Gatti-Mayweather on agian

Tired of waiting for Floyd Mayweather, Jr to agree to terms for a June 11, 2005, showdown, Arturo Gatti has announced that he is no longer considering Mayweather, Jr. as an opponent for the aforementioned date, it was announced today by Main Events CEO Kathy Duva.

“Promotion for this fight should’ve started a long time ago,” said Gatti. “I should’ve been in camp already preparing for it. He’s killed the whole promotion. I was happy after he resolved his legal problems and didn’t have to go to jail, but then he didn’t sign the contract. I kept waiting and waiting and extending the deadline, but it still never came.

“I don’t have time for that. It’s his problem if he’s having problems with his promoter. He screwed this fight up. Maybe after June 11 he’ll have his shit together and we can try and sit down again because I want the fight. But I’ll find someone else for June 11. He can talk all he wants, but it’s his fault this fight isn’t happening.”

Gatti made his decision this afternoon after Mayweather’s promoter Top Rank informed Main Events (Gatti’s promoter) that Top Rank would be unable to get Mayweather to sign a contract by the agreed upon deadline of 5:00 pm ET on March 4.
"This would have been a great fight ,prettyboy floyd gotta get his shit together."now they say Gotti might fight Shane Mosely

Mayweather ducks fights..then states that he only wants to fight "Big Fights". Man doesnt even sign..but shows up on Saturday to watch the fights at Mandalay.

Mayweather only fights ESPN2 and HBO Latino fighters.

GOTTI- MAYWEATHER BACK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES...

LAS VEGAS, March 10 - Yesterday, Bob Arum was telling the truth. Today, he had the chance to gloat and took the high road instead.

Arum was playing games yesterday, and said so, and today not only did he win, all of boxing did. The Arturo Gatti-Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight is back on. The new date is June 25, the site is still Atlantic City and, to put a cherry on the top of Arum's day, he was able to get Miguel Cotto's HBO date at Madison Square Garden moved to June 11 - the old Gatti-Mayweather slot - on the night before New York's big Puerto Rican Day parade.

Arum got Mayweather to sign a fax that was sent yesterday to the WBC asking for a purse bid Friday on the fight that Gatti "pulled the plug" on last Frida

Floyd is really too fast for anyone at 140.
Tsyzu has the best chance bcuz of his accuracy...

Im still rootin for Gatti though.

Judah should come back down and have a match with Floyd...that would be the perfect fight.

"They (Main Events) have tried to pump Gatti up like some kind of tough guy, but he's running like a little kid. He's scared." LMAO @ Mayweather. Just for comments like that alone, I want Gatti to put a beating on Mayweather. Can't see it happening, but I hope it does.
