His contract with Banner Promotions and Fight Academy is done. COnsidering his close friendship with Barrera and De La Hoya phoning Hatton after the fight, could Hatton be tempted to join Golden Boy Promotions?
He would be best to start a UK promotion company and deal with GB for US promotions.
Theres already someone doing that in the UK. Mick Hennessy is a UK promoter who promotes Junior Witter (WBC champion) and Carl Froch (WBC #1) and has an agreement with GBP in USA.

I know he's close with Barrera, but isn't MAB having some trouble with GBP. Im not quite sure I thought I heard that a month or so ago. Signing with GBP could have it's advantages, but he should stay a free agent and way out his options. Either way he's going to be in some big fights in the future and probably even bigger paydays.
Barrera said last week he was happy with Golden Boy. But, you never know Golden Boy are standing in the way of his Pac rematch with their law suit.

Hatton has a big following, he can sell out arena's in the UK and the USA. I expect Golden Boy will get out the suitcase again. Just like they did for manny.
Hatton's not a businessman, he would rather be coaching than organising, don't think has the time and money, De La Hoya has thats why he got away with it.
what about Ray Robinson and Ray Leonard?
I may be wrong, but I think Lennox promoted himself as well as the Klits right now.
why doesnt hatton set up his own promotions?
he probably could for his fights in ENGLAND. I think that would be a great idea because he could keep the 30% or whatever it is that fighter's tend to get raped on for himself.
But for the States, he needs to sign with somebody like O$car.
Hatton should setup his own promotion company anyway to help fighters from England.
I think he definatly will but will it be for his next fight? Im sure that if he fights Floyd then Mayweather will tell him that they can just set the terms on there own and leave Oscar out of the cut. Why pay him if you dont have to?
Yeah definitly in Hattons autobiography he says he was 95 per cent certain on signing with De La Hoya after leaving Warren, I think he opted for Hobson because Hobson offered him more money but I think he'll make more money signing with De La Hoya now then he could any other promotor.
