Has Golden Boy inked Ricky Hatton?

On December 8, 2007 undefeated pound for pound Picasso Floyd Mayweather Jr will face undefeated junior welterweight champion Ricky Hatton. Mayweather told Boxingtalk.com, "I'm glad he stepped up. You know what they say? Be careful what you wish for, well he's going to get it." HBO PPV will televise. The bout will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Mandalay Bay or MGM Grand for Mayweather's welterweight championship. Mayweather promotions and Golden Boy Promotions will co-promote the event. Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaeffer was unavailable for immediate comment, but one has to wonder if Golden Boy Promotions has inked the Pride of Manchester since it has no promotional contract with Mayweather.
