Would/Will you pay for Hatton-Lazcano?

[ThePlugInBabies]

so this looks like wickys most likely fight in may, probably at eastlands. if sky snap this one up i imagine they'll be charging us £15 to watch wicky wrestle and bore his way to a W.

will you be paying? i most certainly shall not.

[rendog67]

they will find a way to build it up and get peoples attention so i think it will do well, and if they are smart they should have a good undercard.

i get it free, but if i didn't i think i would

[Betty Swollocks]

too right I will, this is yet another p4p all time great Ricky is taking on, he's the best opponent out there! Ricky is the man, long live Ricky.

[Jimbo]

15 whole pounds? I'll be watching round a mates house anyway so will probably just have to chip in beers and pizza.

:gayfight

[dwilson]

I've already got sky so hopefully they will just show us the fight but if they decide tp pay per view it then I will not bother. I will deeply pissed off if this fight turns ppv.

[Jimbo]

:gayfight

:lol: *ahem* I mean ... [insert name of sufficiently heterosexual food to eat while watching boxing].

[Beatboxer]

Im certainly not buying it.

If one of my buddies(one of those horrid casual boxing fans) wants to have the lads round to play some cards, have some beer and a chinese then im game.

Im not paying for it though.

[achillesthegreat]

This WAS a good fight when first made but not really anymore. Lazcano was on a nice run back in the day.

If Ricky wants a real fight then its all about Torres, Malignaggi, Rees and Witter!!! No elites amongst them, just good top quality titlists.

Torres is exciting, Malignaggi can talk up a bout and Rees and Witter needs no selling in the UK!

[Cobbler]

No way this fight will be ppv.

[ThePlugInBabies]

the paulie bout looks to be set in stone for the autumn in new york to be fair.

[elle]

:lol: *ahem* I mean ... [insert name of sufficiently heterosexual food to eat while watching boxing].


Stick with the pizza - whats wrong with a boxing fan enjoying a slice of deep pan?!

[Tony Harrison]

I wouldn't pay to watch it. If the fight is on UK time I might get some homies round for gin and juice etc. but I am certainly not waiting up till dawn to watch Ricky smash this fella up.

[ThePlugInBabies]

No way this fight will be ppv.

financially it may have to be for them to make because it won't be primetime stateside.

[doggyland]

:lol: *ahem* I mean ... [insert name of sufficiently heterosexual food to eat while watching boxing].

Chops ;)

Leave the pizza for the ladies to pick at :lol: :good

:shock:

Witter can walk down the hallway of his own house without getting recognised.

I'll ask my mate to prepare some pork/lamb/mutton chops but I think he may tell me to fuck off.

Any other tips about effeminate food to avoid? Next you'll be telling me the cous cous that I'm tucking into at the moment is questionable.

[elle]

Could 'chop' up some pork or lamb and have that as your pizza topping!

[Jimbo]

Back to the point I would much rather he fought (in order of preference):

1. Witter.

[large gap]

2. Torres.
3. Malignaggi.
4. Rees.

But will still watch Hatton v Lazcano since I watch almost all boxing that's on TV, it'll have a decent undercard and £15 is fuck all so it would be perverse to avoid watching the fight on principle.

However if it's on at 4.30 am like the Mayweather fight I reserve the right to change my mind.

[elle]

More of a thin crust "man" myself.

Tried the stuffed crust variety? Its a must for us pizza lovers! :good

[brown bomber]

i'll sky plus it- fastforward through the build up and adverts and most of the fight only to stop at the final bell and watch a demotivated Hatton collect a unimpressive UD. Hattons my fave fighter and a good bloke but I hate this fight almost as much as I hate Khans next one.

[Jimbo]

I think it's holding it by the bone that makes it manly.

Red meat + tearing from the bone with teeth = indisputibly hetero.

Cous Cous is the Kenneth Williams of wheat based products. Why not go the whole hog and have a tomato salad 'on the side' :think

Your mate sounds like a real man.:yep

There is a small glimmer of hope that this fight won't actually happen whereas Khan's has been announced.

Anyway, you can always console yourself with some pizza. :good

i get it free, but if i didn't i think i would

Me too, I get it free but I would pay for even if I didn't.

