Depends, if macklin get get into mandatory position then it'll go to purse bids. Hatton holds a lot of weight you know <tsk>

I like the pun, never thought of the mandatory purse bids thing, fair play maybe it wont be that hard to get him over here then, unless he keeps pulling out injured.

Is Andy Murray on the card? Missed that one. Was only talking to him today and I got the impression he was still on the rehabilitation process.

I think I heard Peters mentioning his name and just checked his boxrec page and he is down to fight a TBA so... But if he didn't mention it to you maybe he isn't fighting or is hoping to fight but is keeping it hush hush just in case he isn't fit enough come the time of the fight.

Murray told me on facebook that he wouldnt be right until Christmas so this seems a still premature.

Murray isn't on the Boxrec card anymore so ye were both correct

I still think it would be hard to get Sylvester over these shores for a fight, i'm still in the opinion that Hatton has 1 more fight & this goes on the undercard. Sylvester would get paid pretty well on a show this size (it's gunna be a big one if Hatton headlines), just my opinion.

True, Sauerland know Sylvester is the weakest middleweight champ out there and everyone will be gunning for him, I can only see Sylvester defending against mandatories and carefully chosen voluntaries. Unfortunately for Macklin, no matter how much money Hatton offers Sylvester I cannot see him fighting Macklin - unless Macklin becomes mandatory with the IBF, which could take some time.
