SKy Sports just - Hatton v Pac set for May in USA ??

[Mark TKO]

exactly - midnight here would be 7pm in New York and what 4pm west coast ??

Is that too unreasonable for a Saturday fight in USA


let the american audience have a fight at an irregular time for a change. We been suffering for years - just this once guys come on

I REALLY wanted to see this live at Wembley Ive already persuaded some of my mates to come down too. It would have been a huge event.

Well, I'll have to watch another big fight on a screen in the middle of the pissing night.....Again. Sick of this shit.

Ricky is our fighter (british) wanting to fight at home why should we have to suffer stopping up all night why not the Americans there isnt even an American fighter fighting.

I think Wembley was ONLY a serious possibility for the Oscar fight.

No one outside the hardcore knows who Pac is here.. judging by the media in the run-up to the Oscar fight.

Don't know why Arum said "5am".. American TV has been happy with 1-2am plenty of times in the past.. Bruno-Witherspoon, Calzaghe-Lacy, Hatton-Tsyzu, Haye-Enzo.. But if the fighters will earn the same/more dough in Vegas then that's where they'll do it.

They are completely reasonable times to watch a fight you are interested in. I have to watch fights between 10am and 1pm where I live. I watch them all (except for the bloody Toney fight) because I love boxing. Im sure all the Brits that stay up until 5am do it because they love their boxing. 7pm and 4pm are reasonable times to watch a live EVENT. And an event it is.

Its time Ricky showed some backbone and muscle when it comes to the wrangling outside the ring. Lazacano drew that many and he's a bum. Let the homebase see a real fight. They've waited long enough.

Fukk Bob Arum. This is a Brit and a Filipino thing. Wembley Stadium has been brought up for months. Manny said he would fight at England, Ricky wants it. Why should the people of England have to watch it in the US? It involves nobody in the US. It would be more succesful here. 100,000 people would go to watch it LIVE. How many fit in the MGM ? No where near that. Bob Arum calling the shots, old bastard
