Just wondering who is going to Sheffield to watch Hatton this weekend , i'll certainly be there.

would have gone but the tickets are way to much, me my old man and me brother with all the traveling would have come in at over £500.00 i recon, i'll get the ppv and try to go over to the states and watch Hatton next year, it will proberbly be cheaper.

I'm giving this one a miss and even finding it very hard to justify the PPV price but I know deep down I definitely won't be missing it.

I'm in Palma on a jolly up. U reckon they will be showing it anywhere?

Yep - I'll be there.

Start of three great weekends of live boxing action for me: Hatton, Hopkins and Harrison

Just a tip for people that are stopping the night, if your gunna go out on the piss after the fight i'd try Rotherham instead of Sheffield, its only a 5 minutes taxi ride from the arena and all the bars are together, where as Sheffield all the bars are spread about thus alot of walking.

The main difference is that Rotherham has more late night bars, so if you dont fancy clubbing you can just stop in the bars, i find Sheffield to be the opposite, after 11pm the bars shut & you have to go to a club or go home .

I've had many a drunken night in Rotherham

Either way i'm sure you'll have a gud un'

Not many by the sounds of things. I understand that tickets are moving slowly.

I will be watching it from the sofa.

Another tip when in Rotherham or Sheffield on a night out, is supress any Nottingham accent you may have developed, dont praise Thatcher and never, ever, get in a drinking contest with David Hirst.

Obviously Foggy is looking to share a taxi with someone!

There are plenty of boozers in Sheffield, West Street has about ten from one end to the other and three of them - at least - are open past normal last orders.

Is it true only 6000 tickets sold in an arena that holds 14,000? Where's all the loyal 20,000 fans gone, who turned up for some real Hatton walkovers in the past? Less money, less fans - FW must be rubbing his hands in glee.

Not many people are by all accounts.

Well, travelling up from London is expensive and getting back impossible, thats the reason I'm not going.

I've been to two shows in Sheffield, and enjoyed them thoroughly, the Woods v Johnson II was a cracker, especially with the Thompson fight on the undercard, and Woods v Gonzales was pretty good too, but it's not exactly round the corner.

May I add that going 'on the peevo' with Mr McNeilly in Sheffield is not for the faint-hearted.

Just to add to the excitement, it looks like snow on Friday/Saturday

Probably be a blizzard once Maussa gets warmed-up

I'm definitely Area level material when it comes to the drink!

I used to be P4P on the bevvy but these days I've calmed down.

I hope the WBC have made me "Emeritus Champion"......

I think we all punched well above our weight over that weekend mate.
