The fight looks to be competitive after Ricky's impressive 4th round dismantling of contender Jose Luis Castillo on June 23 when he was a -200 boxing odds favorite at Bodog.com. Mayweather is fresh off a close decision win against Jr. Middleweight Oscar De La Hoya on May 5 as a-170 betting favorite at Sportbet.com. Everyone in the boxing world is salivating to see this matchup of two elite fighters in their prime. The fight will have an interseting clash of styles as Floyd is an expert boxer while Hatton is a pressure fighter with some pop. Hatton will be making the move up to 147 lbs. to meet the Welterweight Champ Mayweather. The gate of this event should produce phenomenal numbers mainly due to Hatton's enormous popularity in the UK where he is like a rock star.

The deal is all but signed for Floyd Maweather Jr. vs Ricky Hatton to go off December 8 in Las Vegas. It didn't take much trash talking from Jr. Welterweight Champ Ricky Hatton to convince Pound-4-Pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. to come out of retirement.
