    I think you'll find that if Hatton insisted on England the fight probably wouldn't have happened,Arum put the brakes on that one straight away.It's a shame for the home fans on both sides but I'm glad the fight is being made

    I think that with Pacquiao holding the cards in this one.....

    Hatton didn't have much choice.

    I know what you're saying, it does seem a bit **** but I'd rather the fight be in Vegas than to not be happening at all.

    your absolutely right.

    before pac-dlh, hatton said he'd rather fight pac. and pac agreed that he'd fight hatton in england.

    if manny had lost to oscar like expected team hatton would have been in a much better position to try and push for wembley.

    If DLH had beaten Pac, it was RH vs DLH @ Wembley

    The fight should be in either England or the Philippines.

    The truth is Americans dont support boxing as much as well as Europeans which is evident by the low gate numbers (only 20000) where we can easily fill a stadium of 60000 which means 3 x money.

    Wow the USA has a much bigger population than the UK and still sold less PPV. Is this indication of how less interested people are in boxing in the USA or attributed to the fact Mayweather has no fans?

    :blood thats not what ricky said.

    "win or lose i would rather fight pacquiao..." -hatton

    but who knows what really would have happened. i think we can all agree that pac-hatton is a better match up & the fight we'd rather see.

    Mayweather has always done decent PPV numbers.... this was just an average showing.

    Hatton's popularity in the mainstream (not so much hardcore boxing fans) is extraordinary..... doubt any fighter, anywhere can top that.

    I know what he said, but talk is cheap when you can fight DLH at home and make a shitload more cash!
