Aftermath
Mayweather announced his retirement from boxing on June 6, 2008. But has recently returned to boxing after a 2 year break in which he had a brief spell in wrestling.
Mayweather went on to appear at World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)'s No Way Out pay-per-view on February 17, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he was involved in a storyline physical altercation with Big Show, which led to a match at WrestleMania XXIV.
Hatton defeated Juan Lazcano at the City of Manchester Stadium in Manchester on May 24, 2008 in a "thank-you" bout for the tremendous fan support he has received throughout his entire professional career. The last time Hatton fought in Manchester was back in 2005 against Kostya Tszyu. Hatton went on to fight Paul Malignaggi for the IBF light welterweight championship in November 2008. The fight was very one sided and Ricky won comfortably by way of TKO in the 11th round. Hatton would eventually lose to Manny Pacquiao via second round KO and put his career on an indefinite hiatus. He eventually announced his retirement on 07 July 2011.
