    I think Boxnation picked up the Murray fight because it wasn't a Hatton show. It'd be more expensive if they put on a UK show and Boxnation had to film it themselves. I think that's the reason there aren't more UK shows on Boxnation.

    :yep

    All astute businessmen never let personalities interfere with business:deal

    How astute is Wicky?:smoke
     
  3. I know it's easy to go over the top but he does appear to have everything,he is technically as good as you will see regarding footwork and distance,selection and quality of shots thrown.he has clearly got power and speed at championship level and it appears can take a shot
    He is a remarkably mature boxer for his age and at the moment shows no weaknesses,I'd heard he was top draw and when I first saw him against concepcion he was patient and typically ruthless in dismantling him gradually but he didn't excite me as I didn't think I'd seen anything special,but the fact he has so effortlessly transferred his game to championship level makes me think we have

    There will undoubtably be doubters who say salido and juanma were ripe for picking as they had been in too many wars and were on the slide and the weekends weight issues won't make him popular but despite that I'm still sold on him big time

    I think he has potential to improve and will be a silent assassin type,no broner frills no canelo superstar status but a real candidate for being one of the best fighters In the world

    As he moves up he will no doubt be fully tested in some classic match ups but I think the post mayweather pacquiao landscape looks healthy

    Mares donaire broner Alvarez m Garcia ward Bradley Santa Cruz golovkin trout matthysse d Garcia r Gonzalez rigondeaux are all good world champions
    And then you have the likes of thurman Russell jnr Crawford lomachenko Joshua with potential to be great fighters
     
  4. How did I put this in the hatton thread

    He had the platform and name to become the goldenboy of UK, however he isnt quite a smart as Oscar and doesnt have someone like Richard Schaeffer around.

    they also had about 5 young fighters hanging on a string. fighters that they themselves tried and took on in the first place. all waiting for careers to get under way, but as the whole Hatton enterprise were going through, management trouble, family issues and substance abuse, these young lads just simmered to complete disheartenment waiting for broken promises.

    so they partly didn't deliver!
     
  8. They haven't delivered because they haven't recovered from the sky fallout

    Other than Ricky's comeback which was a coincidence his big boys haven't been out on a show by hatton promotions
    I can't believe they haven't had some arena shows up north with the whole stable,title fights and Internet coverage.tv would eventually come if the action is there,they would of made an initial loss but would of still been in the game

    Hatton tv was as far as I know one of the original cases of a British boxing promotional company using the Internet what happened

    Look at dave coldwell

    If Ricky's in good shape then he should just have a fight against some punch bag in Manchester.

    indeed.

    Hatton was overrated and so is his company.


    by the way guys, what happened to the Lounge here? I just logged on for the first time in weeks and it's gone.

    place is dying a slow painful death :yep
     
  13. Is it that bad really

    It's a forum there's some good some bad,I found it hard to believe that esb was ever so perfect as has been mentioned by some and I'm not including you in this.so I went through the archives of the glory years and the issues that long time posters complain about like trolls,loads of threads on the same subject,idiots spouting rubbish has always been here


    I think it's alright,at the end of the day it's a forum and for me the best one out there

    I was thinking the same as simmo and maybe BT will pick them up. They will surely show some boxing at least.
