And Hatton's fans haven't shown much class during national anthems before, so HBO would have no reason to go out of their way to show them either.
Calzaghe-Hopkins wasn't HBO PPV (i think) and had the anthems.

Your second point is more like it. Earlier in the week Hatton asked his fans (on Brit TV) to not boo the USA anthem. In the end, they obviously thought better than to trust the hooligans (although it didn't look like that many were there anyway.. barring Liam and Noel).
