by T.K. Stewart - Floyd Mayweather, Sr. touched down at the airport in drizzly Manchester, England on Friday morning. The outspoken trainer is there, of course, to train Ricky Hatton for his November 22nd fight with Paulie Malignaggi that will take place at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas.
Manchester, England is an unlikely place to find "Big Floyd" - as he likes to refer to himself. It's not the wind-whipped streets of his birthplace of Grand Rapids, Michigan nor anything at all like his current home among the lively action and bright lights of Las Vegas.
Mayweather, who is perpetually engaging and always has a little something on his mind, was weary after the long transatlantic flight. When reached by cell phone he was still getting his luggage together in the airport, yet he was anxious to let everybody know how things were getting along so far.
"I heard it rains a lot, quite a bit here, and the weather is kind of dreary," commented Floyd. "But I seen when I was comin' in, there was a lot of greenery, which is good, you know. But it don't seem like it's as alive as Las Vegas." [details]
