if Floyd will really put on a show or will be content to just finish the dance and do enough moves to get points from the judges?

w/his FOOTWORK & the Coaching of a PROFESSIONAL Dancer,it Wouldn't Surprise REED if Floyd Lasted Awhile...

Mark Cuban is Gonna B on the Show as Well...He's even MORE Irritating than Floyd is Accused of Being...& he's a CLOSET Homosexual...

Trinidad-DLH did 1.4 million buys. Tito never had a fight on his own that did 700,000 or more. In fact, I'm not sure any of his other PPVs ever exceeded 600,000.

Prior to DLH, all (three) of Floyd's PPVs were in the 325,000-375,000 range. Hatton's one PPV (against Maussa) didn't produce any earth shattering results. Plus, aren't PPV results only for North America? So far, we still don't even know if Hatton has a fanbase over here; the lion share of his past three stateside bouts (or at least his two in Vegas) have been Brits who flew across the pond to attend.

 

His Bout w/Bernard was Probably Tito's Next Biggest Seller & it Did Right Around 500,000 Buys...

The Mayorga Comeback PPV Might have Done Good #'s,REED can't Remember...

I've read reports ranging from 420k to 475k for Trinidad-Mayorga.

 

Trinidad/Mayorga did little over 300K.

The Felix Trinidad-Ricardo Mayorga middleweight fight promoted by Don King on HBO Sports has reportedly generated 420,000 pay-per-view buys. The fight was seen on 160,000 satellite systems and on 260,000 cable boxes.

Trinidad-Mayorga - 420,000

HBO revised its numbers to 470,000 PPV buys and over $23 million in revenue. The fight held at New York City's Madison Square Garden marked the return of Puerto Rican icon Felix 'Tito' Trinidad after a self-imposed two year hiatus. Trinidad decimated Mayorga on his way to an 8th round TKO victory.

 

Mayweather can perform on Danicing With the Stars the same night as the fight and still wipe Hatton up with the floor. Matter of fact, he SHOULD. F*ck it.

 

Hatton KO1 Azumah

Tito-Vargas did somewhere around 575,000. I forget if it was that bout or Shane-DLH I which was the highest selling PPV that year (2001).

 

Hatton couldn't beat Pat Caldwell .

Poor Ricky is in deep shit when he tries to get inside and realizes Floyd is not only stronger than him, but is also a better in-fighter. I can just see his reaction now...:eeeek: ...:doh: ...:dunno: ...

He's gonna get massacred. I swear, I haven't seen Floyd sign a contract that fast since Gatti.

 

The fight with Baldomir did too. Then his next fight he sets the PPV record.

 

trinidad never did shit for payperview sales before facing delahoya. same goes for hopkins and mosley.

you're foolish if u think being involved in the biggest ppv ever and defeating delahoya won't boost mayweathers profile.

when are the dates they film this tv show from,

 

people will undoubtedly tune in again to see another gripping performance from PBF. they wanna know - is he gonna throw another left upper-cut/righ hand combination to his opponent's gloves?

 

I bought the fight to see if De la Hoya would fall on the floor as soon as a weak body shot landed.

 

More anti Euro bias from IMDAZED.

Tell me, how many Hatton fights have you seen?

 

Anti-Euro bias? Do you know me? Or do you just think you do because I don't suck Joe Calzaghe's cock?

I've been watching Ricky Hatton since he was defending his coveted WBU belt against the likes of Ben Tackie and Vince Phillips. And yes, Mayweather's gonna kick his ass. Anything else?

 

I say anti Euro bias because you seem to have little knowledge or respect for ANY Euro fighter. Am I wrong?

Because you don't suck Calzaghe's cock? Who said you should? I am not even a calzaghe fan. But he is legit as we've discussed before.

The fact is, you're completely ignorant about the Euro boxing scene. You condemned Joe and Kessler's resume because you didn't recognize the Euro names on there, and they are not big stars in the US.

I am probably closer to a Kessler hater than a fan, but the guy has a decent resume, much, much better than Lacy, and you acted like they were peas in a pod as far as resumés go.

And now you're spouting utter fucking bullshit, floyd is stronger and a better infighter? ::

Floyd may well kick Hatton's ass. Afterall he is considered the P4P champ for a reason, and he is going to be the favourite in this fight for a reason.

But seriously, stop talking shit. Go and watch Floyd against Castillo, either fight is fine, then watch Hatton against Castillo and tell me that Floyd is stronger and a better infighter ::

Maybe use your journalistic powers to get hold of JCL and ask him too.

