Page 1 of Hatton vs Castillo Sat Night!!!

Just went to order this on sky and found that its £19.95 instead of the usual £14.95.
Don`t know if its going to be worth it, does anyone know who else is fighting on the bill because if its just from America then £20 seems a bit steep.
Castillo to win on points by the way.
What does everyone else think



Hail! Hail! The Celts are here!
Oh what the hell do we care?
What the hell do we care?
Hail! Hail! The Celts are here!
Oh what the hell do we care now?

For it`s a grand old team to play for,
For it`s a grand old team to say.
And if, you know, the history,
It`s enough to make your heart go,

Oh oh oh. We don`t care what the animals say,
What the hell do we care?
For we only know that there`s gonna be a show
And the Glasgow Celtic will be there

I suspect you`ll find that sky reckon that it`ll get paid no matter what they charge with a small moan as opposed to a big non buying of event action

£20 minimum for all future hatton fights is on its way

Just found out Setanta Sports is showing the fight as part of their Subscription.
So won`t have to pay extra for it.
Sky can go sing for their £20

Setanta are pushing the fight with a "Pay for the punches. Get the kicks for free..." tagline to promote their Premiership output. The soccer doesn`t interest me at all so don`t know whether I`ll buy the fight or not considering the price.

The undercard is only Matthew Hatton vs. Ruben Galvan and Antwun Echols vs. Fulgencio Zun**** although I don`t know if the latter fight will be televised. The top of the bill should be a cracking fight but the undercard is terrible and a promotion not worth forking out £20 for. Radio Five Live?

Not worth paying for IMHO - especially given Castillo`s history of weight problems. If the fight doesnt go ahead, its unlikely that you will get a refund on the money paid.

Hopefully it will be a good fight but as I pay Setanta anyway, it`s not going to cost me anything.
Have to say I`m disappointed with the undercard, should be a lot better considering the size of the main fight, although some of the lesser fights usually turn out to be better than the main event.
As I say Castillo on points, think he will too much for Hatton but hope i`m wrong.

If the fighters make the weight - Hatton has already said he won`t fight if Castillo doesn`t make 140 - I expect a war in which Hatton`s jab and inside work will stop the slightly shopworn Mexican.

What a thunderous left - as they say on the BBC, that would have felled a horse

See for yourself

I thought he`d stop him, and said he would (see above), but I had no idea it would be as emphatic as that. The comparions with Roy Jones` KO of Virgil Hill are perfectly valid, but that was a lead right IIRC, thrown from long range rather than Hatton`s punch which was thrown from mid to short range.

If I were in Hatton`s boots, it would have been hard not to punch Max Kellerman for dismissing the performance as being against a sub-par opponent who had been ruined by Corrales. Castillo was on the way down, but still a dangerous and top quality fighter and, for Hatton to do what he did, was brilliant.
