    To be honest I am not gonna give sky the satisfaction of taking £15 from me. I have sheld out for every PPV fight they have ever had (except for Williams vs Klitschko as i was in another country) only for them to shun away from other big fights and spend all there cash on other sports. The undercard will likley feature Malignaggi agaisnt N'Dou which will be **** and Jamie Moore!!! BORING!

    I spent £30 on seeing Hatton fight Collazo and Urango which were a total waste! How can sky justify me paying £15 to see hatton vs a nobody when i can pay £10 to see Calzaghe vs Hopkins and Woods vs Tarver. I also Guarentee the undercards will be better for those fights.

    Oh and if Hatton is so great to his fans by turning down less money to fight in Manchester instead of Wembley, then why doesn't he do the same by putting the fight on normal sky sports, or even ITV or BBC!

    And this is coming from me, the guy who always tell others on hear to stp being so cheap!


    My bill for TV that Month would be £55 + £10 for setanta plus £15 for the Hatton fight. Where the **** does the £25 i pay for Sky Sports go???

    I don't have Sky so its not an option for me. But that fight is a **** take for a PPV, I'll either go or catch a stream.

    You said it mate. How can Setanta afford to show the calibre of fights like Hopkins vs Calzaghe, Pacman vs JMM, Enzo vs Haye all on their 'regular' channels while Sky feel the need to charge an extra £15 for a clearly inferior fight to any of those previously mentioned.

    Still Ricky's doing this for his fans.

    I would rather chop my left testicle of than go to a fight with 25,000 (yeh thats all that will show up) Manchester City fans that know nothing about boxing.

    for £10 on Setanta you will get

    Calzaghe vs Hopkins
    Tarver vs Woods
    Guzman vs Arthur
    Dawson vs Johnson and many more.

    for £40 on Sky you will get

    Hatton vs An absolute nobody
    a fight at the York Hall for the Southern Area Flyweight Title.

    Im goign to say NO, however I think the lads will probably all gather at one persons house and buy the fight... if I were at home I'd probably buckle last minute - but I really dont like it.

    No ta, witter or stfu hatton. He knows his casual fans will follow him and worship him whatever chump he fights. he has let the real boxing fans down imo. Couldnt give a toss who he fights now.

    You'd think the money grabbing little **** would lay all that on free for his fans, wouldn't you?;)
