Ricky "Doing it for the people" Hatton

Sky will have decided to make it PPV, not the Hattons. If you don't want to fork out the 15 lousy quid then don't, and please no more "its not the money, its principle" BS to cover up your tightarsedness.

 

i dont get why people are moaning so much,if you dont want to pay for the fight then dont,watch it free on sky sports next friday.

 

i really don't understand all this "sky made the show ppv, not the hattons" bollocks. true, technically sky made the show ppv but considering the last x number of hatton fights sky have shown have been PPV i think he and ray might have had a fair idea that would be the case with this show when they sold sky the rights to this fight.

i think the only recent hatton fight which wasn't ppv was castillo shown on normal setanta.

like the thread-starter said, this is fair enough - the hattons have every right to try make as much money as they can out of this - most of us would do the same.

 

is it being repeated on normal sky sports? i didn't see anything in their schedule.

 

I like pizza, I like bagels,
I like hotdogs with mustard and beer.
I'll eat eggplant, I could even eat a baby deer.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
Who's that baby deer on the lawn?

 

Of course they were aware it was oing to be on PPV. They still had no say in the matter, though. Sky own the rights to Hatton's fights and because he's a moneymaker, they decided to stick it on PPV. What exactly could Hatton do about it? He'd already sold the rights before the Lazcano bout was announced so he couldn't do anything.

I can see where you're coming from if you think Hatton should have sold the rights to the BBC or ITV or someone else who would show it for free. However, once he sold it to Sky, they could do whatever they want with it.

 

I can see an argument that Hatton should have put it on terrestrial TV(perhaps ITV), but putting in on Sky non PPV isn't "doing it for the fans" either as many people cant afford sky. In fact with it being PPV anyone can watch it now without having to be a sky subscriber.

Hatton certainly isnt blameless, but I think your main issues should be with Sky, because they are cheating you out of boxing return for your subscription. Sky are screwing you over...

I thik he should have put this fight on ITV/BBC though.

 

Jesus Christ another pathetic thread criticising Hatton

Absolutely pathetic

His last fight was 5am, in Las Vegas, and loads paid a lot of money to see it

This one is in his hometown and is at 10pm

So it's better for his fans

Is that so hard to understand?

 

Of course they would have known it was PPV, that doesn't make it their doing though does it, Sunshine...?

 

What? People having a difference of opinion! Jesus I didn't know Hatton was our dictator, all that acid has left me seriously out of touch.

 

I doubt either was ever a serious option.

 

Neither was communism.

 

He's popular because he's an everyman who gets pissed and eats pizza. And until recently was undefeated.

My first thought when the Lazcano fight was announced was "****, is he still fighting?" I'm not very excited about this one.
