Boooooo.

Been reading the goings on about this fight on here over the last few days and I'm just as peeved as anybody, really thought this would be a cracker and fancied Pinto to defeat Ricky. Thing is, I'm also one of these people who wondered if this fight was ever going to happen, enough people have hinted at it over time. :cry:

Sky text are reporting it too. "Pinto pulls out of Hatton Fight"
They explain Hatton's Team are frantically looking for a replacement.
They are siting "Problems between Pinto and his management".
Quotes from Frank explaining that he was given various of excuses.
Pinto's wife was having a baby.
Then Management problems.
And flu was there as well.

Ideally we'd get Hatton-Mitchell on Saturday now but that's not going to happen. Wonder if Cotto fancies it.......... :roll:
