Matchroom secure 20+ dates on sky sports, malony a few,Hatton none. Manipulation ?

I think Sky just look at viewing figures. Matchroom have Prizefighter which attract all-sorts of non boxing fans, add to this that they also have Carl Froch it's no surprise Sky would want to back matchroom. Getting rid of Hatton in my opinion is a massive mistake Hatton shows are stacked with great fights.

logically thinking Sky's loss should be Box Nation's gain in my opinion. Frank ****** is a business man and if he were to add Hatton boxing events on the channel it would be a smart move for everyone involved and the subscriber numbers would probably be boosted too.

I also think that the Hatton events have been some of the best events shown on UK TV. Of course Channel 5 are also worthy of a mention as I can also see Hatton events going there but I'd prefer to see Hatton's events on box nation. it would add some weight to the channel and then you could maybe see some fights made between ******'s stable and Hatton's stable in the future which would be great for british boxing!

 

Can't see Hatton putting shows on boxnation.

 

I know what you mean... with the ego's and people involved etc...

but if they did agree terms it'd be a serious coup for the channel and in my opinion be a great move for all concerned.

 

It'd be good for the boxnation schedule but people like Quigg want to be on sky.

You only have to see Bellew's recent interviews about being back on sky, thinly veiled digs at frank at every opportunity. No doubt he will want to join matchroom.

Boxnation will be a last resort, I really hope someone gives Hatton a chance because he seems to want to put on good cards.

 

i cant see it , now what i mean is how much BN would offer them a show ... Sky pay between 80 - 100 thousand a show (sometimes more if its a bigger figth) im told ,depending on title's etc ... i cant see BN paying anywere near the 80 thousand for a hatton show ...

i dont know how much there paying the likes Helliot and Woods were doing there shows mind you ...

 

Well interestingly ,look at the way eddie was talking about Tony , heaping praise on him so i would say it looks like it could be that way !

 

Nothing. They just kept ticket sales.

 

Really ,jesus ,it would take a lot of ticket sales for the likes of some hatton fighters to even get what they were getting before when there with sky i would assume ...

zero ! Jesus ...

 

when did Hatton work with Maloney and Hearn?

 

Maloney - Homecoming show at Man City

Hearn - Khan v McCloskey at MEN.

 

he said in the last 12 months. Hattons home coming was 4 years ago.

Hearn did nothing for Khan vs Mcloskey the show just has his fighter. Hattons were running the undercard and royaly ****ed it up.

 

Apart from Froch v Bute, what fights are in the pipeline?

 

Hatton on boxnation! That'd be like when the WWF bough out WCW. We could have smack down vs raw every Friday night. Mega

 

McLoskey, Frampton and Lindsay all together in September. Be nice if we could get..

Paul McLoskey vs Prawet Singwangcha (WBC Something)
Kiko Matinez vs Carl Frampton (European Super Bantamweight)
Martin Lindsay vs Paul Hayland (Irish Featherweight)

 

Rees will defend his title in July.