So if Hatton fights Malignaggi you will give your constant slavering on the boards a rest re fighting Witter?

So if Hatton fights Malignaggi you will give your constant slavering on the boards a rest re fighting Witter?Of course not. The number 1 and Number 2 ARE SUPPOSED to fight. Witter has earned his shot and is the 2nd best the division has to offer. If Ricky wants to mark time fighting guys like Paulie then so be it if a world title is at stake. But its hardly the fight true "fans" are interested other than yourself of course.

I've said many times I want the fight to be made. If he decided to fight PM then that wouldn't bother me either.

If Witter was Peruvian or Polish then the clamour for him to fight Hatton would be next to zero.

It's a fight that I wouldn't mind seeing, but it's by no means the be all and end all that you appear to believe. If the division wasn't so low on quality and charisma then frankly it would be a minor attraction.

If the division wasn't so low on quality and charisma then frankly it would be a minor attraction.Of course because its brimming with elite belt holders like Paulie Ree`s and Torres right? Get the fuck out of here with your fortune cookie bullshit.:roll:

Seeing as Ricky routinely gets beaten back to 47 then it sure as hell is the fight that NEEDS to be made.

[Cobbler]

Of course because its brimming with elite belt holders like Paulie Ree`s and Torres right? Get the fuck out of here with your fortune cookie bullshit.:roll:



You appear to have read my statement that the division is 'low on quality and charisma' as 'the division is brimming with elite belt holders'.

I'm not really sure how.

[Healy]

Definately NO

The only two opponents that Hatton could fight at 140 and get my money for it is Paulie and Witter, thats only a maybe for both them too

[Beatboxer]

Id pay for the Witter fight.

I would also like to see a Juan Diaz fight come to fruition.

Paulie is a decent alternative.

[mike464]

This will be the first PPV I haven't bought in a long time

[KCD]

Yes i would just to see if the Mayweather loss has taken anything out of him? Plus i think we are on the last leg of Hattons career and i think it will be a good punch up whilst it lasts...4 rounds tops?

[rooq]

i wouldn't pay for this fight. but i'm sure setanta will snap it up and show it for free anyway.

i think even sky realise that this fight is not ppv material.

[Sprint]

I won't be paying for this fight, although I will definitely watch it to see what Hatton performs like having lost his undefeated record. I'd rather go out and then watch it the day after.

[kurt2006]

Apart from a fight with Witter I would not pay to watch Hatton. I would rather pay to watch that cheap tacky japanese womens wrestling on Fight Network than Ricky trying to emulate John Ruiz.

[john b]

That is true but if its only in manchester I might go and try buy tickets. Yes the opponent could have been better but he as just come of a moralising defeat so maybe he his due a tune up.

[ThePlugInBabies]

apparently it's just been reported on sky sports news that hatton-lazcano has been confirmed and that it will be on sky ppv.

so much for giving something back to the fans. :roll:

he's a real peoples man is our wicky.

[robpalmer135]

sorry didnt realise there was already a thread!

Its a shit PPV granted, but being charged £15 is hardly putting it beyond the reach of people. Sky probably figure if you're stupid enough to pay £45 a month for TV then you'll pay £15 to watch Hatton.

[MON]

I bought the Tszyu, Urango, Maussa, Castillo, Collazo and Mayweather fights.

This one is unlikely though....

The only consolation is that it's being fought at a good time for Brits instead of the early hours.

[robpalmer135]

its not pay £15 to watch thought is it, its £40.

[ThePlugInBabies]

yeah, good old wicky doing something for his fans.

[MON]

It's £15.

[JamboGoz]

Rob,

Cancel Sky Sports for a month and book the PPV. You'll be a tenner up which can get you some chops and a few beers ;)

[GazOC]

His fans have choice of going to the stadium or paying £15. Either way its pretty easily doable.

Bottom line is professional boxers fight for money, perhaps Haye should have taken a pay cut to ensure his fight went out at a reasonable hour for his fans in the UK? No? But then again, people don't seem to have an agenda against Haye....

[robpalmer135]

its £40 for hatton vs lazcano and some domestic fights, or £10 with setanta for all the great fights they are showing!

