Hatton-Lazcano to be shown on Versus

[Jolly Roger]

HBO offered Hatton 1 million dollars to have the Lazcano fight, but only if it was fought in prime time in America. Ricky turned them down since this is a fight for his British fans and he wants it to be fought at a normal time.

**** that, it's still on PPV isn't it. For the fans my arse.

Heard about this late. FNF is usually so ****ty so I'm pretty excited Versus is at least trying to improve their cards. Maybe we can get some semi-significant fights on Versus from now on.

So many of these fighters get stuck with no TV dates. This would be a good way to have guys fight more often.

So your saying a card like

Hatton vs Lazcano - Hatton is one of the most known boxers in the world right now comming off his Mega fight with Floyd.

Paul Malignaggi on the undercard.

infront of a crowd of over 50k+ in a soccer stadioum live from England isn't a superfight?

Ofcourse it will not be Delahoya vs Floyd or Hopkins vs Calzaghe but it will be live on a basic cable and a "Superfight" when you compare the event to the other fights we get on basic cable.

Uh, yeah. It's not a superfight. You said that Hatton is a super fighter. I agree. Is his opponent? No? Does anyone give Lazcano a chance? No? Not a superfight then.

Is De La Hoya vs. Forbes a superfight? Clearly not. It takes one fighter to be a super fighter. It takes two fighters to make a superfight.

Yes he truly doesn't give a **** about his fans, no wonder the fight is in Manchester, England.

this is bad news lol.. casual fans will tune in to take a peek and witness a hug fest and it will detract from future boxing ppv numbers

[MentalExecution]

Well its one Versus so we can assume its on the level of Tye Fields and Bobby Pacquiao

Hatton on cable TV live from England and people are bitching, go figure.

This is about as close to boxing on Network as were going to get in the states, its going to be on a saturday afternoon like the old days.
