If Sky want the big fights then they have got to come up with the money for them.

It was painfully obvious Wigwam was trying to shift the blame.

FW is just a bell end, he's taken enough hard earned money from the fan's, so now he should give some back. But of course he won't.

This is it. He's brought over so many of these South Americans and mystery Europeans at a cut price for Hatton to fight in front of full houses. Where the fornicate is all the money from these big gates? He's not having to pay these journeymen all that much so he can save money. Are we to believe that possibly the worlds 3rd biggest promoter cannot make a fight with a non superstar like Vivian Harris without big tv money? Frank owes it to Rickys fans to get a big name since they have made him some good money.

What I cannot understand is how can Brodie get a shot at the WBC title (3 times) and can only half fill the arena. Are Sky giving Hearn more money? Just a question.

just shows that hatton only packs out the men cos he is a man city fan - if that wasnt the case the brodie chi shud have been packed as well as that was a far better matched fight than most of hattons fights.[/list][/quote]

Will the MEN be packed out if Hattons next opponent isn't a 'big name'?

I doubt it. so what will probably happen is:

They announce a big name fight (Harris or whoever), then wait until all the seats are sold, then Harris drops out with a load of BS excuses and Hatton is put in with some Colombian club fighter and FW keeps the till ringing.

It's now or never for Hatton and he really does look to be fed up with it all.
Even the MEN fatihful let a few boo's ring out!

there was a lot of seats unused. behind the entrance for the fighters, there must of been atleast 1000 seats just empty.

Can you get a refund if the card changes?
