    His father, Ray, who is the champion's manager, added: "Word is we could have sold another 25,000 such was the demand. All records for fights in this country are now shattered."................................

    Hattons appeal is tremendous but it's sad for true boxing fans.

    What is the attraction of this fight.. apart from wanting to see Hatton beat the fuck out of someone?

    Wait till Team Hatton and Sky start selling Lazcano as a dangerous tough Mexican

    Utter shit match-up.

    Its sad that the only outcome that makes this worth paying for is a Hatton loss.

    Why any mug would pay to that fight is beyond me. It will be over in five rounds. Rubbish fight.

    I won't be buying the PPV. It's a bit sad really that this the fight his loyal fans gets to see, especially if he intends to fight Paulie in the states next. Maybe he'll like the atmosphere enough to fight home again next.

    Lazcano is a perfectly reasonable opponent for someone coming off a big loss. And if so many people are willing to pay see it, so what? The 50-odd thousand that show up at Eastlands will have a rare old time of it. The ticket prices are low and the PPV is how much, about £20? What the hell are you going to buy with your spare £20? A taxi fare? A pizza and crappy bottle of wine?

    And since when did a fight being over in five rounds make it a rubbish fight? Hearns-Hagler, over in three, what a load of rubbish that was!

    It's all very well for 'true boxing fans' to wail and gnash their teeth about Hatton's career path, but unfortunately there are only about 200 of you in the entire world, not enough to keep the sport going. So be grateful to us mugs who do buy into events that may not always feature two stellar names, both at the peak of their powers, in a 50-50 showdown, because we keep the machine oiled.

    Agreed and I thought Joe vs Manfreddo at Cardiff was bad enough but this tops it .

    Its a shame that legit world title fights cant pull half this crowd but I suppose its a sign of the times .
