    Word is this fight will be rescheduled for November 8. The Hatton fight isn't PPV in the US, at least. It's on regular HBO.

    Im not sure that the UKs 3 marque names would be allowed to fight within 2wks of each other, Hatton is ppv over here.

    My bet is mid December.

    I think Sky are going to get the Calzaghe fight and put it on Sports 1 kind of as an appetiser for the Hatton PPV 2 weeks later. I personally am looking forward to the Jones-Calzaghe fight more than Hattons but he is such a big name in brithish boxing he will demand more PPV sales than Calzaghe even though he is fighting RJJ.

    That the fight will be on in November, given away "free" by Sky.

    Its Warren who is contracted to Setanta. Thats why Setanta have stopped saying "plus the next Joe Calzaghe fight". I heard Joe's in discussions with Sky and that could be part of the reason he got "injured". Also if HBO want the fight on November 8th then it will be then no matter what any britsh TV company say. Therefore if it does go through with Sky I really can't see them having both Hatton and Calzaghe on PPV in such a short time so they'll go with the one that will sell most which will probably be Hatton.

    Hope so! but i have a feeling that Calzaghe would have had to sign a contract with Setanta too. Im sure Setanta would have thought about just this thing coming up.

    He could still end up with Setanta if they offer the best deal but he is not contracted to them. This is the exact way it is worded in Boxing news "Calzaghes recent split from sports network means he is no longer bound to Setanta, making both ITV and Sky Box Office viable options to televise the Jones match" (july 11th 2008 page 9) Well this was when it was set for sept 20 but now its looking like november if Sky offer the right amount he may well settle for Sky sports 1.
