    No big deal for Ricky

    RICKY HATTON tweeted “if you want loyalty buy a dog” when he found out this week that his contract with Sky Sports will not renewed next season.
    When I left ITV for Sky in 1995 many people said I was mad. They reckoned that a star could not be built on Sky.
    But I promoted Hatton and his professional career from the beginning on the channel.
    That went all the way through to him beating Kostya Tszyu for the world title and it delivered some of Sky’s best ever viewing figures.
    Hatton’s fight with Floyd Mayweather, alone, delivered more than a million buy-ups on Sky Box Office.





    Anyone get the feelings fwank has a friendly tone towards ricky here? maybe wants to bring him onboard?

    Unless Frank chucks crazy money/dates at Hatton it's hard to see why he should pick Boxnation over Channel 5 or even ESPN given the channels poor reach. It would be great for the casual fan if Hatton were to promote a few dates on Channel 5.
