Comments Thread For: R. Hatton: I'll Flatten Someone To Convince I'm Back

[Kilrain]

Yeah second that... I was well excited for Hatton's comeback, even just for the atmosphere his fights create especially back at the MEN. But I am not paying £14.95 to watch Primetime ever again after being stung to watch Froch Vs Abraham in the shoddiest broadcast and commentary I've ever had to endure... Bad form here Hitman!

God, tell me about it. They kept referring to Abraham as "Abrahams", and the anchor is some rent-a-host who used to do CBBC or some ****. Who also looks as though he's falling asleep when they do shows from America!

Stop crying about Primetime.

You think Hatton's going to put money in Sky's pocket after they got rid of his dates for his fighters?

I believe they're owned by Channel 5, who already have their hand in boxing. Plus, Steve Goodwin has signed a deal with Primetime to show free-to-air boxing, interviews and news from the sport.

I'm sure they'll increase their service come fight night and ensure that everything runs smoothly as this is a huge opportunity for them.

ha, do you work for primetime or something?

primetime are no good. last time i ordered a fight from them, the picture size kept changing every few seconds when they were in the studio. luckily it didnt do it during the fight.

im not buying the excuse for sky. you dont make fans have to pay for a fight just because you dont like a certain broadcaster.

whats wrong with boxnation for hatton? frank warren i bet! anyway, pay enough as it is for sky and boxnation every month without being asked to pay for an average fight.

No, I just realise what Primetime is doing for my sport. You could call it a poor man's Boxnation.

Ask yourself the question, do you really think Primetime are going to pick up a Hatton fight and allow those errors to happen again?

I'm positive that all these complaints and issues are to do with the first fight Primetime ever aired, so there is going to be problems. But now they're somewhat established and have been airing boxing shows regularly.

How is Hatton going to improve when he wasn't all that great to begin with?

If the Hatton fight is free to air then its fine, If they are charging £14.95 for the fight then no way....Im not paying that for his first fight back or even his second or 3rd..maybe if he comes back and proves himself and starts to fight in bigger fights yes..

It will be PPV.

Primetime have a deal with another promoter called Steve Goodwin, that's where the free-to-air boxing comes from. Hatton's undercard is full of quality fights, looking forward to Quigg-Munroe more than the main event.

It's not like you're paying £15 per month, it'll be every 6 months or so for the best cards over here.

Show me one card that rivals Hatton's.
