Hatton v Mayweather

by Jez - Manager ™ (U888427) 08 December 2007
comment on the article

Evening all, presume you're all looking forward to a huge night? We'll be open throughout the evening to discuss the fight, so it'll be great to hear from you.

My colleague Alex has stumbled in and he'll be bringing you the build-up and action from Las Vegas and obviously Ben Dirs will be taking his seat at the MGM Grand (he gets all the best gigs).

I'm laden with snacks to keep me going through the night and managed to spot a kebab shop in Shepherd's Bush Green that proudly announced they were showing the fight in the early hours.

So where are you planning on watching or listening to events unfold from Las Vegas, are you staying awake all night, or are you setting your alarm? Perhaps you're abroad and trying to find a bar showing the fight.

Hatton v Mayweather build-up

We want all the night owls to get involved and Alex will use a selection of the best comments on the live clockwatch into the wee small hours!

Let's have your predictions too, I'm going for Hatton in the ninth!

Leeeeeet's get readddddddy to rumbbbbbbbleeeeeeeeee!

well said. idiots booing the anthem. It seems to help though!! I reckon when the oppenents hear the anthem being booed its a total advantage. Fans who booed---sad and lower class idiots

One things very clear, Hatton should not fight Oscar De La Hoya. Hatton's a great fighter, but only at light welterweight.

He can try if he want to an least Wembley stadium is now used to British loosing matches... there is always a 1st time for Boxing as well.

Oscar will silence the anthem booing chavs at Wembley on the night ...

Ricky you are no match for MayWeather and surely you should not attempt Oscar infront of you home crowd..smiley

fella. Holding illegal wars , torture and false imprisonment are big deals. Starving and being made homeless also make my top 10. Some drunk blokes spending over a grand a pop to watch their hero and booing an anthem does not quite reach these heady heights. If it does for you I pity your morality and education, especially since you find it quite paletable to watch two blokes trying to beat each other silly and then get your knickers in a twist over a bunch of boos.

As for the farcical God Save the Queen we have as our own jingoistic call to arms. Feel free to jeer at it as much as you want.

It represents the British people about as well as christmas represents the will of turkeys.

My god so many cowards just jump on the PC bandwagon just so as to feel safe.

With the heart Ricky Hatton showed last night I think he must have Scottish blood in him. If the England football team showed half his courage they would win a major tournament every two years. A surprised and impressed scotsman.
