wouldnt the security guys not let them in? 4am is a wank time anyway zoo not that popular in the states so i dont think the viewing figures will make much differences.

Isn't 4am a good time for the Aussie payperview as well as the Americans. It is stupid to make them fight at 4am and i don't think it will come off if that is the case.

Not sure if it will be PPV in the states? If its normal showtime then I think loads would tune in.

I dont think it will come off end of story. Certain people seem to be doing all they can to scupper this fight.

If it was held at 1400 on the Sunday in Australia, it would be something like 0100 (SUN) here and 2000 (SAT) in the US. What's wrong with that?

Whats wrong with that is little Ricky will have to step out of his back garden... Tszyu should force it to purse bids then he gets the lions share.

I had a dream last night that Hatton fought Tszyu, honest. I think it was in the UK and Hatton got a bad cut in the 1st round, gets wild and Tszyu punished him and forced a stoppage right at the end of the opening round in a really wild punch up! It was dead realistic!

Wouldn't be my prediction but IF pigs flew and the fight materialised I might have a tenner on that outcome just in case!

this type of fight will never go to purse bids, zoo will probably get more money doing a deal with FW and showtime.

Sounds a perfectly realistic outcome to me, sadly.

Not sure about that. The 5 million being mentioned is I think in Aussie Dollars which is just over 1.5 million pounds.

Tszyu could hold out for 75% of any purse bid which I reckon would be well in the region of that figure if not higher.

The Security guys will have fallen asleep by 0400. You're right, it's a wank time for a fight. The best place for the fight to be is Australia.

wrong again jimmy, the fight should be in bournemouth. and you will get to see me and zoo much shots
