This was the email I received from Primetime last week:

Primetime presents Hatton vs. Senchenko
Hatton Promotions have confirmed that Primetime will be the exclusive live UK broadcaster for Ricky Hatton’s epic comeback fight against Vyacheslav Senchenko. The pay-per-view operator will broadcast the headline fight as well as the full undercard on channel 498 on Sky, Virgin on Demand and streamed live via the website www.primetimeboxing.co.uk.

When Hatton retired last year he had a career of 45 wins and only two losses. After his victory over Tszyu in 2005, Hatton began to make a mark on the world boxing scene. He went on to become a world champion in two weight divisions and garnered a massive international fan base, making him one of the biggest British fighters of all time.

His loss against Manny Pacquiao in May 2009 not only knocked Hatton off his feet, but took its toll on his self-esteem and dignity.

The 24th November fight against Senchenko promises to lay some demons to rest and be marked as one of the greatest comebacks in boxing history. The ‘Hitman’ himself has stressed the personal importance of returning to the ring not just to have a comeback but to ‘redeem himself’.

"I want British boxing to be proud of me again," Hatton professed. "The only way to convince everyone I'm back is by flattening someone on 24th November."

Hatton vs Senchenko will cost £14.95 For more information call 0871 200 4444*

I think its free for new talktalk customers which is probably the reason why the thread starter got confused

Also being shown live at Cineworld cinema in Didsbury, near Manchester, just like the old closed circuit Ali fights in the 70's.

Yeah, its shown at lots of cinema's accross the UK - Odeon, Apollo - like Haye vs Chisora.

Prices are 12:50 a ticket and I aint sure you get much undercard with it starting at 10.

I've just remembered, it's only ten rounds. I'm still undecided, but 10 rounds makes me think; "Probably not".

Cineworld (Bradford) showed Haye vs Chisora live on the big screen and the whole thing left a lot to be desired. They let us in an hour before the main event, we got half a fight with zero commentary, and then a 20 minute shot of the ring with nothing happening. The people watching at home on allegedly got pundits chatting away in the studio filling the gap but people who'd paid twelve quid to see it in the cinema got a live feed from a camera on an empty ring for nearly half an hour.... with no sound either. We were sat there wondering if there'd been a technical fault or something. The main event went fine, with no technical hitches, but its not cheap to get a ticket and you'd think they'd show the undercard properly.

I saw Haye/Chisora at Sheffield, it was pretty good in all honesty.

I've got tickets for this card (don't know where just yet) and will be in Didsbury after, arf.

Not free but it should be. The 'man of the people' likes to rip us off.
