I think the cheapest tickets are selling for around £450 at the moment... I reckon it'll be a great atmosphere in the ball room though so even if I can get one off a tout probably won't bother.... Fly out Wednesday and am staying in Hooters which is just opposite the MGM... So many things I want to do over there I can't wait. Come on Ricky!!!!

My Girlfriends, sisters hubby is also watching it in the ballroom next door, he flies out on Thursday as well.

I'm also going and have tickets for the CCTV in the MGM.

Flying from Heathrow on Thursday to Denver and then onto Vegas.

Staying in a nice suite in the Venetian and staying for 5 nights.

Starting to get really excited about it now

You may be in luck sooner than you think, apparently there is very advanced negotiations of Hatton versus Oscar De La Hoya at Wembley Stadium next may.
Hatton's lawyer Gareth Williams has said that there is a very strong chance that the fight will go ahead no matter what happens this weekend with Mayweather.

More details here

As long as it doesn't depend upon him beating Pretty Boy, which I don't think he'll do, then I'd be up for that alright, although a Sunday evening fight isn't ideal.

as much as i WILL go to that fight, it will be a massive let down from hatton

a fight taken only for money

i would much rather see hatton fight cotto, cintron, williams or even witter

As they say it's a chance to fight possibly the best pound for pound fighter on the planet, incentive enough surely, although the chance to fill 80,000+ seats for a home fight would mean more to Hatton than any amount of money.

I've been wondering about this:

Both boxers are undefeated (as far as I'm aware...). Does that mean that one of them will quit if they lose? Is there a stigma attached to losing or is it not as big a deal as that?

If Hatton loses, then he won't really lose that much, as Mayweather is a big favourite and the best pound for pound in the world, but Mayweather has been struggling with his hands, even freezing them every week to help and if he lost, he might well call it a day, but then again, his massive ego may dictate otherwise.

Anyone else noticed how Rickys odds are slowly reducing. The gambling gods must know something as the odds are getting closer and closer!!

Ricky was 2.75/1 all last week, now he's 2.62/1. They knows something i tells ya!

Go on Ricky, you deserve it!

Yeah pretty sure I am. My mate booked the tickets so I'll find out the exact details on the way down to London later today. I'll be sure to look out for the blue santa hats!!
