    He still has more than Haye. Good luck to Haye but you're really jumping the gun on Warren. You think he's just going to roll over?:lol:

    Haye is showing Hatton what doing it for the fans is really about. All his fights in London, and not on PPV.

    Expect Hayemaker productions to sign up a few of them.

    Has George Groves turned pro then?

    Hatton was with Dennis Hobson for nearly two years, and from what I understand, was in no rush to leave. But the Mayweather fight had been building and I think that it needed the GBP touch to seal the deal, and Hobson was left out in the cold.

    I don't think he is bitter at all though, having made a **** load out of Hatton whilst attracting much more publicity for his company. There is a ringing endorsement for Fight Academy in Ricky Hatton's book, BTW.

    Man you should not have said that. Watch the likes of Gaz, Sleaze and the others pounce on you like wounded sheep.

    I agree with you, in terms of fans it is far easier and cheaper to get to stadia in England to watch a fighter. Beats pissing about in Las Vegas for 3 days and still end up watching it on a big screen.

    Ok but Hobson got no superstar names now has he ?

    Besides Woods he had no real big names left anyway. Now that Woods wants to live in a caravan and play with his DS all day, Hobson is left with no big names. Maybe him and Mick Hennasy should merge like Baz Hearns and Warren did for a while.

    :lol: Its true though. Hatton is now going on about the fans and he will turn down fights if he only gets 4000 seats. Well why not fight in England. In case Ray and Ricky have not caught up with technology, satellite link ups will ensure the fight can be telecast in the USA at what ever hour the tv execs want.

    The reason Haye isn't fighting in Vegas casinos is because at this stage of career they don't want him there. If he beats Klit and the yanks find a decent HW he'll be over there like a shot for the Yankee dolllar and I don't blame him.

    Don't moan at all the Hatton threads and then try to steer threads that have very little to do with him in his direction.

    His last fight WAS in England, Calzaghe used to get **** on here for not fighting in America. Hatton does it and then gets **** for not fighting all his fights in the UK.

    Some of you are just professional moaners.

    Hobson doesn't have any star names at all.

    Hennessy doesn't either, and never will until he sharpens up his marketing material - Froch has the capability though.

    I think a merger may work, but both will be out of business pretty sharpish once GBP Europe is set up by Hatton. The only current promoters with sufficient brains to survive over here are Warren and Maloney, with Barry Hearn possibly.

    Hennessy doesn't know ****, whilst Hobson will probably go back to doing small hall in Yorkshire.

    Thats funny because they wanted the Enzo fight hence why it was on early morning.

    The Yanks will pay for anything that is entertaining (or not as in the case of Hatton). :nut :patsch

    Does Baz Hearn still do promotions ?

    Theres a big difference between it being worthy for American TV and a large casino stumping up a decent site fee. How many people would Haye-Enzo (or JC-Kessler) have attracted over to Vegas? Not enough for the casino site fee to offset the live gate at the O2/ Mel stadium obviously.
