Fury vs Whyte to be on PPV in both the US and UK.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Nice one man - yes it was definitely a PPV distrubuted by Integrated Sports who did random PPV's here and there; but this was the first UK card I can ever remember. It was after the Tyszu fight (which was on Showtime) so he was a big name to us at that point - was the first time we watched a full UK card live in the afternoon. We were big Jose Luis Castillo fans so I think we wanted to keep tabs on Hatton who we also enjoyed. I think one or both us attended every Hatton US event after that, those crowds were so electric. hard to even describe to people how that was

Ah gotcha, was thinking it must have been a lesser network as I don’t remember HBO or Showtime covering it.

That’s awesome man, the Hatton fight atmosphere was incredible- I’m not sure we’ll ever see fandom like that again tbh. I went to the Mayweather and Malignaggi fights in the US, I went to the vast majority of his UK fights too even during the WBU days. I always get sentimental watching the old Hatton fights, it’s the best career I’ve ever followed, I would have never imagined the same kid who was competitive with John Thaxton would end up headlining Vegas super fights with Mayweather and Pacquiao.