 

Not that I care but...Yes, you are wrong.

Lemme guess...it's not about Calzaghe but...your entire post is about Calzaghe-Kessler.

Right....and you base this on what exactly? How do you know I don't know who is who? And what does this have to do with Maywea...oh wait...read what I wrote above.

Never said that but hey, why let facts get in the way of a good argument? You're on a roll.

Yes, that's what I'm spouting. Care to debate the finer points or was my assertion part of the Euro conspiracy?

I agree...except, according to you, not for those reasons. Just cuz I hate those Euros.

And I'm talking sh*t? LOL. No thanks. I've seen those fights and, unlike you, I can discern an aging fighter from one in his prime. You should try it some time.

Ask him what?

 

Where's Xplosive? :laughing:

 

Ask him who's the stronger of the 2 and the better infighter you mook ::

An aging fighter? Sure, he's a few years older. But he is not shot.

He was the same old Castillo, just a few years older, perhaps a tad slower to pull the trigger. But he was always a slow starter anyway. And shouldn't we be giving Hatton a bit of credit for making JCL look bad seeing as he was on him, mauling the shit out of him from the opening bell?

Did you also think castillo looked old when he KO'd corrales in 4 rounds, looking more impressive than their first fight? Or has he aged over exponentially since then? In his last couple of fights?

If you want to say Floyd is a far superior fighter, fine, that he'll school hatton no problem, you may also have reason - but that he's stronger and a better infighter? That's groupie jive. What do you base this on exactly?

 

LOL there's no way Floyd is stronger and a better inside fighter. ::

 

Against bullish opponents, Fraud is quite pathetic on the inside THUS the ARRAY of ILLEGAL tactics he implements,..such as,.. head palming/pushing, elbow flicks, forearms to the throat, all "keep aways for god sakes".

 

Ah, Mex! Now you're talkin to me baby!

Yes, I do believe Castillo grew old overnight. Kinda like how Corrales did. The guy is 33, has initiated more wars than the Bushes and was fighting the first opponent who was stronger than him. Fighters like him don't go too far past 30 in those weight classes anyway.

He looked absolutely dreadful against Reyes, following that spectacular KO of Corrales. And that was the first REAL sign. When was the last time you've seen Jose Luis Castillo start out slugging...and then opt to box? He got tagged plenty in that bout, looked slower and sluggish. And then turned around and looked equally sluggish against Ngoudjo.

Throw in the countless battles he's had, the struggles to make weight, and then fighting a powerhouse 140-pounder and what do you get? You know a fighter is on his last legs when he just doesn't want to get up off the canvas. Not disrespecting the man but he's lost a lot of juice.

Why do I say Floyd's a stronger fighter? First, his strength is extremely underrated. For a guy who has little pop, he sure surprised when he rocked the sturdy chin of De La Hoya. And he won plenty of battles in the lower divisions on the INSIDE - Chavez, Augustus, and many other bouts where he showed those skills. Flip in the first Castillo bout (you know, the one you told me to go watch?) and skip to rounds 10 or 11 (it's been a while). Listen to Roger tell Floyd to get on the inside and fight. And then watch the round and tell me Floyd can't fight inside. You haven't seen it as much as he's encountered welters.

Hatton, on the other hand, didn't look like the overpowering warrior against Louis Collazo, not the strongest guy in the division, with far less skill than a Mayweather. And he won't be overly powerful against Mayweather, who is thanking his lucky stars that someone is coming UP in weight to fight him, instead of a natural welter or junior middle.

I like Hatton, I think he's a good champ and can dominate the 140lb. division for years. He's a smart fighter - listening to his quotes about Kostya prior to their bout, one could see that he'd spent a lot of timing watching what Phillips did to him. Couple that with his fighting style and it was all over for Tyszu.

But his strength - his greatest attribute - will be neutralized by moving up. It'll look even worse against a p4p talent like Floyd. Floyd will potshot him on the outside and make him pay when he comes in - like Collazo did in the later rounds. And Floyd will work that body too. I expect Hatton to start fast but fade in the middle as Mayweather puts on his best performance in years. 8th round TKO. Hey, I've been wrong before.

 

Yeah and Ricky Hatton is a saint.

 

:nono: No way sir, I'm not saying that. This fight is going to be an unprecedented STATIC BALL of illegal impliments in-close.

 

This post is a 8th round TKO. :bears: :bears: I'll Holla 5000
