    Why are you girls getting your knickers in such a twist? It's only one or two exhibition bouts, why not? To be honest, doing the training and routine of preparing for a fight will do him the world of good and give him something to aim for - we all need that. He's only 43 and the risk is so limited in these kind of fights. It's not like he's talking about fighting professionally again. Good on him I say.

    Whilst I can’t understand people paying to listen to John fury talk at least he will be saying what he is thinking (I presume)
    Never understood the clamour to pay for an evening with Hatton just to listen to him recite old Bernard manning sets word for word. Ridiculous.

    Agreed.

    Never was a fan of Hatton. Awful style, tried to hard to be a commoner, was always unprofessional. Never did get the hype over him.

    The only reason is PPV Loot - he had more than enough during his career

    They’re both buddies, it’s an exhibition…

    If they want to have a move around then let them crack on with it… hardly a comeback is it.

    Mad that he is 43, I’m 37 and he could pass for my dad!

    Meh i dont really get the criticism ? Its to have an exhibition against someone like Barrera ? If he says he wants to make a proper comeback then id be concerned. If a tv provider is prepared to pay him lots of money for what is probably less dangerous or comptetitive than a spar in the gym then I dont begrudge the man. I do get the point about his interviews and stuff on recent years i find him and his hanger ons sickly.

    Tried too hard to be a commoner? He is a commoner. One of the most overrated boxers I can remember.

    Only way this is interesting is If Hatton fights Naz Hamed at their current weight.

    Are those of you who are foaming at the mouth about this aware you’re not being forced to watch it and there won’t be a mandate from your bank demanding you pay the PPV price?

    I don't know any commoners with a house as big as his.
