No exception in this one. Even after being called a coward, a ducker, a fraud, a chicken, being boo'd, being disrespected, even the boo'ing of the national anthem, he was still nothing but class after the fight, as he is in ALL his fights afterwords. Hatton pissed a moaned, Mayweather gave the British fans and Hatton more respect then they deserved. Any lesser man would have said **** yall and went about his business, he actually congragulated Hatton after the fight like TRUE champion. Eat crow you schmucks.
Yeah Mayweather always has class. All that pre fight stuff is to sell the fight. He has to play the bad guy against guys like Delahoya and Hatton and Gatti.. Against Judah he was kinda the good guy. It's all about selling the PPVs, He's a good guy at heart.
He showed lots of class towards Hatton, I think he truely respects him as a fighter. Was good to see.
24/7 would have been pretty boring with 2 humble guys. Someone has to play the bad guy. At the end of the day, Hatton was still making excuses while Floyd was giving props to Hatton.
He's shows his humanity with his friends and family, with his children, when he's giving to countless charities throughout Grand Rapids, to anyone who wants to chat with him. He doesnt need to show schmucks anything but will make their dumbasses buy his fights. And after he gives his opponents who he embarasses much more respect then they deserve.
He absolutely truely did give Hatton huge respect and I was also proud of him considering the 1000's of threads we've had to endure about what a "*****" he is and that's why despite his talents NO ONE hardly liked him even inside the ring. Hatton was all excuses and never showed any respect to Floyd or Americans but I guess he does play a hell of a game of darts on Thursdays.
110% true!!! And the sad fact of it was all along is that when he "tried" to be Clubber Lang just to sell fights not even the most intelligent analyst that ESB is proud to be known for couldn't differentiate between the two personas, even though he was so transparent when trying to be a bad guy. PBF is a great champion and it has tried to be pointed out all along that it was just TV and acts to sell the fight to the general public. What has really been the **** kicker over the last couple months is that people repeatedly were picking Hatton simply on the fact that they thoght PBF was an ass hole, completely disregarding all of his talents.
Really? I was in a bar and couldnt hear the interviews. Thats ****ed if Hatton didnt give him props, because it was clear after the fight that Floyd gave him his.
