Ricky Hatton Set To Sign Welterweight Ben Wakeham

[Johnny Rebel]

I think Hatton has the potential to be a great promoter. Look at what he was able to accomplish promoting himself and working with DLH can only help.

I like seeing boxers starting to take over promotions from the greedy lawyers and con men that have controlled this racket for so long. Promoting can be difficult and boxers should wait until they retire to take it on full time. It's to much of a distraction to be promoting while also training for a fight IMHO.

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.

haha when he came on off the bench he actually nearly scored then did nothing and was subbed it was on one of those football years programs.
I remember when I was randomly phoned up by Portsmouth football club and they asked if I was still turning up for training today I just said yeah and didn’t turn up it turns out there was someone in the Portsmouth reserve team with the same name as me thinking about it I should have turned up and try and bluff my way into getting a game lol.

If i was a young fighter i would rather been on ITV than Sky or Setanta.

Haye is doing very well as a promoter if Hatton can start aswell as he has would be great.

I wonder how long it took him to come up with that name? That is lame name for a promotional company, just like Mayweather Promotions etc. Wouldn't hurt to be a bit creative.

I hope he discovers some good talent and helps progress them through their boxing career.

Do you know who promotes both Jamie Moore and Matt Macklin?

think Jamie Moore is with Frank Maloney and Macklin re-signed with Warren.

British boxing scene is looking quite good atm with Hayemaker and now this, Hayemaker promo allready put on some nice fights and it seems fighters arent trying to pad out there records as much.
