    Completly agree with you, Setanta is great value for money. I'm sure I read a few weeks back that they are looking to get Ricky's next opponent (Malignaggi or Torres) to fight on the undercard.

    Hatton and David Haye - I'd buy any PPV they have, no matter who the opponent, because those two have taken more risks to get the biggest fights that they could... fighters like these make everything good about boxing.
    They didn't **** 15 years up the wall with a certain promoter, fighting nobody title defences... they got their titles and went bigger.
    Ricky just fought Mayweather :patsch gave us the biggest event a British fighter has been in for years and years. Hatton has to do no more.
    Pay £15 and shut up moaning.

    They already did. Unless they're going to start doing freebie shows on Sky Box Office....

    Yeah thank God Hatton never signed with Frank Warren, he would have just spent years fighting 'nobody title defences'.

    I'll prob end up going but i'm less excited about this fight then Thaxton- Romanov... I just hope Hatton gets his act together... He's going to need to be motivated because lazcano will be fit and can punch. Also weight making is not going to be easy with no fire in his belly.

    He left Warren, that's even more impressive.
    If only all British had the balls Hatton does.

    Would Hatton have been scared of fighting Ottke over there? We know someone was.

    I acutally felt Hatton was extremly out of order to Warren! he also showed his loyalty to Sky, who had spent alot of money building his career, only for him to jump ship for his biggest fight (at that point) agaisnt Castillo to the highest bidder!

    Your compassion is touching but I wouldn't worry, I'm sure both Warren and Sky did OK financially out of Hatton up to that point.

    I believe that Hatton is the only reason were seeing Haye-Enzo, Hopkins-Calzaghe, even Kessler-Calzaghe.
    Because the promoter looks like a **** when Hatton-Mayweather, or Hatton-Castillo or Haye-Mormeck are happening and he's still showing Calzaghe-Salem or Calzaghe-McIntyre.

    He got Tsyzu over here and for that I'm very thankful, but if anyone believes it wasn't going to be another 10 years of Mkrtchain's and Jimenez's or old man Brewer's for Hatton... we've seen it before.

    Hatton got out and made British boxing good... :happy

    100% Hatton would never take that fight.

    It's nothing to do with being scared and everything to do with risk v reward.

    You can critize many aspects of Calzaghes career but I don't blame him one bit for not fighting Ottke in Germany. It was a stitch up waiting to happen.

    The reward being - the undisputed best at your weight.

    Damn right Hatton would be there.
