    I'm not sure. I would have thought so but they havn't said anything on Sky yet so I don't think there backing it.

    They should tell us on Ringside tommorow if they are.

    I hope so!

    Do you think they will put the time an effort into it with it being on at like 4 am here? I'm not getting my hopes up. Had it been over here it would have definitely been on though.

      Yeah, ringside should answer it i suppose. You'd have thought if they're willing to back cintron vs. williams they would also back a hatton fight, but i see no evidence of them doing so.

        I know and Berto-Quintana lol

        Both of those were risks and they didn't pull off I think Sky are going to take less risks from now on. God knows why they backed those fights.

        But I mean, Sky have been backing Matt Hatton for his last few headliners. They really should show the biggest fight of his career.

          To be fair, cintron vs. williams looked like it could have been a great fight. a hittable high workrate fighter versus a big puncher who can get broken down.

          The last thing boxing needs in this country is less coverage.

          It must just cost too much and they couldn't possibly make it ppv. Perhaps the fact that hatton will most likely lose is something which influences their decision also.

            Still quite strange they backed it though really.

            I absolutely agree. That is the last thing.

            No chance they will make it PPV absolutely no chance. If they cover it, it will most definitely be free.
