Weigh-ins are usually the day before. No doubt sky will be there for it.

Got a couple of bets on the fight, just for a bit of fun.

£10 on Mayweather to win on points at evens.
£2 on Hatton to win in rounds 4-6 at 14-1.
£1 on Mayweather to win in round 11 at 28/1.

Why has Mayweather turned into some kind of hermit as we've got closer and closer to the fight? Is it something he usually does?

I'm sure I've seen him doing interviews etc right up to the fight in previous bouts he's had, although this one he's nowhere to be seen.

Maybe he's tucked himself away so that he can focus hard, or maybe he just thinks he cant get the better of Hatton in the media. I suppose it depends how he has acted in the past.

What kinda time will it all start?

i think there are rumours that hes hurt his hand but some people i've heard think it might of been a ruse. I hope Hatton hasn't been training for too long and over trained for this, thats my main worry for him.

DeafParrot - where did you get those odds? Tempted to put a tenner on hatton rounds 4-6

All of those were from Corals.

Floyd will crush him and then Hatton will dump on De La Hoya in May.

Forward on and we might get a rematch of this fight on Sat.

really cannot see how Hatton wins it because Mayweather is too slick, too smart on the outside and inside, and too fast for Hatton. However if Hatton gets to him within the first 4 rounds and actually ruffs him up on the inside then, maybe, he can start to gradually wear him down by exploiting Mayweathers hesitancy to actually want any part of Hatton when he is coming forward. Add to that a potential flare up of his hand troubles and mentally Mayweather could be in a zone he never has been.
The only time i can really remember Mayweather facing heavy adversity was against Castillo first time round, who is probably the one fighter he fought that fights like Hatton, but judging from the rematch of that fight, PBF learned how to deal with that style pretty fast and made it look easy.
From Hattons point of view Mayweather is a nightmare opponent, counter punching defence master boxing specialist with a brain, and simply a class(s) above him in so many areas. I still think the main issue is the fact that the fight is at welterweight, where Hatton has been truthfully dreadful in his last 2 visits at (although tbf they were both southpaws iirc). He wont hurt PBF badly with a single punch so its all down to him relying on wearing PBF down with his sheer volume of punches, but they actually have to land and PBF is the very worst opponent to have that strategy against.

Looking forward to this. Would love Hatton to win, but think Mayweather will take it on points.

Looking in posts above there seems to be a few interesting odds at Corals. May stick a few quid on to add more even more interest to the fight.
