If Ricky Hatton Carries on Fighting Do You Think He Will Ever Main Event a HBO PPV...

[catalinul]

After the Pacquiao fight, I remember a HBO guy stated that Ricky is always welcome and they will always show a Ricky fight as a main event for as long as he keeps fighting. So, yes he will be.

There is a difference between HBO PPV and HBO WCB.

as long as UK fans will watch hatton get beat up by elite fighters he will be on HBO PPVs.

Not anymore I don't think.

People aren't buying PPVs anymore without megahype and no one will believe Hatton in another 24/7.

He had a terrible performance with Pacquiao.

IMO his HBO PPV days are over.Maybe even his fighting days.

that depends on if UK fans still believe in him or not.

Obviously they still believe in him.

It depends if the HBO bosses still believe he can sell a PPV and actually be competitive and/or entertaining.

Which he ain't.

No HBO PPV for him anymore.At least that's what I think.

well if UK fans stilll believe in him, then obviously HBO executives will believe he can sell a PPV.

The fans buy the tickets not the PPV.

Having Hatton main event a HBO PPV is a laughable thought atm.

Won't happen.

With who?

its gotta be an elite fighter.

and that's the thing, would a Cotto/Pacquiao/Mayweather/Mosley vs Hatton fight be a credible bout?

as I would have to think regardless of how big Ricky's following is the way he got taken out so easily by Pacquiao would have to make even his biggest fans sceptical about Ricky facing an elite fighter again.

cuz there's just no way to spin the Pacquiao fight positively for Hatton. he didn't get gradually broken down and lose a close fight in the later rounds .. hell he didn't even make it out of the second round.

he landed 18 total punches and was absolutely annihilated. (2 knock downs in round 1)

sure HBO could try to put Ricky in there yet AGAIN with an elite fighter.

but IMO it's no needed, and as much money as it could generate it isn't fair to exploit Hatton and his fanbase like that.

**Ricky's already been embarrassingly knocked out twice, no need for a 3rd time. His next bout should be his last.

Hatton is a Cashcow for TV networks, they are alway interested in showing people like him even if he gets KO in every fight, He makes them money
