In a boxingtalk interview with the Bobfather (here: http://www.boxingtalk.com/pag/article11080.html), he says that while Hatton and Castillo's less than stellar performances might have hurt the promotion for their fight if it was PPV, it won't matter here since they'll be fighting on HBO World Class Boxing and won't have any trouble selling out the Thomas & Mack.

He also makes it official that Margarito is vacating his alphabet strap to avoid fighting Paul Williams.
