Now this ? I agree it is bullshit.

If Vegas thinks it will be same turnout as last year they are grossly mistaken. Malignaggi is Vauxall Conference next to Mayweather and with things how they are at moment in UK financially, theres no chance of 20 thousand going across, no chance.

Hell a lot of those I bet are still recovering from the expense of last year's trip. I blew just over 2k on that trip and theres no way I would consider spending anything like that again - the best Brit fighter against the best in the world was all it needed to sell it and I knew I just had to be there. A vast contrast to this fight.

At least NY would have been different venue, shorter flight etc.. - and die hard Ricky fans would love to see him fight at the Garden !

This is a bad move for the fans if you ask me
New york flights might be cheaper but when you add the price of hotels New York is more expensive than Vegas.

The reality is either Vegas or New York, it's not cheap for Hatton fans. If he's really doing it "for the fans" then have the fight in UK. Paulie already declared he's ready to face Hatton in UK.
