I wouldn't want to be anywhere near his promotional company.

If he beat either of the P4P#1 then I could see why, but other wise rather go to Frank Warren which is saying something.

his promotional company has ties to golden boy in america.

that could be helpful for a talented guy wanting exposure and a chance at making a name for himself.



if a guy wants to have a padded record and fight no one......by all means sign with warren and be the next joke calzaghe.

who is Ben Wakeham ?

Surely some biggish Brit names should sign with Hatton, he is well-recieved stateside and with the right people around him he could get some good fights for his guys.

You'd think the Manc connection would tempt Jamie Moore, Matthew Hall and guys like that. And Matt Macklin is a personal friend of Hatton's isn't he, and has a big following in Ireland.

No idea who Wakeham is.

how manyboxers does ricky have on his books now? Hatton and Hayemaker promotions are the future for british Boxing. both with ties to Golden boy willonly get them exposure in the states, expect few more british fighters on under-cards of some big golden boy promoted fights.

Can you believe Hatton signed this kid based on a few tapes?

It smacks of the time Graeme Souness signed some random African who claimed to be George Weah's cousin for Southampton, and was officiallly voted the worst player in premiership history. Subbed after coming on after coming on as a sub.
