Mayweather-Hatton is the greatest thing for boxing in YEARS!!!

It's a great fight. Two undefeated world champions fighting for the title at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas! Boxing at it's best.

Mayweather will be 39-0

 

i love this!!! all my friends who dont know **** abuot boxing are running aroudn tryin gto find a place to watch the fight, today is nuts and i love it!

 

thank mayweather for bringing some spotlight to boxing. people hate on his flashy ways but it helps bring attention to the sport of boxing

 

There were as many threads for Calzaghe-Kessler and Mosley-Cotto; probably more for Mayweather-DLH

 

In the UK this one if far bigger publicly then both those fights put together and some more.

Personally I havent been so exited about a fight since Bruno/Tyson 1(being a Brit)

 

That's ridiculous. This isn't one-tenth as important as Calzaghe-Kessler was, and won't be one-twentieth as exciting as Mosley-Cotto.

 

What are you talking about. No one outside weathered boxing fans really talked about those fights. Publicly this is way bigger. Ive no idea about in the States but in the UK its a no brainer.

Mosley-Cotto? Yea the UK public when ape**** over that one!

 

Outside of NYC, this is probably much bigger than both in the US as well. But that doesn't mean it deserves to be. This is such a pointless and easily predictable fight, especially after Mayweather-DLH. Maybe before that fight there may have been some justification in entertaining the notion of a Mayweather-Hatton matchup, but certainly not after. Calzaghe-Kessler was a milestone for the division and in terms of actual significance probably dwarfs any other fight in 2007. Mosley and Cotto, stylistically, were a recipe for success; whereas Mayweather and Hatton, stylistically, are a recipe for probable boredom with a slim chance of marginal excitement (but still not in the same stratosphere as Calzaghe-Kessler, let alone Mosley-Cotto).

 

You both missed my point COMPLETELY. Congratulations! :hi:

I wasn't talking about revenue or public interest - those things don't matter to me and are not effective measures of a fight's worthiness...just the marketing dollars behind it and the starpower involved (which again, means nothing if you take any of this seriously).

 

This statement still stands. Both of your objections were invalid, because both of you seemed to think I was stating either of these two fights was "bigger" in monetary or public awareness terms than "Undefeated". Not the case. Try actually reading and comprehending. :good

Basically, you said in the UK this fight was bigger than both others combined. I did NOT refute that fact. I don't live there, I wouldn't know. When I said that's ridiculous, I wasn't referring to your claim that it was bigger than both combined - I was calling the UK public ridiculous for making a bigger deal out of it. The content of your assertion, and not the veracity of your assertion, is what I was calling ridiculous. This is probably where both of your confusion stemmed, which I will chalk up 90% to poor reading comprehension on both your parts and maybe 10% to slightly confusing phrasing on my part.

 

i remember the week of the pbf-dlh fight was insane, no other topics!

Ok maybe I was a bit cranky there, sorry. I just hate when I think I've expressed myself clearly and am still misconstrued.
