Now FW is saying nothing's been signed!!

According to Fightnews.com, Warren says a deal hasn't been done.

Can someone please shed some light on this. Tzyu's camp are saying a 4am fight in June at the MEN Arena.

What's going on?? Us fight fans need to know!

My sources in Oz say it's a done deal, so I'm guessing (hoping really) that it's just that Sports Network are pissed off that Tszyu has stolen their thunder by announcing the fight first.

The only thing which worries me a little is this.

Prior to this, Warren stated clearly that he would come to terms with Tszyu if the terms weren't to his liking, now he is saying that the terms of the first contract are 'non negotiable' makes me wonder whether Hatton has kicked up a fuss over the terms of the contract. He seems to be saying, 'no dice' my way or the highway, which is almost certain to get Tszyu's back up.

FW has obviously done everything he can to get the home advantage for Ricky. I'm amazed that it's come off with everything in Hatton's favour. Tzyu must be getting well paid for this one, but yes, you'd think that there might be a snag somewhere.

My guess is it won't happen. It's just too good to be true for Hatton. Someone isn't going to be happy, and then problems will arise, as you say.

Hatton\'s probably gonna say , the new deal leaves me with less tha Zoo and i\'m the drawcard

Next he\'ll want Zoo to take less money than him\'

Its a crock of shite I\'ve been saying for months they don\'t want it its all bullshit, bet i\'m proved right.

Only good thing is thers no way can they can now strip Kosta and let Hatton fight for the vacant title.

Send it to purse bids if Hatton pulls out of this one theres no way will he fight for purse bids.

If this falls through every boxing fan in Britain should bombard there papers demanding that they put the country straight on this pair of wankers who continually rob the punters and bring british boxing into direpute.

I don't know James but Tszyu Vs Harris is looking like a possibility, I hope not for all the British fans but Warren is sounding a lot diffrent to last week when he said the fight was a done deal.

It's a worry isn't it. The pessimists in me is coming to the fore now. I am getting a bad feeling about this.

Kilburn · Post by **Kilburn** » 10 Jan 2005, 12:06

I'd like to see Tszyu v Harris, with Hatton v Emanuel Augustus on the undercard.

Smit · Post by **Smit** » 10 Jan 2005, 12:07

I'd prefer to see Tszyu v Harris than Tszyu v Hatton anyway

and said so in a previous post.

Cotto vs Witter would be "the fight" now I think. Very very interesting.

That fight never really crossed my mind Loftgroov but it does sound appealing...Witter V Branco is up soon. Hennessy does get some good competetive matches for his men that's for certain, i like him as a promoter.

Maybe Tszyu's guys are doing it on purpose to shut Warren up.

Keats · Post by **Keats** » 10 Jan 2005, 23:22

So Warren can say its a done deal 7 days ago but Kostya can't say its a done deal now????

Kilburn · Post by **Kilburn** » 11 Jan 2005, 05:42

N'Dou would easily be Hatton's best opponent to date. So yes Ricky would struggle.

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 11 Jan 2005, 06:29

i think Ricky would outpoint N'dou easily, don't think it would be totally one-sided, and he'd probably have a couple of hairy moments, but ricky's technically better than N'dou in just about every department, and wouldn't stand and trade with N'dou.
