Does Hatton think fans are stupid?

He loves his fans so much they have to pay £15 just to watch it on TV. He loves his fans so much that he's fighting Lazcano and not Witter.

 

What ever the reasons behind it and who knows what to believe, its good to see a fight at a British fight time for a change. Even Haye vs Macranelli ("the battle of Britain") was on at American fight time, despite it being an all British event held in the UK. All the big British fighters fight at ridiculous hours nowadays.

 

dont forget "lazcano is no joke, he is rated no.2 by the IBO which is a very credible organization" atsch

 

His fans are usually on ESB at 2 am.

 

Damn the guy just got beat by the p4p king. knockedout for the first time, and he is fighting a live body. Give the man a break.

 

I wouldn't mind if he'd just say "I don't want to fight Witter becaue he's too good, I reckon I can beat Lazcano easily. As for the PPV price, well I want to make as much money as possible." But don't give us the usual crap about it all being about the fans because it clearly isn't.

 

i think he does

 

They certainly are theres tons of them on this board who believe any of the **** that comes out of his mouth.

"It's all about achieving my goals now and doing right by the fans. I want to be remembered as a fans' favourite, a people's champion.

I guess Ricky hasnt realised yet that his fans want to see him vs Junior Witter.

 

Yeah the suggestion that his fans don't want the Witter fight is ridiculous. His fans on here come out with stuff like "I'd love Ricky to shut Witter up". They'd much rather see the Witter fight than the Lazcano or Malignaggi fights. The problem is that Hatton basically tells his fans what they want. ie. the fans don't want me to fight witter.

 

Who gives a ****? This is a tune-up fight, a big homecoming shindig in front of 50,000 of his home fans to boost his confidence after his first and only loss. Its not exactly a travesty of justice like some people are making it out to be.

The only thing I object too is the £15 PPV business, thats a bit much for a warm-up fight, but otherwise I have no problem with Hatton - Lazcano and you should get get off his back.

The big fights will come. Malinaggi in autumn followed by another big fight, maybe Witter, maybe Pacquioa, maybe Cotto, maybe a rematch with Floyd. be patient and get some sense of perspective instead of bursting into a a fit of self-righteous indignation every time someone mentions Hatton's name.

 

His whole careers been a bloody tune up. By now you`d think the tune was ****ing broke.

 

then maybe he should follow your lead and tell everyone its a tune up fight instead of pretending its a huge showdown.

 

well..this is the safest opponent and probably smartest move he could make...the perfect 'tune up' fight...
but..i think hatton will be going downhill from now on...hope i am wrong..
lazcano will NOT be the man to expose this..
the way he hit the ringpost again floyd was very damaging looking...
and if you listen very closely to him speak recently..he has a very slight slur..he was as sharp as a knive in every way a year ago...he looks subdued in some ways to me...i think some of the fight could be gone out of him...
but..again...lazcano's not the man to expose this...
hope i'm wrong...just an observation..

 

he fighting at british times to get the most bucks. not to please fans
