Thread: HBO Greatest Hits: Hatton

Did anyone see this from HBO? It's pretty much like this:
"Look at the big shot wobble Hatton... and ANOTHER big shot hurts him."
"Hatton comes in... takes a big shot his is holding on"
His only highlight real of late is Castillo. I am a Hatton fan. And I know that his style of fighting is extremely taxing. But, he delivers a good fight.
Back to the point of this thread. What wouldn't HBO dig in the archives a little and find some really highlights for the guy? Tackie, Moussa, Tszyu.... I mean they weren't on HBO, but how do they expect to sell this fight if the Hitman looks like dog-poo?

Should be "Hatton's greatest hits... that he blocked with his skull".

Not seen it myself but typical of who controls what with the TV companies aint it re footage of fights..

They probably can't get the fottage from Frank Warren, who owns the rights to all Hatton's fights up to and including Tszyu. He also owns all Calzaghe's fight footage apart from the Jones fight.

That's the only footage they have the rights to.
