Good to see the camaraderie between the two biggest names in British boxing today. They've both always struck me as decent guys and fairly humble, except when promoting their fights.
A few of the wannabes (Witter, Froch etc) might be well advised to take a page out of their book, and let their fighting do the hyping for them, instead of having to shoot off their mouths constantly.

UK TICKET INFO

Hatton vs. Mayweather Ticket Update

12.08.07 - By Paul Speak: There has been a lot of speculation in the press and media about the availability of tickets for this fight. The venue has still not been finalised. I have liaised with Richard Schaefer, Chief Executive Officer of Goldenboy Promotions. Richard has informed me that it is hoped a venue will be confirmed within the next week.

Once the venue has been confirmed, there will be a 2-3 week count down to the global release of tickets for the fight.

Goldenboy Promotions has confirmed that there will be a large number of tickets for fans travelling from the United Kingdom and Europe for what is likely to be the fight of the year.

Once an allocation of fight tickets for the United Kingdom has been agreed with Goldenboy Promotions, a box office, based in Manchester, will release the tickets on a date to be agreed with Goldenboy Promotions.

Prior to the fight there will be a promotional tour with Mayweather and Hatton. The tour will take in various cities in the United States of America and the United Kingdom.

The public are invited to these events and your support for Ricky will be appreciated.

I booked a couple of week back. I fly out (Manchester) on the 5th December, to Heathrow, then on to LA. From there I drive (3 hours ish) to Vegas. Stay there till Sunday night then back to La for a couple of days . Cannot wait now lads just hope I can get hold of a ticket

Should be okay. The UK ticket agent is confident they can accomodate the demand from over this side of the pond.

Guys i think he can do it......
I really think he can do it, altho im nervous as hell already...

So...say there's a travelling support of 12-15,000, how many seats are Americans getting if the ticket agent can fill all the Brit ticket requests? 3 in the corner perhaps....

Iam getting nervous about getting a ticket as like alot of you i have booked hotel and flight.

P*ssed off i can't make it

[Mark TKO]

As am away from tomorrow night and won't be in UK to sort it out myself and 5 mates have provisionally booked a 3 day package with Thomas Cook on the reserve list. They ain't got the tickets yet but are confident they will get more allocated We paid 20 percent deposit which we will get back if they don't get extra tickets (or its a ringside one or something ie 1000 quid !)

Here's hoping my bro sorts it out when I am away and I come back to find out am going

The trip will be a killer as the flights aren't direct (direct flights are about 50 grand now aren't they ) but I can't miss this no way.

Here's hoping a few of us get together over there for a beer or ten....

I hope you strike it lucky there bif, because according to a seperate thread on the main board....British fans have been allocated 4,000 tickets, with the same for American fans, and the rest being retained by the casino for their high-rollers. I knew that the statement mentioned above from Steelie was a bunch of bullcrap, cause in a casino venue, they could probably sell every ticket to Hatton fans who wanted to be there.
