It seems as though loyalty has been thrown head first out of the Hatton camp as tickets for his clash with Floyd Mayweather appear to be up for auction to the highest bidder.

 

As reported by Skysports.com, Punch Promotions have bought up all 3900 available tickets in the UK and as a result are holding a postal ballot which fans must enter to receive a ticket(s). One condition for the ballot is that you must state the MAXIMUM you are willing to pay for a ticket.

Surely not! You would hope these tickets would be randomly allocated but it seems as though Mr. Dollar is going to have the final say.

 

I’m absolutely gutted to hear this news as I am a huge Ricky Hatton fan....... nevertheless the evidence is there to see and as a fan this really feels like a kick in the bollocks. I can’t even begin to imagine how the fans in the U.K feel about this.

 

I hope there is reasonable explanation and hopefully the Hatton camp can shed some light on the situation on their upcoming Trans-Atlantic promotional tour.
