As time has gone on this has seemed to be the natural fit. Channel 5 and Primetime are going to have 4 shows in a 2 week period I think. Hatton Nov 24th, Fury Dec 1st, Degale Dec 8th and I assume Pac-Marquez will be on Primetime that night

I'll probably end up watching in a pub so the picture quality of primetime isn't going to concern me but what does concern me is just how low quality the production is. I fear that this fight being on there would just suck the excitement out of it. Sky's production always looks top class and state of the art, primetime's looks like you've just wandered into a filming of countdown in 1983.

I'd rather have Richard Whiteley commentating than Benny fucking Ricardo.

Ricky Hatton admitted on Friday that he would walk away from boxing if he won a world title, yet revealed he had "a counsellor on speed dial" in the event of depression or demons in his mind ahead of his comeback on Nov 24.

The former two-weight world champion, 34, was also adamant that he would not prolong his career if his body failed to respond as he expects it to.

"The end of the 'Ricky Hatton Story' was not being knocked out by Manny Pacquiao. If I win a world title, that will be it, I will walk away," he said. "But win lose or draw on Nov 24, if it's not there, and if I'm not up to it, I'll walk away, too. I'll have done what I needed to do."

So he just wants to comeback to win a bullshit title and would then walk away from the likes of Floyd or Manny and the million pound pay days in America again? :think

I don't, even after a couple of wins, think fights like that are sellable any more from the American side. IF he fights on it'll be against Yanks like of Alexander, Bradley, etc or more likely Brits like Brook and Khan.

If he can win a world title - likely from either Malignaggi or Alexander/Bailey he will fight on. Big paydays against Khan or Brook would be too good to turn down and if a bradley fight was offered up he would be daft not to take it. Bradley is relatively feather fisted so wouldn't be putting a brutal KO on him and with his stock at a high (despite losing his last fight) Ricky wouldn't have anything to lose really.
