BBC Sports personality of the year.

i suspect you could be right there. Code 13

I think Lewis Hamilton will win it. Partly because his exploits are on terrestrial tv. Whereas, even though I pay subscriptions to Sky Sports and Setanta, I STILL have to fork out on top of that to see Ricky Hatton's fight for example. So much less people will be aware of Hatton and Calzaghe's exploits.

Code13. Hamilton is the bookies hot favourite at 1/5.

Just imagine the odds if he had won that last race and the title.

I hope Lewis wins because I had a fiver on him just before the odds got really short. I think I get about £25 back, like others said though if Hatton wins I reckon he'll win. Everyone in Britain gets really hyped up when someone wins something so when the voting starts it may all be still get loads of press attention if Hatton has won.

If Hatton batters Mayweather on the 8th, the BBC will look daft giving the award to a runner up (who bottled it)the day after........

I hope Hatton wins he. he has a championship belt and is at the very top of his sport. Hamilton bottled it in the last race. Why reward runners up

I don't know why they call it the "sports personality " award,maybe if they called it the "sports achievement" award then I could understand it more.

It's supposed to be about choosing a personality, not merely rewarding achievement.

 

Blame the voters for being too thick to know this.

Yet the voters voted for the personality free zone, that was Nigel Mansell. And, indeed, Steve "Interesting" Davis.

I understand what your saying, but contrary to his nickname I have always found Steve Davis interesting, witty and informative about snooker.
