    I've re-read my original post and I think it was a little misleading.

    I looked at Will Hill.

    At the time of writing (not checked since) it was 100-1 for each round - not for any KO win. i.e. if you bet on Paulie winning by KO is the 4th you'd get 100-1, if you thought he'd win in the 12th by KO it would be 100-1.

    The win by KO in any round was obviously a lot lower than this.

    Sorry for any confusion, I typed the original entry after a few beers :patsch

    No problem, Barren Brad, I'd had a few beers as well.

    I agree, considering the odds, I may have a few quid on Pauli closer to the time.

    Here's a piece out the Daily Mirror today on it...

    Ricky Hatton has turned his back on his dream of topping the bill at Madison Square Garden for the sake of his fans' pockets.
    Hatton, 29, had wanted to challenge champion Paul Malignaggi for his old IBF light-welterweight belt at the Garden in New York and tick off another box on his career wishlist.
    But he has opted to fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas - scene of his defeat to Floyd Mayweather - on November 22 because it will work out cheaper for his thousands of supporters.
    Hatton's father and manager Ray said: "It's 99 per cent certain that the fight will be at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas because Ricky wants it there for his fans. Tour companies have told us that it would on average be £400 cheaper for fans flying over to America to have the fight in Vegas compared to New York.

    "Hotel rooms and food are that much cheaper in Vegas and Ricky is very mindful of this, especially with the fight happening a month before Christmas.
    "He really appreciates how much it costs his fans to come to America and wants what's best for them.
    "He did want to top the bill at the Garden, but he has already fought there on the undercard of Naz and Kevin Kelley in 1997 so he has ticked that one off."

    The Hitman is demanding 10,000 of the likely 18,000 tickets for his fans after he received only 4,000 for the Mayweather fight.​
