I personally dont think I will, I do want to watch the fight, but I dont think its right being charged for a 10 round fight against somebody Paulie outclassed in his last fight. If he was fighting somebody decent I would pay the money, but I think its a lot for a comeback.
back to fleecing the fans. nope
Boxing is a business. Not participating is the best way to make your point.Quote:

bet its 3 years since I paid for a fight now - up to then I reckon I had paid for 90% of every ppv event ever shown on Sky. No more
Really want to see it but nope I won't be shelling out extra for a guy coming of a 3 year lay off against an average opponent. It's just not right is it ?? :-\
Then it leaves one option!!!
Streaming it for free through this site or "boxing guru "
Boxing has always been, money driven Hatton has plenty but he will make a lot more the show, has sold
out he had a large fan base, and on top PPV talk about icing on the cake.!
Please what a bunch of negative Nelly's. This is an event. Any fan of Hatton and I am a hardcore one new bloody well that he was not going to go out the way he did.
It's ppv worthy on his name alone with the term comeback and at least he's coming out of retirement and fighting a known fighter and not some local schlep. Yeah Paulie beat him and Hatton scalped Paulie.
I have not purchased a ppv in years. No need.
Hatton has never been worth ppv in my eyes. Only against the pretty boy.
so what are you saying by that last sentence ?Quote:

If hatton doesnt blow up between fights that will tell you if hes changed or not.
It's just a bit annoying its a 10 round fight though, we have thought it would have been 12.
it wont last 10Quote:

I agree there's some good undercards, hopefully there's no stoppage on the Quigg-Monroe like last time and we get a decent fight.
my money is on MonroeQuote:

i really like the Steven Foster fight too, if foster had made the weight and is in good shape that should be a good fight
Like Mark TKO my days of buying PPV are long gone. They've had enough of my dough over the years.
I'll happily ponce a nice stream.
No way. If anyone has a stream then please PM me because I am a tight old man now.
This should be free on channel 5 for his first fight back!
its worth £15
you get to sit back in your arm chair with just the TV remote, no pc no fighting with streaming sites just you your beers the tv remote and your mate phil
you can pause it and rewind it while you have a piss or a spliff
id pay the £15 for the luxuries it brings with such a nice night of boxing
in fact it will only be £7.50 coz phil will chip in
mind you my beers and all that will bump up the price a bit
cheaper than a night in the white horse mind :)
I agree with all that mate but its the principle with me now these days - even if it was £5 I wouldn't pay for it
its fair enough, when you already pay for sky and boxnation and theres lots of PPV fights that have turned out shitQuote:

Especially when you're A) coming off a brutal, humiliating KO loss and B) coming back from a 3 year period of crazy weight gain and drug abuse. It would be absolutely rediculous for him to come back and fight a world beater. He needs to get back in the ring, get his confidence back and get a win under his belt, then go from there. Senchenko isn't a pushover and he can punch, so I think it's a reasonable comeback fight.
Mike Tyson didn't come back and fight Evander or Lewis right out of the gate. I know people will mention Ray Leonard fighting Hagler right out of the gate, but that's the exception not the rule. Hatton is in a very different place in his career than Leonard was at that time.
i am not blasting him for choice of opponent at all. I think its fair and agree with what you sayQuote:

Then that could have been ppv on Sky , and I woul dhave had no problems with that. Though if that comes off I will be at the fight more than likely
Oh no doubt, I agree with you there. I moreso aimed it at people who were pissed he wasn't fighting someone better.Quote:
