    SETANTA have landed another knockout blow on Sky by securing the rights for Ricky Hatton's next fight in Las Vegas.

    The Dublin-based broadcasters will announce today that they will be screening Hatton's IBO light-welterweight title clash with Jose Luis Castillo in Las Vegas on June 23.

    Manchester's 'Hitman' gave up his IBF belt last February to allow himself the chance to face the Mexican, who has been in his sights for the last 12 months.

    Hatton has been a pay-per-view staple for Sky but Setanta - having landed a number of blows on the industry's dominant player - have challenged their rivals further by striking a deal with Britain's most popular fighter.

    It is thought that the satellite channel will bid for further Hatton fights if a deal with his representatives Fight Academy can be struck.

    Sky thought Hatton's camp were asking for too much and pulled out . Rumour is the BBC will be showing the bout(in its entirety) 1 week later .

    Hattons last fight was on Sky .

    Also Big Ears

    That wasnt the case with Hatton and Sky. Setanta Came in with the offer to Ricky. Being business men they showed sky who were unprepared to match it. The feeling with Sky is they have dropped the ball on this one and there were some questions asked to why it happened.

    Is it possible to just buy the fight from setanta on thier ppv rather than sub scribe to their packages?Its tough enough havin to pay top dollar for sky's full package.Wouldnt mind paying the 25 quid for Hattons match once it was ppv.
    Mind you now that setanta have the rugby world cup i might have to go all out an dsubscribe.

    I dont think it will be PPV. More than likely it will be broadcast on Setanta 1 which is part of their full package.
