Perhaps Hatton's team are putting the dampeners on the castillo talk for 2 reasons:-

1. If they do make the fight, it will be a smaller purse for Castillo and a bigger one for Hatton - stating that it's a risk putting the show on the road finacially, given that Castillo managed 140 for a 135 fight...he might weigh 145 for the light-welter weigh in.

2. If Castillo is actually banned, then obviously they have already leaked a mandatory defence against Urkal is somewhere in the frame...to fall back on and avoid flak from the WBA.

I think that Hatton's team should hope for a ban - and let it pave the way for a Cotto fight in September.


Although personally i would love to watch a JLC / Hatton tear up.
