    That’s the assessment of Top Rank promoter Bob Arum" Hatton looked in better shape than before but he is still very heavy. My guess is that he was like 165 pounds while Manny looked very trim and around 150 pounds."

    Hatton claimed he was "in fantastic condition already and that shows you how much I am up for this fight."

    As a box office attraction it has a huge dimension because of the tremendous number of pay-per-view buys in England." He calculated that the fight would do over a million homes in Britain. Arum pointed out "that’s an element that no other fighter brings to the table. Not (Floyd) Mayweather Jr, not anybody else."

    He said English homes are paying $23 per home and "that is the bonanza in this fight" which in addition to the $8 million in gate receipts will also earn from the US pay-per-view buys which Arum believes "will be very, very strong. We are very optimistic."

    I know but it suggests he's been eating a lot. There is loads of third world starvation...I'm not blaming him...but...
