I've heard the Hatton's are claiming responsibility for educating Northerners in travel and horizon broadening by these trips all for their benefit!

It seems people are waking up to Team Hatton.

Even the so called "homecoming" was a farce with regards to "we are doing this just for the fans". I am willing to bet that show was perhaps the biggest earner in Hatton's career thus far.

Whilst I am here, anyone who says the Malanaggi v Hatton fight is a foregone conclusion is stupid, I think Malanaggi has a real chance, I base this opinon on Hatton being very easy to hit and in addition Hattons punch resistance in my view is not what it was, just look at his reactions to some of the punches he took in the Lazcano fight.

Get it done Tel - I married my then girlfriend out in Vegas whilst on holiday there a couple of years ago and it was mint!

My stag do was at UFC 66 (it was nearly new year so no boxing matches on - UFC was the next best thing) and we were married with Elvis there and had one of the best meals of our lives afterwards and then went out onto the strip to watch the New Years fireworks.

Crazy, mixed up town but a great place to visit.

NY is a more cosmopolitan, grown up place with more culture etc but you cant beat Las Vegas Nevada for the fun factor..

Only in Vegas can you see two porn stars get out of a Lamborghini with a parrot on their shoulder. Not sure if I'll go yet. Need a Vegas break.

Liddell Ortiz, Terry, nice :TU:

Congrats on the wedding by the way Terry in case I don't go. I'll send a Pinata to your room.

You are the wrong one, maybe its you who should do the thinking.

The biggest expenditure Punch Promotions/Team Hatton had was paying Maloney Promotions. PP and Team Hatton took the remainder of the ticket sales, TV revenue and in addition the merchandise which incidentally mounted up to a fair whack.

It's casino money that pay the big bucks, that is why Team Hatton are going back to Vegas.
Not because Vegas is a better deal for the fans!

Sounds good enough for me. I hear it is like Blackpool and I hate Blackpool but the change of weather would be nice. We talked about doing 3-4 theme weddings, one for each night we are there. I want to get married as Clint Eastwood's Man with no name, even though his name was Joe :TU:
People say its like Blackpool as its our only frame of reference in the UK I suppose but its nothing like that 5hithole. well, maybe downtown is a bit like blackpool but the strip is just top notch.

It is tacky and soulless town in most ways I suppose but does have some breath taking buildings and sights - its a grown ups play ground and the ideal place to get hitched if you dont want all the bull5hit and endless planning that goes into a wedding in the UK.

Are you really suggesting Hatton got anywhere close to matching the circa £20 million he got for Mayweather in one of the biggest grossing fights of all time?

No US PPV money or TV money of any real kind for Lazcano fight, do you really think ticket sales made up for that?

gibberish, if that was the case Hatton would be fighting Mallinagi in Manchester, not Vegas
