from an interview with Richard Scheaffer on Boxingtalk now;

"And the Ricky Hatton fanclub in England had 38,000 ticket request and only 4,000 tickets to allocate. Actually the night before the Mayweather-Hatton fight we're going to be doing a British Invasion card on Telefutura. We will have some of these young emerging British fighters facing Mexican fighters. That will take place Friday December 7. This is the first time that information has been released. Tickets will go on sale within a week and the fight will also take place at the MGM Grand as well."

Anyone know anything about this.... what fighters, apart from Matthew Hatton i'm guessing, could be lined up? Some of Hennessy's boys? Does he still have links with Golden Boy?

Hennessy does have the handshake in place with Oscar - but i aint heard anything myself.

John Murray would be a good match for any of their lighter stars me thinks though.

Froch v Andrade? doubt it tbh.

I wonder what kids Hennesy will bring over, for ODLH vs. PBF we saw O'Donnell and Murray on the undercard. What other young fighters does Hennesy have?

Its a shame these will be on the Friday night, last time in Vegas for ODLH vs. PBF they had a very good card on the Friday and an average undercard on the Sat - pissed off that I missed the Friday card due to trying to see all the Vegas sights!
