This card is going to be a disaster for all concerned, Only Hatton and Macklin know who they are going to fight every one else will be waiting until a few hours before , I would be suprised if they have sold out most off the people was only going to see Calzaghe anyway, I bet anyone they put Farnell and Lockett in against muppetts, with all the cock ups this year on spunks nadworks shows i bet warren will be sitting there dribbling in the corner, what would happen if anything ever happens to Hatton

I would have thought Hatton would have been the main ticket seller, not Calzaghe, despite the fact that Calzaghe was fighting for a genuine title, I don't think he's going to get his fans driving down to Manchester.

yeah, Farnell means a lot more than Calzaghe to most of those fans, they wont be too gutted.

Yip always seemd a strange move to me having the better title fight away from his home but that simply cos Hatton sells more tickets than Joe would even in Cardiff.

Well, that's it in a nutshell, Calzaghe I am sure can sell out a fair bit in Cardiff, but Hatton's fans won't travel there, at least not that many of them, much safer bet, especially in hindsight, to have the fight at the MEN.

All the main fights Joe has had in cardiff there are always ticket sellers on the card as well, the newport place only holds 5k i think, he would'nt sell out his front room (unless he was with his new bird)
