Hatton & Mayweather start the fight early
This gives me even more reason to be excited for the Hatton vs. Mayweather fight. We'll be watching it at my place on Saturday night so, if any of you want to come over, just let me know.Boxing: Hatton and rival pulled apart after hotel scuffle
Ricky Hatton had to be pulled apart from his rival Floyd Mayweather in a post-press conference commotion at the MGM Grand Garden here yesterday ahead of Saturday's showdown with WBC world welterweight champion.
Hatton and Mayweather engaged in a shoving match during the obligatory head-to-head which ended with the "Hit Man" dispensing with his usual cheery persona and aiming a throat-slitting gesture at the champion.
After the pair were pulled apart Hatton revealed: "He leaned on me a little bit I just leaned back on him and he spat his dummy out. He isn't pushing me back.
"There's a time for me to laugh and joke and be my usual sarcastic self but the fight's two days away now and I've done my laughing and joking. When I leaned back on him he said 'don't touch me, don't touch me'. I gave him a little bit of the 'you're dead' gesture then I smiled at him. If he's annoyed at that wait till the bell rings." continue
