    Actually Gaz thats when i went straight off him, i'll not knock him for knockings sake, as you know i was at the fight as well, did'nt rate his chances but obviously i was more than a bit torn about it. So when he lost i just thought serves you right, the whole ticket **** really blew apart my ideal about him & being English i wanted to get there & yell & howl for him to win but after watching him on the Al Murrey show when he lied right through his teeth & feighed complete ignorence about anything to do with tickets i just thought you duplicitous little **** & a very cool & calm the way he came across as just being a lad who wants to fight & has'nt got a clue about these things. I think he said something like OOOOOOOOhhhhhhhh i would'nt mind getting my hands on some of those, i'd make me self a few Quid!!!! ****in jaw dropping statement that compleatly left me gobsmacked for once.

    OK i could afford it no prob but being a dad & grandad i really fely sorry for all the younger generation who have followed him & spent a pile doing it. My Son's 27 & like all his generation was Hatton daft & then we get the fleecing going into overdrive once the 1st big opportunity came. I suppose $20MILLION ai'nt enough.

    I know more than most on this issue as i know the Virgin Airlines Pilot that always flew them over to the States & what he told me would make yer hair bleed about how Ray Hatton chopped up the tickets with Golden Boy. He went to his house & he had stacks all over the floor & took them to Vegas & this was also told to me by Mike Issacs at Prefered tickets in Vegas. I've used him for years & his words were "come on man" No right minded American will buy a ticket to see that bum mayweather, this is a brit thing & we are the lions & you are lunch, no tickets have ever gone on sale for this fight, it's a done deal with the MGM & Punch/Goldenboy, Touting or secondry market is'nt illegal in Vegas. This is how it's done buddy:-(
