    :huh Wasn't he supposed to be the champion at that division?

    Or were they fighting for Manny's P4P title? :rofl

    . . . because he is challenging for the p4p #1 title.

    They both have titles . . . but the #1 P4P rankings carries more weight than Hatton's title.

    The minute I saw that and his fans showed absolutely no acknowledgement to his walk to ring I knew Hatton would get ****ed up.

    It's not an official title . . . but it carries more weight and recognition than IBO title.

    Well . . . they already created a precedence here.

    Team Hatton agreed with the arrangement because he openly admitted he is challenging for that P4P #1 ranking.

    That's ****ing stupid. Eventually they will make a belt for the p4p title and it will be instantly transferable... a welterweight will have it then challenge a middle weight, the middleweight will win it and challenge a light heavyweight, the lightheavyweight will win it and challenge a heavyweight, the heavyweight will win it then no one in any weight division other than heavyweight will be able to be p4p no 1.. thus contradicting the whole point of p4p status... muhahaha!

    it's tradition that the challenger enters first and i think is also introduced first.

    it is just right that the favored fighter enters the ring last
