It looks like this rematch is about to become a bout. From everything that I see the fight will take place either September the 13th or September the 20th and it looks like it will air on HBO Pay-Per-View. This is being built up as one of the premier fights of 2008 and tickets will surely be sold out way in advance. Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer has stated that he has reserved the 27,000-seat Home Depot Center, the outdoor home to the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer, for both September 13th and September 20th. He said other venues are also interested, including the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Either venue is sure to blow through ticket sales in a hurry.

If you have been following the sports news (and more specifically the boxing stuff), then you must be knowing about the De La Hoya v/s Mayweather match. Even I’m not a boxer, but this is one of these news that’s termed as “breaking news”.

Do you still remember the great fight “De La Hoya vs. Mayweather” which took place on May 5, 2007 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada? It was really a hard fight over the whole distance and the winner was Mayweather with only a few points. This was a fight with all superlatives including the money. The match was one of the most lucrative boxing matches ever, with over $120 million in generated revenue and Oscar De La Hoya ended up earning $52 million for the bout, the highest purse ever for a fighter.And now there will be a rematch........ Their first bout broke all PPV records so what we can expect from the upcoming rematch?!? I'm sure both fighters make a very hard training with only one goal. Win the Fight of the year 2008!

Can Hatton upset the odds?As Hatton hype reaches a crescendo even seasoned 'experts' have started calling tonights fight in favour of the lad from Manchester. Clearly, UK based fight fans are willing Hatton to victory - in cringeworthy terrace style - but it is hard to make a rock solid case for him to take the belts.Mayweather has no weaknesses of note. He is the supreme boxer in the world today, has lightening handspeed, quick feet and great movement.Ricky Hatton will be taking a solid chin - which he will need - a big heart, heavy hands and pure aggression into the ring. These attributes would see Hatton through most encounters but Mayweather really is a different class. The big danger for Hatton is frustration setting in, not being able to find a way through Mayweathers jab, losing his discipline and leaving himself open to some punishing combinations.An even bigger danger - early on for Hatton - is his paper thin skin which cuts so easily.

Last week Floyd Mayweather and his partner Karina were in the bottom two of Dancing with the Stars. This was their performance last Monday (Paso Doble).
The judges love their performance and gave them a total of 23. Last night they were eliminated, I guess viewers at home don’t like their number. Now Floyd can go back to the ring full time to prepare for his fight on December.
While he prepares for his fight on December 8th with unbeaten Ricky Hatton, Mayweather is simultaneously competing every week on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.” Watch his performance last week. He was in the bottom two last week but I have to say he is improving.
Pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. made his live debut on the new season of “Dancing with the Stars”. He was partnered with Karina Smirnoff.

Motivated by disparaging remarks Ricky Hatton made after his HBO-televised victory against Jose Luis Castillo last Saturday, Mayweather says he’s coming out of retirement to see if Hatton really wants him.

For me, boxing is a science but it will be a pleasure to prove to the world what a great phoney the guy is."He continued: "Ricky Hatton cannot fight. He cannot box.
