    I hope the UK press cover Hatton's fight with Mayweather

    (This is for Britishers)

    They went absolutely crazy when Khan was matched with Kindelan in the Olympics, because Kindelan was regarded as the best amateur boxer of the century, so why won't they do the same for the pro game? When Hatton was taking on the legendary Tszyu, there wasn't anywhere near the coverage Khan had for taking on Kindelan. Even though Tszyu was the greatest junior-welterweight of all-time, a true sporting great.

    I hope the UK press cover this, because Mayweather is arguably the best boxer ever and for a British sportsman in this great position, it should be covered a lot IMO. The Sun are sponsoring Sports Network, well start printing **** outside of Harty's and Warren's columns then. FFS. Hatton is greater than Benn, Eubank, Bruno and Hamed put together, to be in this position. His personality makes Khan and Calzaghe look like buckets of cabbage.

    I just wish Hobson had signed a deal with ITV while Warren was stalling.

          He's better than Bruno, better than Benn

          He's one of the greatest British fighters ever for me, and would be the greatest if he ran Mayweather close

              If its on Setanta again no one will give a ****, ****ing waste a space setanta are, nightmare to cancel with them. If Sky get it you will get pretty good build up and up to date news on Sky Sports News, now that Warren doesn't hold rights for ITV fights maybe ITV will come in for the fight then it would be massive, but Brits staying up at 4am asking for a lot.

                There's certainly not been any sign of any media frenzy yet

                    If Hatton had his career on ITV - he would be twice as popular as he already is - and he is already scarily popular...

                    With any luck - the reason Frank Warren dropped his court case against Ray Hatton was because he was told he would be involved with Ricky Hatton again. Maybe he might play a part in getting Hatton on ITV. Who knows.
