Ricky Hatton vs. Vyacheslav Senchenko & Scott Quigg vs. Rendall Munroe II RBR

ricky is looking more and more like yoda

 

Come on IB, you know better than that. You seem to have some utopian view of the boxing world where only the significance of a matchup should be take into consideration. Boxing does not, and probably never has, worked like that.

It IS all about the star attraction. Doesn't matter in this country that Ricky has been out for more than three years and Senchenko isn't particularly special. Hatton is such a massive star that him making a comeback is bigger news than fights like Burns/Mitchell. Hatton sold more than 10k tickets before an undercard or even an opponent was announced. That's how big a deal this is.

Don't think anything like this besmirches the name of the sport any further, enough **** happens in this sport anyway. If you take the Hatton fight off the card it would get a fraction of the TV audience it will tonight. PPV or not.

 

Quigg vs Munroe rematch coming up.

 

No head clashes please!

 

it's the way it is for logistical reasons. ricky's name's top on the poster cos he's selling the tickets...ricky's on last cos if you put him on earlier the arena would be empty for the fights on after him.

where a fight is on the card isn't an sporting thing...it's a business thing.

 

Just in time.

 

Quigg should take this, then move on to Frampton and get KO'd by the Irish Mike Tyson.

 

hi there beast

 

I'm more interested in Quigg/Munroe than Hatton. Hope Rendall gets the win.

 

How many hours until Ricky?

 

Hi.



Think I saw Munroe against.. a Japanese I believe it was Nishioka.
