Money: "Hatton should quit" Mayweather tells former victim to walk away!

The Manchester light-welterweight has not looked the same since being stopped inside 10 rounds by Mayweather, subsequently beating Juan Lazcano and Paulie Malignaggi before the crushing loss to Pacquiao.
And Mayweather believes Hatton has a much bigger role to play outside the ring - that of grooming young fighters to become future champions in his new guise as a promoter. Saying:
"My advice to Ricky Hatton is that his career is over, I think he should have stopped fighting after our fight," "He worked his whole life to get to that point, and he came up short.
"It's hard to keep gaining a lot of weight, losing a lot weight, to stay at that level, the wear and and tear on your body, so the best thing for Ricky Hatton I think is to try and go out and get all the young champions in the UK and get them under Hatton Promotions, and build your company to the best of your ability.

"Boxing is a brutal sport, it's like being a cop - one shot and it ends your whole career.

"I don't think Ricky should fight again. I wouldn't fight him again, even at Wembley. It would be like picking on a guy that we call 'gun-shot, gun-shot'.

"Once you've been knocked out in the way he was by me, it's always in the back of your mind that it can happen again. His head won't be the same."

Mayweather says Hatton should quit? At least Hatton had the balls to face Pacquiao.

@wardenthelonerstone Too bad Pacquiao and Arum don't have balls to face Mayweather.

Put that jacket on anyone and you'd look a twat, on Mayweather it's cool lol. I have always respected him as a fighter, but after this I respect him more as a person too

@wardenthelonerstone That statement doesn't answer the question proceeding it at all. But it does show that you're still bitter about your boy getting knocked out... twice.

Floyd is a great fighter, but he gives the sport a terrible name.

@sabc714 gayweather is a pathetic human who respects noone, not even his father or women.
