Mayweather 147; Hatton 145

The British crowd was its usual raucous self when the official weigh-in for the undisputed welterweight championship of the world got underway.  The #1 P4P fighter in the world and world welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather weighed in at 147, while the undefeated world junior welterweight champion Ricky Hatton weighed in at 145.  The two fighters posed face to face and had to be seperated after a little shoving.  Hatton adressed the crowd and had this to say, "Who did you come to see, Floyd or me?  Who's taking the belts?  Let's (explative) have him."  There is no need to tell you what the answers were from the pro Hatton crowd.  On a side note, Bernard Hopkins and Joe Calzaghe also had to be seperated as the British crowd got Hopkins riled up by directing expletives at the light heavyweight champion.
