Boxnation to announce Hatton?

I think it is looking increasingly likely that Boxnation may be close to announcing the Hatton fight.

:bbb :bbb :bbb

Here's my reasoning:


1. They have a poll up on their Facebook page about the outcome of the Hatton/Senchenko fight; I have been following the Boxnation Facebook page since the start and they have NEVER run a poll on a fights outcome that was not being shown on their channel.

2. There are a large number of posters on the Boxnation Facebook page enquiring as to if the Hatton fight will be on the channel; since the start they have never commented on the chances of them showing an upcoming fight until it has been 100% confirmed, instead always resorting to the line that they have "no news yet, but when (they) do it will be announced on Facebook", however they are not being so vague in their replies reference the Hatton fight and making it quite clear they are actively pursuing it.

3. They have announced a "BIG press conference next Monday featuring Ricky Burns, Billy Joe Saunders, Liam Walsh and Tony Conquest!".

4. They have confirmed that they will be showing the Flintoff fight in November, I'm sure I read somewhere that Hatton is being promoted by Hatton Promtions so perhaps its all on the same bill?

5. Boxnation have good links with Malignaggi, he is a regular on Bunceys show and they showed his fight against Senchenko.

If the plan is for a rematch between Hatton/Maliganggi, and this would make sense to get Ricky a realistic title fight sooner rather than later, then it makes sense in a way for Hatton to face the guy that Malignaggi won the title from and then allow comparisons to be made, it also gives Ricky the objective of trying to beat him more convincingly.

6. Alongside its regular content Boxnation need fights like this to keep going; so far they have had two really big 'events' in Mayweather/Cotto and Haye/Chisora, fights that have a good chance of bringing a huge increase in subscriptions. The Hatton comeback is huge and I think Boxnation will throw everything they can at securing this fight because as a 'boxing channel' they need it to maintain credibilty in my opinion.

I'm sure I will get slated for this reasoning as is so often the case on this forum, but the beauty is I'll either be proved right or wrong come Monday and the press conference!
