Hatton interview with Sky last night

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Look this isn't an economics class. I suggest you sample the atmosphere at a casino fight and then compare it to one at a stadium...the latter will blow you away.

Oh, and lets not forget that the fight at the stadium holds a much larger percentage of TRUE boxing fans, which ultimately is better for the sport in general.

I don't mean to disrespect you, but if you don't pay attention to the business side of the sport, you aren't really following the sport in whole.

Why did every fighter used to call out Oscar? for the money. Why is every fighter calling out Floyd? For the money. Why did oscar, floyd, winky, pac, corrales, etc all change promoters/managers? money.

WHY DO MOST BIG FIGHTS GET MADE OR DON'T GET MADE? MONEY.

I have been to some HUGE fights, including Oscar-Tito and Tito-Vargas. I prefer the upscale environment that a high-end casino or a stadium skybox offers. I don't want to be ankle deep in beer with soccer houligans.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Sample it.

A REAL fan will get the point. I watch boxing because I'm a boxing fan. If I want some whore to blow me I don't go to the boxing to achieve that aim.

Hold on!!

You know somewhere that I can SIMULTANEOUSLY watch a fight and get a ******* from a hooker???

Please PM me!!

Its hooligans but anyway...

I'm just looking at the bigger picture here. I'm not dis*****g the money aspect of things at all.

I'm just saying that for the long term health of boxing there needs to be a change in direction if only to win back the casual fan who has turned his attention to MMA/UFC or any other sport.

America IS at present the place to be for a big fight but if this complacent attitude continues we will all be witness to the demise of the sport. I seriously believe that.

Your girl should do that for you. A good girlfriend will watch a fight with you, and blow you in between rounds. Or, atleast get freaky during a boring undercard.

I'm not talking about at home. My gf is a huge fan that went to matches even before we hooked up. That's a non-issue.

I'm talking about a Vegas weekend with the boys. Boxing, cigars, steaks, hookers, single malts, and maybe a streetfight.

You wanna proper street fight then you have to mix with the hooligans...

British guys can't fight.

Not a lick.

[Maxy]

British guys can't fight.

Not a lick.

Haha....you envy the British spirit.

[StackMo]

Not likely.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Haha....you envy the British spirit.

nah... It's just that Brits practically invented the sport... yet they get their asses kicked with regularity.

C'mon... is Hugh Grant really kicking anybody's ass? Tony Blair? Really?

The greatest British boxer ever is ...Lennox Lewis? And he's British by virtue of what again? Isn't he a Jamaican who grew up in Canada? What does it say when you have to import your best fighters?


A typical Brit doesn't want to be in a fight with an American. An American or Mexican off the street beats the snot out of your typical Brit soccer hooligan . That's just the way it is.

...and I'm not even American. Just an objective observation.
