Hatton Fighting on HBO?

DLT20y ago

I dont know if its already been posted but his next fight is on HBO. My question is how did Showtime let this happened? Lets see, you build the fighter up from nothing and then when he turns into a star you let HBO strong arm him from you? Showtime cant let Hatton get away now with his 1st fight in the US? Oh well, HBO is better anyway and it will be cool to see him on there. One good thing about him being on HBO is that you know he will have better opponents to choose from

HBO is better than Showtime. The only good fight they have ever shown were Corrales Vs Castillo 1, 2 was ok but to short and i hope the third fight is as good as the first. Lacy and Calzaghe is going to be good. But to bad that fight is going to last 1-3 rounds.

now its on to make Hatton a real star. My prediction is that Hatton will stop Vivian Harris in 10 rounds, Harris deal feel through, I read he is probs gonna end up fighting this Ben Rabah dude.

True, but they should turn out to be very good fights. I hope so.

The last 2 fights have yet to take place. True, but they should turn out to be very good fights.

Both networks are having a solid year, and Hatton will get more cheddar out of HBO, but I agree with whoever said that Showtime puts on the better fights- see Bell-Mormeck, Lacy-Calzaghe, and Corrales-Castillo III. The last 2 fights have yet to take place.

I think Ricky Hatton left Showtime right on schedule. Showtime built him up, supplied him with Kostya Tszyu, now its on to make Hatton a real star. My prediction is that Hatton will stop Vivian Harris in 10 rounds, then will fight Arturo Gatti for the welterweight crown.

hbo is the bigger name but i think showtime puts on the better fights. hbo just has bigger names and a bigger budget but they stop fighters from fighting each other it's their track record. not trying to hate on hbo but they need to improve and perhaps this is a step in the right direction.
