Hatton 'giving something back to the fans'

does take the ****

 

Yea, and don't forget the fact this fight is probably on PPV....

 

my m8 got 6 seats from the ring for £150

 

It's all about the fans. He could have had a 2am start on HBO but he decided not to because it's all about the fans. And he's ill but he's still fighting because it's all about the fans. And he's fighting Lazcano who is "no mug", "ranked 4 by the IBO" and who "many people say is too hard an opponent for a comeback fight" because it's all about the fans. And he's having a knife thrower as part of his entrance because it's all about the fans.

 

actully guys if it was my choice of £1 million or give a earlier start time to fans i no what i would of chose! lazcano is still a tuff fight! gotta give hatton a bit of credit for this fight n definitly wont be a bad night of boxing

 

The thing is there was never a question of having a later start time. HBO and Showtime were not interested in the fight so where was he going to get an extra £1 million from for fighting at 2am?

 

Either pay the £15 or don't.....is it REALLY that bad?

 

I think this fight will bomb on PPV. I can't see too many doughnuts splashing out £15 to watch a Hatton hugging Lazcano.

Sky must be worried and that's why there are countdown galores for this fight.

 

i also got sky ringing me up and saying if u buy this fight on ppv they will give us free weekend calls!

but some how i dissagree i think quite a few fans will buy it

 

didn't realise he was on the door too.

 

It'll do well, its not a PPV card IMHO but thats a different story.

 

Yeah, after I ran the pound to dollar conversion in my head, I started wondering where that "family of four" was going to scrape up a mere three bills for their nosebleed seats. Maybe in the couch somewhere...

But hey, the fight could be an absolute snoozefest, and the atmosphere in that stadium will still be memorable. My hats off to British fight fans, you guys get loud as hell. :good

 

Yeah it probably will do quite well actually. Hatton is a cross-over star now so he's not relying on the afficianadoes to be interested. Mr Joe average- who knows feck all about the sport- will be ordering this all over the country.

 

IMO, a comeback fight is always interesting to watch..
exsp when it's coming off a knockout loss such as Hatton's.

I'm interested to see if a K.O. will change Ricky's style & Approach
it has been seen where agressive fighters become timid once they suffer that L by Knockout.

I agree Lazcano will not be a pushover (on paper)
Paulie on the card aswell, sound like a cool card.
of course I'll be watching on vs. and not paying the PPV.
