Ridiculous Promercial for Hatton/Mayweather in the US

Eric the Viking · Post by **Eric the Viking** » 06 Dec 2007, 12:58

Golden Boy Promotions has been buying half-hour blocks of time on less-used cable channels in my area [and likely all over the US] for their Hatton/Mayweather infomercial. It begins with clips of the Floydster and the following pompous voice-over:

"He's an undefeated champion who has stopped everyone he has faced..."

WTF? Their definition of "stopped" must be really different from mine.

Typical nonsense.

I still can't get over Audley Harrison being announced as heavyweight champion of the world on the BBC.

JCS over on Current Scene offered this possible explanation-in-form-of-a-question:

"Stopped them from winning?"

Yes, that must be it.

So infact I thought David Haye had stoped 19 out of 21 opponents but his record is infact much more impressive

makes it bloody meaninless

Well, not here - mostly been hanging around in Other Sports, when I do visit. Nice to actually have a big fight to talk about, though.

[I know, Calzaghe/Kessler was big, too, but neither of those 2 had much previous exposure to US fight fans].

haha i must have forgot about audley being announced as HW champ, was it after beating Hersisia or before defending against julius francis? And was it Mike Goodall?

It was definitely Goodall when he was defending the WBF. My stomach lurched, I swear.

I think I just fell asleep and woke up in a parallel universe
