    So it seems David Haye is following Ricky Hatton footsteps by signing for Golden Boy Promotions and starting his own company in the UK in the meantime, Hayemaker Promotions - of course, in cooperation with GBP...

    So it seems that GBP is ready to take over the UK market, but not by GBP events, but with joint promotions like Ricky's and Haye's. And since Hatton is staging his first show in a few months and Hay has just signed a deal with Setanta for 10 Hayemayker Promotions shows (inlc. 4 HW fights of David), it's obvious that GBP is already in control...

    Expect Calzaghe to retire in one or two fights and the 3 most popular names left will be Amir Khan, David Haye and Ricky Hatton - two of them GBP fighters...




    What do you expect from the Hayemaker Promotions, from David Haye as a promoter and what future is possible to such a stable in the UK?

    I imagine it'll be his friends/sparring partners.

    Maybe quite regional, like Hatton's events containing mainly Manchester fighters, Haye's maybe Londoners, like Danny Williams....

    Not expecting much to be perfectly honest. However, in actually organising two fighters getting in the ring together and fighting, he would have surpassed (6 year old!!!) Mayweather Promotions.

    Hopefully Haye will sign a few of the lads who are going to compete in the Olympics-we don't want Warren getting his hands on them!

    it's a bad idea - fighters should be fighters - not fighter/promoter.
    De La Hoya has become a big success as a promoter but his boxing career has faded badly.
    De La Hoya has suceeded because he had the money and contacts to make it work and it has just grown from there

    but others who's promotions have faded away

    Lennox Lewis
    Naseem Hamed

    where are their promotions now

    Frank Warren said fighters often fail as promoters because you have to put a hell alot of invest in first before you reap rewards and if the fighter does not deliever in the long run you dont reap anything you just lose and not alot of fighters are willing to do this

    I believe Hatton promotions will fail in the long run - i am not a Hatton fan - but I am not wishing Hatton failure here - I just believe 10 years from now Hatton promotions will not exist - and the likes of Frank Warren will probaly still be there

    how can you have the time to be a world class fighter and promoter

    it is just greed - it is all about maxiuming their profits and cutting their promoters share out - but it usually backfires

    Hatton and Naz both left Warren to cut his share out

    But Warren even though he is a sarky wanker put the work in to get them where they are

    Calzaghe has stayed loyal to Warren and not distracted himself with outside intrests and he is 45-0 and still going strong at 36 years old

    agreed

    but he is a promoter who knows what he is doing - like him or not

    Yeah he knows how to make false promises, hype fighters & get WBO belts. I'll give him that.

    yeah its all a big game to Warren he isnt about having his fighters prove themselves the best

    Warren is about milking the British public dry of their cash by padding out the records of his fighters aginast bum after bum

    and yes if his fighters want World Championship status Warren gets on the phone to the WBO president to arrange a vacant fight against some bum

    Which is why I wish we would all just ignore the WBO.

    Got Rees and Skelton WBA shots, Hatton his 1st IBF belt, Lockett the WBC and WBO and Calzaghe all 4 major titles.

    Not much WBO fights lately.

    Lockett is only fighting for the WBC because Pavlik holds the WBO as well. Are you forgetting how long it took Warren to get Calzaghe a fight for a real world title?
