Sorry, but still can't believe how bad Hatton undercard is

Sorry to harp on about this but I still can't believe how bad the Hatton v Tszyu undercard is. We've got Danny Williams and Enzo Maccarinelli against East Euro journeymen, Wayne Alexander v some Dane, and a Commonwealth title fight. Even the Povetkin debut has gone to Germany later this month. We can only hope someone on the right-hand side of the bill turns out to be much better than expected, but on paper there is literally nothing!

It's an absolute joke of an undercard, disgraceful. They're only showing the Hatton fight on US TV.

Were it not for Hatton v Tszyu I'm not sure this card would even be up to scratch as a "Friday Fight Night".

It is pretty poor.
Some of the fights such as Danny's and Enzo's may only go a few rounds so how are they going to fill the 3 hours? Hope it's not reruns of fights we have already seen or lots of adverts and studio ramblings as this being a PPV I want new material.

i hope they fill some time with old fight clips of both tszyu and hatton as they usually do, these get you pumped up and i haven't seen that many of tszyu's fights.

Yeah it really struck me as well last night how crap the undercard is, a real waste of money, they know that Hatton-Tszyu is the big draw alright with his dire offering. Macarinelli and Williams fights are roll over jobs from a mile away and Alexander's opponent doesn't seem so stern either, i am a fan of David Barnes so watching him should be ok even though his opponent isnt a draw either. It's basically piss poor and you just know how they will fill up the time, by asking Johnny Nelson the same question in different ways over and over again or with Barry McGuigan's big words 8)

I disagree to a certain extent. If I wanted to watch some old Hatton or Tszyu fights I would stick a tape in my video.
A few brief highlights sure, to get you hyped up. But if you paying for a PPV I for one don't want to watch repeats.

Why does the schedule say that the fight is on PPV?
