I've gone in a year from someone who was looking to go to Vegas to watch him fight Mayweather (and would have had the ticket prices not been scandalous) to not even bothering to buy the PPV tomorrow because I don't feel PPV is justified for this.

And Sky are getting on my tits with their crappy cliched coverage of the build up too.

you wouldnt feel like that if he hadnt lost, you'll say thats not the case but it is

am i wrong but isnt mallignagi considered the second best super lightweight after hatton?

this is a big fight, not the biggest ever at the weight like someone said in another thread but it is interesting. i dont think hatton should fight dlh, i would be much more interested in seeing him face pacquiao or juan manuel marquez or even cotto. if hatton can win and hasnt lost it like alot of people think (i dont) there is some really good fights left for him in the next year or two before he retires

Hmmm interesting point and one I hadn't considered.

I guess Hatton losing has had an impact on how I feel and if Hatton was fighting Paulie Malliwhathisface on Saturday still unbeaten with a win over Mayweather on his ledger it would kind of make it more interesting to me.

But that's the point. He did lose and has done nothing since then so in my opinion hasn't beaten a top top fighter since 2005.

So this fight is not worth PPV to Goz and to me now Ricky seems to be trading more on 'my amazing fans' than his ability as top possible p4p rated fighter.

Well quite, its a very competetive fight between 2 top 5 140 pounders, sadly the old women brigade arent interested in this fight because they dont like Hatton's personality or his voice, or because he repeats himself in interviews or eff knows what....


Interesting to note its the same whinging old women who weren't interested in Calzaghe - Jones because it wasnt a "competetive matchup"...

Absolutely - Khan was the biggest rip off in the history of televised sport in the UK in my opinion.

I think the £50+ a month I already give Sky should get me this fight though. That's my prerogative - it's not worth £15 to me.

I understand why I might need to stump up when they are putting together a mega-fight like the PBF one but not this, not for me.

The Lazcano PPV was worse though, at least as you say this is between the 2 arguably best Light Welters out there.

And how many do you think are on the BNP list? I hear he has a lot of racists following him, any truth?

An example is DLH-Mayweather which we recieved on normal sky, yet we had to pay £15 for Mayweather-Hatton. Alright I know DLH was past it and would have sparked the loudmouth 10 years ago but surely DLH-Mayweather is a bigger fight.
