    Young hatton will get trolled and won't be able to take the abuse but expects us to watch him at 9pm on a PPV . Sky sports should say get lost to matchroom and stick him on at 4pm

    What? Great; instead of watching the biggest fights in the u.s. we can watch the rise of Campbell Hatton & co on Friday evenings instead.

    "7:30pm sharp"

    0-3, I reckon: got to step him up very, very gradually. And even when he does start fighting people who have a win or a few wins under their belts, it doesn't like they'll put him in with someone who has any knockouts or even packs a half decent dig.

    Maybe his old man and the people doing the matchmaking know something we don't. :sisi1

    I quite like the idea of this, love the small hall shows, would depend on how much reach they have, what the production etc is like.

    Regards Campbell, he wouldn't even be on here would he? Regards his ability, it was pretty obvious to anyone who saw him in the amateurs that he wasn't going to do much as a pro

    How does FIGHTZONE even break even money wise? After they pay production costs they will be left with nothing

    He won the National Novices and some North-West Titles. He's not a world-beater but he did alright as an amateur, but obviously only got signed because of his surname.

    Whereas Danny Murrell only got signed because he didn't tell on Allen and his courting of young boys

    There won't be a huge rush in subscribers now that DAZN have established their streaming service in the UK.

    Winng the novices is OK, but it's not an indicator that someone's going to be a decent pro, I say that as someone who's boxed in the novices and lost, so jot knocking it! It's a nice achievement but not an indicator to me really. As far as I know he didn't win any elite or senior northwest titles. I'm really not dying to knock the kid but I'd seen him box several times and just thought he was way to raw and novice like to have any kind of impact, unless they move him at a really slow pace, even then not sure.

    Agree mate the signing is for his name not the talent, but he's a nice lad so good luck to him

    Yeah if there's one thing you can't knock Campbell Hatton for it's his attitude, he seems like a really nice lad who is just taking the opportunity that has been presented to him. Him and his dad are probably aware that there's a lot of work that's needed if he's going to progress but I think we'll see 5 or 6 years of him being moved along very steadily and I expect quite a few more duds to come his way before he's stepping up to anything like British level. As much as I dislike the way that a lot of sons of ex World Champs getting it easier I can stomach this more, I find Eubank Jnr impossible to like and Conor Benn, despite the spin, isn't much better.

    I don't entertain subscriptions at the moment, Spotify is enough for me with all of my other bills and outgoings. Maybe one day but for the time being it's just not worth doing as you buy one, then you want another and before you know you're sucked in. I miss the early to mid 90's, I was just far too young to appreciate it.

    Benn did not look great but young Hatton has shocked me with how poor he is against opponents with 100% losing records.

    This ends in tears after an unprecedented padded out journeyman CV.
