Ricky Hatton Versus Manny Pacquiao

[Pullcounter]

I hate to sound anti-American because I adore America, but if the fight takes place should it not either be in England or the Phillipines?

Why America?

because of HBO. it costs too much for HBO to ship their **** overseas i think...

The reason is the PPV $ from the States.

PPV from the States?

How would staging the event in a world-class arena in England (Wembley, for example) affect PPV? It would still be able to be shown on television.

Tens of thousands of English people stay up until as late as 4.30am to watch Ricky Hatton on PPV when he is fighting in America, and Joe Calzaghe also.

I read an article in here somewhere regarding the hours in America (primetime) being the best time to reap in the PPV revenue for fights.

Oh right.

Thanks for that.

We deserve a megafight in the UK so we all dont get drunk before it and fall asleep watching the under-cards.

I think once Hatton beats Pacman he will fight at Wembley against a decent name and still sell it out.

Very good point.

British boxing fans are loyal to a fault!

Very true sir, even if I do say it myself!!

A rejuvenated Hatton looking for a last hurrah versus a Pacquiao who is on top of the world in the prime of his life. It's easy to choose a winner: Us.

True.

This will be a good one for all boxing fans.

I think more ppvs in total would be sold if it was at wembley becuase If it was at wembley the publicity it would receive would be unbelievable. Every brit would know about, since most brits are patriotic it wouldnt be sold to just boxing fans. We would see a new world recored for ppvs sold for 1 match. Why america the uk almost doubled your ppvs for the maywaether hatton fight (and that was with an american in it not a philpino).

Still Hatton to win by ko in the 8th to many body shoots slow hatton down and when he tries to duck a shot he'll get an upper cut in the jaw.
