    he was probably thinking along the lines of "there goes my $20,000,000 payday, oh well i guess i just have to knockout ricky hatton again"

    He had already had that thought the day of the Pacman fight.

    what if pac beats hatton (which is very likely) i dont think he will still want to face hatton, most likely he would want to fight pacquiao instead.

    Yep. Floyd already turned that rematch down and true boxing fans should be happy. The first fight was overhyped and the rematch mightve been the same. Mosley looks dangerous again I think a Mosley/Mayweather fight would be more exciting.
