http://philboxing.com/news/story-21197.html Top Ranks Bob Arum, undoubtedly the most astute promoter in the business, has a May 2 date in Las Vegas for a megabuck fight between the Philippines national treasure Manny Pacquiao and Britain s Ricky The Hitman Hatton .........
lkjalskdjflkasdjflkasdjf WHY IS THIS IN GODDAMN VEGAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE UK ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I dont understand why no one has suggested the fight being at the MEN arena, or Millennium Stadium (where they could get 80,000 people in). If as, Bob Arum apparently says, it cant be at wembley because there is a '90% chance of rain', that is again incorrect if its on in May time, there is definitely not a 90% chance of rain then. If there is a British and a Filipino fighter why does the bout have to be in America? Also it said it would have to be at 5am if it was in the UK, why? Can American fans not watch boxing earlier in the evening? Do they have to boxing late at night? And why do British have to watch fights at 4am and Filipino fans at 4pm. Its utter bollocks. The promoters have no regard for the fans.
im so pissed.... i was ready to fly to the uk to watch this event man they better re-work this to be in the uk
will make more money in vegas. 100,000 in wembley or not. bigger prices for tkts hattons fans will travel and buy like crazy on ppv. and fight has to be in prime time for us buys
It's the realy of the PPV market which would be HBO's main concern. Take this event away from HBO and I think we'll be getting what we want.
