The on-off-on again-off again fight between Ricky Hatton and the Pac-Man is back on again and this time looks like it's certain.


May 2nd

Las Vegas


A real shame as an open air fight at the City of Manchester stadium in fornt of 50-60000 would have been amazing. But the casinos pay the big bucks. And money talks. Plus it'll be at some stupid hour of the morning for us UK based fans.


Should be a humdinger though. I can't imagine either fighter taking a backwards step. Pac-man fights like a Mexican, so does Hatton and he has a good record against this sort of fighter plus Hatton'll have the size and power advantage with Manny perhaps a bit quicker.


If only the Bank of Carnell stretched to plane tickets/fight tickets/hotel bookings/black jack losses then I'd be out there like a shot.

If he's as tall as Mike Tyson 5'10 inches, he was the only heavyweight champion I remember to be under six feet,


but Iron Mike proved that if you have knock-out drops in both hands, you only have to be tall enough to reach the chin.

Yeah just saw that story, and found myself hoping he gets beat. Not very patriotic of me, but he is striking me as annoyingly cocky. Only won his last fight because of a clash of heads causing too big a ct... May still have won, but may well not have.


Anyway, next he'll be after Hatton or Pac-man! :-S

Haye says he doesnt have to be the best heavyweight fighter of all time....only of his time. I think he stands a good chance of that. I saw him at the O2 against Monte Barrett

  • 3 weeks later...

yes we were !


He needs to get back to basics keep his mind in the ring and not get carried away by the huge box office he has stateside and the superfight between him and Mayweather that has now turned to nothing. Watch Mayweather SNR after the 1st round Hatton basically ignores him, he said in the press conferences that Hatton was going to get hit in the head, and how right he was.

I have a feeling pa-man will (if the fight happens) beat Mayweather... I know the fights were a while ago, but Mayweather made tougher work of De La Hoya and Hatton.


Think they're probably techniquely every bit as good as each other, but it's just the amount of punches that pac-man seems to throw, and the power he seems to be able to put behind them at any weight!


Much as I love to watch Mayweather fight, it would do him good to get knocked the f*ck out! Just as long as it hapens in or after the 10th!!!

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
