Nelson Or Hatton On TV? The BIG Question?

Due to some pathetic TV scheduling the two big bills clash so which one will you choose to watch live?

Hatton, no offence to Nelson, but I'd rather see Hatton mash up Maussa, than Nelson skip around Cantatore peppering him with jabs and feints.

Nelson vs De Leon. Non-contact Boxing at it's very best.

Poor Nelson will never live that night down. Shame really.

I like Nelson when he's in the studio giving analysis but to be honest i would rather watch my toe nails grow than watch him fight.

Hatton for me even though it's a rip off...can't believe that guy Macarinelli is fighting, just checked his record while filling in my Boxing Predictions. There is no excuse for this shit being served up...8-11? Macarinelli is supposed to be a 23 fight prospect and god help us WBU "World" champion :o Shocking.

The fact that the Nelson fight is free on ITV and the Hatton fight is PPV on Sky made my mind up for me :-)

I would rather pay £50 to watch the Hatton card than watch the Nelson fight for free, seriously.

Hatton if it was free but I'm Voting with my Feet in PROTEST - poor Hatton opponent on a very poor card. I'll probably download it or something.

Let me ask a question if Hatton hadn't fought Zoo and was fighting this same fight with no title - would you buy it?

No i wouldn't...SKY are only cashing in on the Hatton bandwagon, pre-Tszyu this wouldn't have been a PPV event i don't think.

This fight will cost you guys 50 pounds? That's ridiculous.

I might actually get it. Since its only 19.95 here in the states.

He was being sarcastic Rob, saying how boring Nelson is to watch. It is costing us £15 on Pay Per View

Johnny can be a bit boring. Shame he doesn't fight like he did against Thompson all the time.

Hatton for me, looking forward to have few beers mates round.

Will Nelson fight be on FWTV to watch?

Nelson!! More a political statement really, I aint paying for that SHIT undercard.
Hoping they will show Gary Locketts fight on ITV, if Enzo gets the job done early I'm sure they will show Gary's fight.

IF? Unless Enzo carries this guy it will be over inside a round.

Don't think I'd watch Nelson, even if you paid me. I'm still hurting from the DeLeon / Warring "fights".

ITV must've been well pleased when Frank told them Hatton had gone AWOL, but he was bringing Nelson back in the fold!

What was Nelson like against De Leon? All I know id it was for the WBC title and it was a draw. :o

Rather watch Hatton, good job Maussa has the WBA otherwise I wouldn't watch this for 15 squidas Hatton's gonna kill em.

Anyone buy Nuts? Good Hatton interview in the latest one. :TU:

Says Mc Donalds and Guiness should sponsor him! :o Can;t believe he can get away with eating that shite before a fight. :o

Will have to tape one. :o

Not paying for £14.95 for Hatton, it's a rip off. I've had a bet on the draw for the Nelson fight to spark a bit of interest, a fiver at 28/1 with Will Hill to hopefully win £140. :box:

Is a rip off and it's seems it ain't getting much publicity either lik the Tszyu fight did. :roll:

Think with Warren it would gain more viewers and he would of got paid more for it when they were saying they left because they wern't getting paid enough. :roll:

Wouldn't mind PPV it was Mayweather or someone good.

This was the most boring World Title fight I have ever seen, neither deserved to win. First off it was a bad mix stylewise as you had two defencive minded counter-punchers facing each other and neither of them wanted to 'take the lead'. Also Johnny completely froze that night and hardly throwed a punch all night. Add to that De Leon was always a lazy fighter unless pushed so the result was neither fighter did anything all night.

It was horrid viewing.
