It seems they are making it up as they go along.
What a shit undercard. But as the saying goes "You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear"
PPV will be a joke if Hatton goes quickly. Nothing else on show other than novices and Warren rejects.
Why no Clinton Woods? Rumour is The Greedy Family from Manchester are refusing to cut their cake too many times.
Why pay others when you can keep it all for yourselves?
Waterman and Hobson (Steptoe and Son) are getting a small fee to stage the show for 'Carpetbagger and Son' and they have no say. Watch them get royaly fucked off after this one when another cheap mug is sourced for less money.
My tip: It won't sell out, the show will be crap. Both the Hatton's will get beat too. Any takers?
You do talk some crap.
You should save it for when a letter from the authorities drops on your bosses doormat.
He is in severe trouble.
HMM DOES SEEM FW HAS PUT HIS FOOT IN IT.
Boxingchat dont think you are really in position to criticise undercards after the Zoo Hatton fight.
That undercard was truly awful and makes this look fantastic.
Tell you one thing if hatton had lost the whole fornicating place would have gone off, you couldnt get a beer for love nor money, the public knew the undercard was crap and spent the whole time in the outer part of the MEN getting pissed. My mate got asked if he was was Manc in a rather aggressive manner and half the lads didnt even try to get to the bar as it was futile and intimidating for some.
didnt bother me I hasten to add, but these things dont but still queing for 45 mins nearly sparring 3 people out for being chavs and trying it on and then getting 4 pints of piss warm cider instead of lager was not ideal.
there were 22 thousand folk going through the same thing and the frustration factor was high, if hatton had lost I truly belive a riot would have ensued.
a lot of people were not happy at the heat, lack of facilities to even get water and the dire undercard being passed off as enterainment add to this 2 am start and yes you can be very thankful indeed hatton won.
feel free to answer any of the above allegations and if you can to a decent level then of course feel free to criticise others promotions, however if you cant then I suggest you shut the fornicate up and get your own house in order.

I was also at that fight in Manchester and totally agree with J on this.

I was also there. I was driving so laid off the pop but the guy I was with was passengering. He decided after about 10pm that he'd knock the beer on the head as well because the whole queueing thing was so ridiculous. And he's like J, not shy in the slightest. We sat in the main hall for four hours watching occasional blowouts of numpties and endless adverts for Amir Khan. The main feeling wasn't even anticipation, it was, 'This had better be worth it...'
Unquestionably the worst undercard I have ever seen, and I've seen a few. No complaints about the names, but the matchmaking was abysmal. Barnes - Okine was decent but it took that fight to wake everyone up from the pile of arse they'd sat through beforehand.

Of course it will seem poor after the extravaganza of an undercard that was laid on by SN on the Hatton v Tszyu show.

That's coz they had to pay your bitch all the money. Seems the same is happening again oin Sheffield. Carpet's!

Definitively, what is the Hatton undercard?
Don't take this as gospel as it's bound to change further between now and the 26th:
Ricky Hatton V Carlos Maussa
Geard Ajetovic V Eugenio Montero
Roman Greenberg V ?
Carl Thompson V ?
Matt Macklin V ?
Matthew Hatton V ?
Billy Dib V ?
Nicky Semdley v ?
Stuart Brookes v ?
What a bag of shite then!! I aint gonna pay for that, and I ALWAYS get the box office fights. I'll watch the Nelson gig instead.
Locketts boxing in Rome too (matched up with evil old TBA, Dean Powel strikes again), hope it makes the tv.

Monterio vs Ajetovic is a decent little match up, thats a big step up for the amateur star.

Sports Network didnt pay hatton all the income from the Tszyu show. As will be evidenced in the Court Hearing.................
If Warren has the bottle to proceed.

May well be, but still not worthy of chief support on a Box Office event.

Anymore info on the undercard?

With 2 weeks to go it's looking dire - and an chief support "special", featuring a Yuogoslavian prospect v a Portuguese journeyman doesn't make it any better.
I hate to miss any Hatton fights, but I'm gonna struggle to justify the PPV on this one.

The undercard would have to be scorching for me to buy a PPV with Carlos Maussa in the main event. As it is I'm not going near it on principle.

We're not far off now -- has no more of the card been solidified at this point?

What? You mean that someone else earned money and got a return on their massive investment. How dare they I bet the judge will be shocked!
