Hatton defeats Castillo, Floyd Mayweather Jr. next?The crowd at the Thomas and Mack Centre in Las Vegas was packed with British celebrities like Robbie Williams and footballers like Wayne Rooney for the Ricky Hatton vs. Jose Luis Castillo fight on Saturday night. Wayne Rooney is no stranger to fame and fortune but looked genuinely humbled after carrying Ricky Hatton's world title belt into the ring in Las Vegas.

The Manchester United football star accompanied Mexican boxing legend Marco Antonio Barrera into the ring as they held up Hatton's IBO and "Ring" belts prior to fight. Hatton (43-0, 31 KOs) knocked Castillo out with a left hook to the body in the 4th round. After the shot to the ribs, Jose Luis Castillo walked over to the side of the ring and took a knee and never came up until after the ten count.

When asked about Floyd Mayweather, Jr. after the fight by Max Kellerman, Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton stated, “There was more action in 4 rounds tonight then in Floyd Mayweather’s entire career!”

Point-Spreads.com, the oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com and boxing fans around the world would love to see a fight between Ricky Hatton vs. Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

"He got Floyd's attention. Now we're calling his bluff," Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather's adviser, said yesterday. "All he has to do is make a deal and he'll have his chance to back up all that talk. All that's standing between him and Floyd is air and opportunity. We can make the deal this week."

Rooney has been a good friend of Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton from Manchester for a number of years. Wayne and Ricky's girlfriends Coleen and Jessica actually hung out and watched the fight together. Other British celebrities in attendance included Max Beesley, Robbie Williams, Rio Ferdinand, Brian Robson, Titus Bramble, Kieron Dyer and Shaun Wright Phillip.

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels stars Vinny Jones and Jason Statham were almost in character as the two tough men watched the match excitedly. After the fight, the group headed off to party the night away in Las Vegas to celebrate Hatton’s convincing win over Jose Luis Castillo.
