Floyd Mayweather was stunned when Ricky Hatton turned press conference into a stand-up comedy show
Floyd Mayweather never tasted defeat in the ring during his legendary 50-0 boxing career.
‘The Best Ever’ was almost as good at trash-talking as he was fighting, but a few opponents got the better of him on the mic.
UFC superstar Conor McGregor terrorized him during a four-city press tour ahead of their fight in 2017.
Floyd Mayweather got his payback with a 15-punch combination to secure a tenth-round TKO win.
That’s the same round ‘Money’ stopped Ricky Hatton when they fought in Las Vegas on December 8, 2007.

The Roast of Floyd Mayweather
Floyd Mayweather bravely traveled to Ricky Hatton’s backyard to promote their 39-0 vs 43-0 fight.
The American didn’t know what to do when his opponent began cracking jokes for his hometown crowd.
“I’ve missed my son, my six-year-old son, but I probably haven’t missed him quite as much as you would think because I’ve had the misfortune to spend the full week with another f—ing six-year-old,” Hatton said as a room full of Englishmen laughed and cheered.
“Floyd’s gonna run away all night – he says he isn’t, but he is – he’s gonna run away all night.
“I know I’m gonna have to be fast on my feet to catch him.
“So I’ve got two wonderful sparring partners coming in – Forrest Gump and Carl Lewis.”
Mayweather tried to fight back with his words, and when that didn’t work, he simply chuckled along.
In the end, he got the last laugh by stopping Hatton in front of 30,000 Brits who traveled across the pond for their fight.
Floyd Mayweather’s next fight
Ricky Hatton sadly died in September, just months after announcing his return from retirement.
Floyd Mayweather officially quit boxing in 2017, but he’s still taking fights almost a decade later.
The 48-year-old has signed a deal to fight heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson in 2026.
Right now, there’s no official date or location for Mayweather’s boxing bout with Mike Tyson.
The former undisputed heavyweight champion recently revealed their fight date and location.
“It’s going to be in March, and it’s going to be in Africa,” Tyson claims.
“It’s going to be incredible, it’s going to break all the records, and it’s going to be one of the biggest events in the history of the sport.”
