Mayweather Hatton - Anyone else pumped?

[saratogabrit]

British bookmaking industry is probably heaving a sigh of relief today. A Hatton victory would have created their biggest single losing day since Dettori's day at Ascot 11 years ago. Estimates are that $40 Million was wagered on the fight in the UK.

Didn't give Ricky much of a chance and he now needs to drop back down a division or retire.

I think he'll carry on and maybe 2-3 years from now Amir Khan (who should win a lightweight World title within 12 months) will step up and thy can fight at Old Trafford-unfair if it's at Bolton or Man City

Worst thing about the fight was the booing of the National Anthem but I expected that as that unfortunately has become the norm at International Soccer games. "God Save the Queen" is really only played when International teams play and the opposition anthems get booed. Croatia's got booed-bet their fans couldn't care less about that.
