Did you have access to the conference? Are you a journalist or did you manage to just walk in? Just curious really.

Open day from what I could gather. Arrived in a big red double decker routemaster, signed autographs, posed for photos for any/everyone. Matthew Hatton was there too talking about his fight with Judah.

I'm just a fan by the way.

What is noticeable is how important the UK market has become.

Hatton, and to a lesser extent Calzaghe, have made the UK Box Office and important aspect of a successful promotion, after all this is a yank and a Mexican fighting in America with no British interest beyond Judah smashing Matthew Hatton on the undercard.

Mayweather was keen to win over the UK fans.

Mayweather looks significantly bigger than JMM - given his speed advantage I can't help but feel he's going to walk it. Can't even see JMM making it remotely competitive.
As for Hatton, I remain astonished that he's going to get in the ring with Judah - at the risk of sounding harsh he's just going to be following in his brother's footsteps again, Ricky gets KO'ed by Pacman, Matthew gets KO'ed by Judah.

Looks like Floyd has seen something on one of the seats, was this the late night bus by any chance and hadn't been cleaned so it still had the remains of what the pissheads left behind.


Great pics though :TU:

Out of interest, what did Mayweather's T-shirt say? "I love..."

I'm betting it's not "daddy".

Need to get a sepcialised camera as my phone took some budget pics. Got a few good ones though

Crazy packed it was. Thayt gym is too small time for somone like Mayweather. Got in just seconds after they locked it off

Got him to autograph my pacman t-shirt after first refusing. They - his steroid enhanced bodyguards- didnt quite get that the t-shirt was not actually bigging up pacquaio but asking who would beat him

It was a madhouse, I ended up filming 'chunky' after introducing to the crowd in the gym on the pads with jimmy mac, as Floyd was too late,
I ended up leaving at 4, he turned up after I left, maybe 4.45 ish
