Interesting take on Calzaghe as a promoter.

Haye is the only british boxer that will do anything as a promoter. The day that Calzaghe or Hatton put on a show not involving them selves is when we can judge them.

Haye is already putting one on, the 20th, has a british title fight as its main event, he has 11 boxers signed up and a TV deal. What do Hatton and Calzaghe have?

Haye is also far more intelligent and business savvy that Calzaghe and Hatton.

 

Ricky Hatton has a secret weapon in the promotion setup....Ray Hatton.

JC just has his dad and that dodgy football agent.

heres a ricky hatton promoted show, at least its a start :smoke

 

wow!

 

I think JC will make a good promoter, in an understated way. I doubt he will try to rip off the fans, and will no doubt match his troops hard like he did in his career.

 

its PPV dont you know? :smoke

 

was this tongue in cheek?

is this the same fans he charged double money, for tickets for the kessler show?

 

Doubt that, Haye needs to focus on his boxing career.

He hasn't shown any Intellect and business, he's just acted like he wishes he was Hugh Hefner and talk **** about the HW's.

 

So signed a TV Deal, 11 boxers, signing a deal with the biggest promoter in the world, making over a million in the last year means you have no business intellect.

haye also has a huge property portfolio.

 

:good

 

Was probably Booth that did that all for him, they see how much publicity Haye's getting and of course those 11 guys would sign with him.

Business sense Is hardly needed to sign with De La Hoya when he shows you the contract, only him and the big suits benefit from Golden Balls promotions anyway. A solicitor will check the contract for you and tell you how good the deal Is so he doesn't need much there either.

Haye's taken a heavy gamble and will look bad If he doesn't back up that mouth. He should be focusing on his career more than his fame and mouth, he's only been pro for 5 years and he thinks he's DLH already.

As for Calzaghe, he's too relaxed to be a good promoter. Hatton's Dad does most of his business decisions too.

 

I can not see JC having the brains to do it.

 

I think Hatton has made more friends along the way than either Calzaghe or Haye though. More guys would be likely to be willing to put their fighters on his shows and vice versa.

From what I understand Dennis Hobson and Frank Maloney don't have a bad word to say about him - better to start from the bottom up at area level rather than doing what Audley did and sell WBF matches as title fights.

To be fair I could see all of them failing and all of them succeeding, I suppose proof will be in the pudding I suppose.
