£15 for the Hatton-Lazcano mega-fight....hmmmm????
I don't think I will bother myself this time.
I'm a boxing fan, and normally would pay out for a half-decent bill (I was stupid enough to pay for the Hatton-Uruango hugfest), but I ain't a mug any more.
What about the rest of you?

Nah I will not be bothering.
If I want to watch a guy cuddle another man I will watch channel 4.

Us lot will be having a piece of it like, interested to see how he looking
and how his confidence doing after Mayweather, also wanna see if he corrected any of the 'lets lean in head first issues'....
Plus John Travolta on the card and he gonna try and look good for the Hatton showdown, might be an interesting night.....:think

No, I am being tempted, if the rumours of hattons preperations being bad persist I will would pay to see him loose. Do you think if he got a really obvious hometown decision people would boo???
Its not the price thats an issue to me, its the principal. The response that I got from Sky when I complained really really offended me.

I do not mind paying the £15 for the big fights but this fight hardly ranks above most domestic fights.

in the Manchester Evening News it said Hatton has a chest infection and so he's taking a few days off training, but he won't postpone the fight and he'll still be ready.
and no, 90% of the people who go to the show will not boo the decision even if his opponent is robbed.

I won't be buying it but not out of any resentment toward Hatton or the fact it is PPV purely because it is on primetime Saturday night.
The early morning fight times suit me better.
Sky will repeat it at some point or the BBC might. If it was a big fight I would happily pay and it would be on post pub/club.
I am curious to see how Hatton comes out for this one though.

He wont have changed anything, remember his tactics were spot agaisnt Mayweather and it was only the ref that cost him the fight, he was even after 6 rounds..............................HAHAHAHAHAHHAA

no chance, it's free here but I won't be watching it. It'll be another hook-hold-wrestle snoozer.
I really hope Lazcano comes to fight and knocks Ricky out cold.

they told me that the reason the fight was on sky box office was so non sky sports subscribers could watch the fight.
