"It's very likely Floyd will come over next spring," said Schaefer. "Floyd and his manager Al Hayman are very serious about it."
Mayweather was a comfortable winner in the first contest although Hatton claims referee Joe Cortez contributed to the result.
The first fight was great and while Floyd would have to get past Oscar [De La Hoya] first. He knows that Ricky has talked about the referee.
"He wants to show that he will repeat what happened the first time. That's his motivation."
