think you are being very hopeful there mate, if you think that Hatton wont be on box office for unification match no matter against who then you are are dreaming pal.

Fancty a tenner on it being on box office? Will help me pay for it hahaha

True, once a fighter gets on Box Office they dont tend to go back to regular Sky. That's the way its always worked in the past.

Yes I think you are right.

Don't get me wrong I expect Ricky to be on PPV for the rest of his career now, I'm only making the point that he's not actually worth it IMO unless it's against the top 3, or possibly Witter.

i dont mind paying £15 as long as there a good undercard.
How many paid for the last fight?

I certainly wouldn't buy the Maussa fight, I don't think it's a bad match but it's not a mouth waterer. Barrera v Peden is better and we get that for nowt extra.

a decent undercard can often compensate for a lacklustre headliner

I think this is a perfectly decent match for RH and I will pay if I don't go and see it live.

It could be worse, think of what the yanks pay for PPV and some of the stinkers they have shoved out.

Slapsie

Hatton could successfully promote safe sex in Western Africa and still beat Maussa.

Yes I agree there, it's just if it becomes a long term thing.

If Hatton gets into any trouble against Maussa it's the first thing people will say, he wasn't properly focused etc.

I think he win easily. Maussa was stopped in eight by Cotto.
I dont think Hatton would ever be as badly prepared as Harris was.

bottom line is ill buy any fight with a big fight on it, unless its tyson.

get a few lads over, crack a few beers and have a few larfs.

15 quid is well worth it for that. Say what you want about the morals of PPV v sky..

All round yours for the Hatton fight then!

i even paid for that Tyson v Mcbride fight and the Earl one.
Also the Hatton fight came on the same cable bill not good.

You might live to regret it, only the strong survive.

It aint about morals for me J, I just know Hatton v Maussa will do next to nothing to bring my pulse up unless something weird happens. It might be a unification but that doesn't make it a fight worth staying in for.

I disagree actually, Maussa will at least come to fight, and he can bang a bit, won't be pretty, but will be fast paced whilst it lasts.

Did you read in BN that only 800 odd people bought the Earl v Bennett PPV, and the Maloneys lost £17,000? I was sad to hear that.

SURE MATE IF YOU WANT YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME.
you too kil, james and anyone else who i get on with on here.

just give me the nod for numbers for beer and nuts hehehehe

lets put it this way ive never had a bad time when bigtime boxing is on.

If Maussa didn't have that WBA belt then this whole forum would be up in arms about his selection. Lets not forget he only beat Harris because Harris brought so little to the ring that night.

He did beat him though

Its a unification match in his first fight as champion, if this is true - then I am happy.

I'll gladly pay for this, I think the result is a forgone conclusion but it is still a unification match, Maussa is a geniune champion.

My thought's exactly.

Fair dues lads, enjoy it for what it's worth to you.

And it keeps Hatton busy while all this wrangling goes on.

Bigger and better matches next year I hope.
