    Great stuff.

    Here's hoping the Hitman gives Paulie a tuning

    Right, good. Expected but it's always nice to get everything signed.

    Thought Ricky might try to hold out for the UK, though...he'll want to bring a lot of his travelling support over, more than last time out.

    Slightly disappointed it's not in NYC but glad to see a date. Time to lose them chins and prove to fans and haters alike that you ain't shot Ricky!

    Anybody think that Madison Square Gardens would have been better? Maybe Hatton's worried about home advantage but I'd put money on more Brits going over to New York. I'd have saved up the pennys to go to New York ahead of Vegas!

    Great exchange rate at the moment. :good

    Malignaggi by one sided schooling.

    msg you have to pay to hire out the venue.

    the casino`s pay the promoters to put on in las vegas.

    IMO this fight made more money and would be a bigger occasion in the uk , but hatton signed a contract with HBO , and hbo want the fight at there prime time and not the uk`s.

    fair enough

    but i watched showtimes version of abraham v miranda at the little rock cafe and again lacked the atmosphere and sense of big fight occasion that it would have had in europe.

    wow the venue is the surprise for me considering their last fight in UK was a sell out i was expecting it to took place there, MSG is also good or in the yankee stadium, it'll draw lots of malignaggi fans and british fans at the same time

    Nothing too interesting about this fight. This is no better than his wins against Collazo, Urango or Maussa. Paulie is nothing too impressive and Hatton should beat him.

    Pauli is the no 1 contender in the division and gave Cotto one hell of a fight.
