I cant believe we are not getting hatton vs alvarez...

Yep, thats where the money has gone!! Lucky ****ers!

 

yep this is on some bull**** if sky dont show it.

i thought sky sports was ment to be a top sports channel.

 

I know Matty's gonna get a doing but that undercard floated my boat a bit. Cheers to Nutjob, never thought I'd say that on here.

 

**** Sky anyway. I really wanted to see this fight.

 

Macklin vs Wright don't look like it's being shown either, and that card is pretty good aswell. Sky need a serious talking to.

 

Adam Smith atsch

 

I know what you mean, Sky allow you to follow a boxer from the early stages of his career and the minute they go international leave everyone high and dry!

 

Sky are annoy me with their budget. The main events are hit and miss, the quality of the co-features and undercards tend to be very low and the best British talent like James Degale, Nathan Cleverly have been on PPV recently and haven't been on regular Sky for a long time.

Clearly that shows that the licence fee they offer is pretty low. Yet they have enough money to fly Johnny Nelson, Adam Smith and a crew to Miami to do an interview with David Haye and they also manage to pop in and have a quick chat with Amir. Don't tell me that all comes cheap.

 

I agree with what eveyone is saying,i am not a big fan of Matt Hatton but it would be a big story if he wins and Sky should show it if they are serious about boxing.Sky seem to just want to cash out on the big events,rather then consistently show boxing from the states we would be interested in.

We pay allot for sky sports and should expect to see British boxers in World title fights .

 

I wouldn't surprise me if Goldenboy were looking for a decent payday from the SKY. They probably think a Hatton in a World Title fight would be big news over here.

 

Its not even a hard sell thats what i dont understand the name Hatton is like golddust still.

All you have to do is market Alvarez to the Brit public as the next big thing and then market Hatton as the underdog trying too fulfill his destiny and follow in his brothers footsteps. The fight has some genuine intrigue but apparently not Robert Belge was a much more interesting fight

 

Any chance of Premier picking this up?

 

Don't think Premier can show it as they have the Judah-Mabuza fight on the same night (it'll probably be a better fight anyway)

Just noticed Stephane Jamoye is on the Hatton-Alvarez undercard in Vegas! Has he signed with Hatton now? I think hes got a fair bit of potential considering his age. Hope we see more of him over in the UK

 

Really liked Jamoye i dont know he had a fight less than a month after that war with Jamie McDonnell he is active and talented and exciting

Belgian boxing is on the up

 

skybet says its on sky sports 1. pretty sure something gets announced this week.
