who's showing hatton malignaggi?

[steviek]

has there been any announcement about who's broadcasting the fight in the uk yet?

[robpalmer135]

i guess sky and setanta are bidding for it. Setanta outbid them for Calzaghe vs Jones Jnr, but with them already showing Haye and Calzaghe that month, can't see them being to fussed abut Hatton.

[The Lads]

I heard rumour of a UK leg of a sky show, so my guess is sky ppv

[steviek]

i'd presumed sky box office, imagine there may be a confirmation this week, think there's a uk press conference?

If so who here will be buying it? Pretty near to xmas might not bother might just go to a bar and watch it then record it when its show on normal sky within a week :D

yes i'm pretty tight

[dwilson]

I would be very surprised if this is not Sky PPV.

[HOF]

Setanta have already forked out for Calzaghe and Haye's fights in November so this fight will be on Sky - and that'll be Sky Box Office for sure now that Khan's career has gone tits up and Ricky still hasn't finished counting the money from his last stateside fight on the same channel

i'd buy, might not if other two fights weren't on setanta but feel like i'm saving money when i get those two for a tenner

[saturday_kid]

Yeah thats true, Hatton, Haye and Calazaghe all fighting in the same month and only having to ppv for 1 (with the others coming in a monthly subscription) is a pretty good deal

[steviek]

read this morning that hatton was sat with de la hoya in vegas on saturday night even though he was meant to be ill on saturday, anyone seen the coverage? there was a link on main forum on sunday for video of the fight but can't find it now, anyone got the link?

[Anthony Farnell]

Announcement on Skysports news soon about Hatton.

[steviek]

sky sports news just announced fight is on sky box office

I don't have a link but I saw it.
He didn't look ill but a bit overweight, I've seen him look alot bigger though :yep
He said he's going back to England to train with Lee Beard and then Mayweather sr is coming over later to oversee things.
He was interviewed by that guy from saved by the bell too :hey:think

[Beeston Brawler]

He is less overweight than I have seen him for a while - still with nine weeks to go to fight night.

I would have been surprised if the fight was anywhere but on SBO, he is their Golden Boy afterall.

looks ok to me

[dwpainz]

with it being on sky i will probley order it as i havnt got a sky sports subscription so cant watch it for free a week later i only got setanta.
The only thing that bugs me is u cant sky + it and have to record it strait on to vhs if u want to record it.

I think they've changed that now mate, i still have the Khan fight on my sky + box 2 weeks after the fight took place.

Oh Really nice one bud will try that out i can understand them doing it for the movies but for the boxing i couldnt. the only problem i get with sky+ is 90% of the hard drive is taken up by my fights which gives my missus the right hump lol i suppose i should get the old vhs recorder down and transfer them all

[Prince Laz]

Looks like I'm gonna be watching that in some club/pub, fuck paying for it.

I couldnt sky + Khan Prescott live either!

[rooq]

I'll probably find a stream for it.

To be honest the fight don't excite me enough to warrant shelling out more money. I've got Setanta and Sky Sports so paying another £15 on top of those two for a fight I'm not all that fussed about just doesn't appeal.

same here. i didn't mind paying for hatton-mayweather as that was a worthy ppv (seeing a british fighter in with the p4p number 1).

i'd probably pay for hatton - manny if that ever happens, but it takes something special for me to shell out for a ppv.
