Me me me me me!!!!

Tickets go on sale 10am PST on Monday 17th Sep from Ticketmaster and MGM. If you went to the Castillo fight then you can register interest with Punch Promotions via the 90-minutes.com website.

I'm booked to fly with Busby and his missus on Wed lunchtime via Atlanta I think. Staying at Hooters for 4 nights, fly back noon Sunday.

Anybody get tickets for this? The postal ballot for UK tickets was a farce and the Ticketmaster allocation never happened, nobody I know got tickets from an official source.

As it is we've got tickets from Razorgator for $1k a pop. Neh mind, come Dec 8th I'll be going mental in the MGM!

You could be right with this. I'd guess that Lewis v Tyson was one of their biggest ppv's but Hatton is so more marketable to the British public than Lennox.

The UK press conferences start tomorrow in London I think and then Manchester on Friday. Mayweather is already starting the abuse called him "Vicky Fatten", my god Dec 8th can't come quick enough!

Watching the press conference live from Manchester, hilarious. Sky seems to have pulled the plug, to much swearing theres a surprise, what did they expect?

Much that as an Englishman, I want Ricky Hatton to win, I can't help thinking that Floyd is going to demolish him. Does anyone know what the current odds are on each competitor?

True, but even Mayweather has shown slugfest credentials. I think this is a fight to far for RH.

Well guys, this is fast approaching, a very very big fight. Not seen much build up in the last couple of weeks, PBF probably perfecting the foxtrot or something. No news on how RH is getting on with the weight either.

Still envious of my uncle going, totally gutted.

Still not sure on outcome, if I were a betting man, PBF would get my fiver, but you just can't tell.

I really hope RH does the business, let's hope it's a good fight....where's the build up....it's all gone quiet!

Mayweather and his ego got voted off the dancing show a week or so ago, not the best news for Hatton but by the sounds of it he wasn't easing up on the training anyway.

RH was on Friday Fightnight during the Jamie Moore fight and looked quite trim. He's been laying into the bodybelt and is ahead of where he normally is weight wise.

HBO have been running some 24/7 program but not sure if Sky are showing this in the run up. In a few weeks expect every ad break to include an 'Undefeated' trailer and PPV booking advert.

Have a look on rickyhitmanhatton.com as there's clips posted from the gym and a few pics aswell.

P.S.
My tickets arrived today!!! biggrin

i saw a package somewhere with flights, 4 nights in the MGM grand and tickets for about £1500, which i though was seriously good, but cannot remember where i saw that

just remembered i saw it on a BA flight in their magazine when heading to Marsaille for the Eng vs Aus rugby game

Great article in the Sunday Times mag yesterday. Everything I've ever read about Hatton points to what a thoroughly down to earth and decent bloke he is. I hope he does well.

All the pudits seem to think he has no chance though. frown

Will have to check out the Sunday Times online and see if it's still there.

There's a good read on the Skysports site chatting to the three sparring partners for Hatton. All of them have said how much quicker he is than they thought, how explosive he is and how he is constantly pressurising

I'm going to have a few quid on a late stoppage and points win for Hatton. Apparently in Vegas his odds are coming down aswell.

I really hope he can pull off a win, but still see PBF being too difficult to pin down. I hope i'm wrong, i really do.
