    Agree about the pay per view but still, I think it was more about getting people to actually go to the areana.

    Itv thing woulda beeen cool.

      The fight is free in the USA coz HBO didnt want to hear about it.

      In the UK he knows people will buy anything.There is no other place in the world where 55000 people pay to watch you fighting a bum.Even on SKY a bunch of fools will buy this fight

        Off topic:

        Your signature is a bit silly. SRR had over 200 fights, from lightweight to light heavyweight. Floyd had less than ¼ of that.

              That doesnt change anything.Fights take time to organise nowadays,athletes are more fit but thanks for taking notice.

                  Ricky will still make a good amount out of the fight,so the cash is'nt a big deal....but if he thought the money was gonna be **** ,i'd doubt if he would be fighting at home.

                    That fight would have been a WCB event...at best.

                    And after seeing the recent ratings for a Cotto/Margarito doubleheader, I doubt that Hatton-Lazcano would have drawn much mainstream interest.

                    Ricky didn't leave any money on the table. There isn't a big clamor amongst Americans to see him again.

                      He's really playing the fans for the fools they are. He's a pretentious ****, and just 12 months ago I'd have classed myself a fan. If you're doing it for the fans don't fight Lazcano and don't put it on ppv.
