    I wouldn't say he's laughing....he seems to be in poor spirits. Hatton is not like Mayweather. If Mayweather would have lost and made $40 he may have been alright with that just b/c he got to line his pockets with some major $$$.....but Hatton seems to be very affected by the first loss of his career and even though $40mill is a lot of money it's not the most important thing to Hatton......Winning is! Hes just a very competitive fellow. But he should be happy with this payday even if he did loose in a one sided fight.. You could still see he gave his all.

    LOL...Where have you been....the Dollar is at an all time low!!! The Eruo is 2 times more than what the dollar is worth. You are backwards in your assesment. The Dollar was worth more before president bush.

    They both get what they Ultimately want most from Boxing, FLoyd gets his biggest Payday yet, Hatton gets his chance to revenge his only loss.

    I think the UK fans are dissapointed that Hatton did not win...NOT that they are dissapointed in Hatton b/c you can't be dissapointed for one giving his all! But The British fans really wanted to see Floyd get shut the **** up as did many US fans, but of course the outcome was Floyd KOing Hatton due to better skills, talent and reflexes.

    There are no gurantees in boxing...anyone can have a good night and upset the best, but in boxing it's all about intelligent predicitions using records, previous fight, level of opposition and experience as a measuing stick to "Predict" the outcome of any fight.

    Using these variables as the base of this equation it would let on that Hatton has a very small chance at beating Floyd...maybe he does better b/c he saw what floyd has to offer, but on the flip side Floyd also saw what Hatton brings to the table and can make adjustments for a more dominant preformance.

    Problem is....there won't be much "EXCITMENT" the 2nd time round for the US boxing fans b/c of the onesidedness of their initial meeting. Floyd doesn't have a STRONG following of fans like a DLH or Hatton does in his backyard. So while it will make sense for Hatton to avenge his only loss, for Floyd he'd be taking less money to beat up on a previous victim who ended up making a **** load more than he did for winning the actual fight. Like I said...I'd watch the fight, but there aren't many who would pay $55 again for a carbon copy rematch of the first fight.

    You are looking at it as it stands 4 days out, in 6 months to a year, say Hatton has smashed in to Oblivion a couple of contenders, kept his weight consistently at 145-150 when not fighting, maybe even sharpened up his defence, people will soon forget and think Hatton has a chance again.I honestly think it will have woken Hatton up to the fact that he cant lose 40 pounds twice a year and spend 6 months drinking/eating like he has been and hope to beat someone like Floyd, who never strays over 10 pounds above his fighting weight.

    How would it be a closer fight? Mayweather would just weigh in at 140 instead of 147 and he would still fight at 147...What would change? Floyd would shed some water weight right before the weigh-in then gain it back like 99% of boxers do what does that change about the fight??

    Nobody seems to be able to answer this question yet some many people believe it makes a difference...Can anybody explain what the difference would be?

    Oh...of course...but you are only as good as your last performance in boxing....4 days out there is no reason to be discussing rematch. If Hatton can change his style a bit to combat a truly great boxers offense he could have a better chance at winning but right now seems a bit "jumping the gun" calling for a rematch.