[MON]

its £40 for hatton vs lazcano and some domestic fights, or £10 with setanta for all the great fights they are showing!

You only have sky sports for boxing???

[robpalmer135]

No I have it for Football and Tennis as well and my dad has it for golf. Setanta, ITV and BBC show Football, Tennis and Golf!!!


Money is not an issue to me, its the principal. I can afford it, others cannot!

[JamboGoz]

its £40 for hatton vs lazcano and some domestic fights, or £10 with setanta for all the great fights they are showing!

No, its £15 for hatton v lazcano.

Its £25 for your Sky Sports package.

You're right about Setanta showing great fights but the rest of their package is pretty keek imo, apart from when the Jambos are on of course :yep

[GazOC]

No I have it for Football and Tennis as well and my dad has it for golf. Setanta, ITV and BBC show Football, Tennis and Golf!!!

Hatton and the quaility of fight aside. How many people can honestly say they can't afford £15? If people don't think its worth £15 then thats a different issue and they have the right not to pay.

[JamboGoz]

Spot on Gaz.

If you're a boxing / Ricky fan you would make sure you could afford it one way or another. Have a few mates round and split the cost, that way you have a nice session with mates, lager and boxing. A great combo if ever there was one. :thumbsup

[Beatboxer]

I probably wouldn't bother watching this if it was on sky sports one.

[john b]

15 pound its neither here or there. I mean at least its not has bad as the americans will be shelling out nearly forty quid to watch floyd and oscar again.

[UK2004]

Will pay because love Hatton but not excited at all about the fight.

[steelem]

tell you what - ild rather pay the 15 to sky - than the 120-00 to sentanta - sky have my 50-00 a month sentanta a tenner a month ild rather scrap the sentanta & pay for the fights which is what 2-3 a year - ild be in pocket if sky got there act together

[Jack Dempsey]

I'll pay £15 if the cunts don't show any adverts, the motherfuckers at Sky are raking it in, advertising revenue, subscription fee, ppv fee. Everyone at Sky should be wearing a mask, fucking robbers

[bratwurzt]

Why can't you vote for 2 and 4?

[rendog67]

i get it free if not i wouldnt

[HOF]

Couldn't believe it when I read this is gonna be on Sky Box Office. Have no issue with Hatton taking a lesser figher after his loss last time out but Sky are having a laugh - how the fuck is this pay per view?!?!?! Although to be fair they did one of the great marketing jobs in recent times getting so many sales for the Mayweather fight when anyone who knew anything about boxing knew Hatton couldn't win the fight

[brown bomber]

I love all these people who are coming out saying they were so cetain Floyd would win easy after the fight.

[HOF]

I love all these people who are coming out saying they were so cetain Floyd would win easy after the fight.

My mates were adamant this was gonna be a great fight and stayed up all night excited. I didn't let on that I had a huge bet on Mayweather cos I would've taken a shoeing! I wanted Ricky to win but knew he couldn't. It was if as people didn't realise there was gonna be such a size difference until they saw them stand next to each other at the weight in. How the f*ck can a less talented smaller fighter beat an infinietly more gifted bigger fighter?!? Was never gonna happen and unfortunately I had the money to show for it afterwards

[dan-b]

Nope I shan't be paying for this. I'm sick of Ricky Hatton now, the whole "for the fans" stuff is wearing seriously thin.

[girv]

Nope.

I was lucky enough to get a couple of tickets to see the PBF fight, spent 5 nights at the MGM grand, spent the xmas money, had a great time and dont grudge a penny.

But no way am I paying £15 to see a gimme fight. I dont really grudge Ricky an easy fight, I just refuse to pay for it.

It will be repeated on normal sky sometime in the next week or so anyway.

[mike464]

I have paid for all of Hatton's Box Office fights but I'm not going to any more unless he fights Witter. The only way I'd pay for this one is if they put Witter on the undercard and promised to fight him afterwards. It won't happen. It'll be Matthew Hatton as the main support and I hate watching his fights.

matthew hatton is an absolute Waxk fighter I wish someone would just put him out his misery

[Polymath]

Oh come on only British Hatton fans gave him any real chance. The oddmakers and anyone with any kind of impartiality knew the result when it was signed.

No. PPV is getting absurd.
