    It depends really... if you're a fan of hatton then it doesn't really matter if it's PPV or not.

    But for me personally i don't think so... But i'll definitely watch it though.

    this fight should be taking place prime time in the uk and perhaps even PPV in the uk and should be on regular HBO in america

    it is not because hatton has a deal with HBO and HBO want it in there prime time and not the uk`s.

    but the fight will sell way more PPV in the uk at 4am in the morning than it will in america prime time.

    Americans have to pay $30 not £30. us in england pay £15 which is roughly the same as $30. So its roughly the same amount.:good

    It depends on the undercard really. This fight shouldn't be too bad...since it has implications on their division and carries a few unique undertones to it.

    If it has a somewhat decent undercard, I'll consider it.

    If you're a Hatton fan (and there are a lot) then of course it is.
    If you're not a Hatton fan, then I still think it will be an interesting fight beetween contrasting styles.

    Like someone said before, it's better than watching Desperate Housewives..

    Also, if Hatton gets through this and looks good in the process, there are some really big potetial fights for him coming up with Pac or Oscar, so its good just to see where he is at as well.

    PPVs in the States are generally $50. It will run you $60 if you get it in HD. This fight won't be on PPV in the States though.

    Definitely not PPV worthy, though if it was I won't be surprised if it takes decent numbers to be honest.

    No it's not PPV worthy but it will be fun watching Paulie get a beatdown from Hatton.
