    Apparently that his promotion company didn't go well after the tv deal got broken.... I guess that he doesn't have that much money, not enough to feel comfortable and wants to make sure that he's fine for an extra 10 years.

    This will be fun whilst it lasts. I just have a feeling it will end badly just like Barry McGuigan’s comeback did. No way can I see Hatton beat a Kell Brooks, maybe he stands a better chance against Khan at welterweight but at light welter Khan destroys him. There is no way Hatton is going to have that fire i his belly like he did in his prime. However we will enjoy the ride. He needs a Gavin Rees type opponent small, light puncher and no chin.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I so want it to work out well, we are just going to have to see how he looks over 12 in this comeback first. Hopefully someone durable and who will force him to work.

    I just watched his last fight again. Even allowing for Manny's movement and footwork making Hatton look bad, Hatton's movement and footwork was absolutely unbelievably bad. Physically and in his face he looked like a guy making a badly-advised comeback. And that was before the KO.

    Add on four years of seriously abusing his body, his face-first style of fighting and the fact that his punch resistance will definitely not have been helped by that KO and you have a disaster waiting to happen. Apparently he had a fight with his dad recently about his comeback and the police were called. Hatton is supposedly going to press charges.

    I think he knew he was done after the last fight. He actually said "I'm not going to lead my fans up the garden path." Then his promotional company loses its TV deal, his promotional company is suddenly losing two million a year and at that exact same time he discovers he wants to return to the ring.

    He's doing this for the wrong reasons, he was done at the top level before his last fight and the years since haven't exactly improved his chances of making a successful comeback. I can't see him fighting Paulie after watching what Paulie did to Senchenko. I can see him fighting one or two N'Dou-like guys before a moneyspinner with Khan. If he goes with Sky obviously they'll want to do the Khan PPV so they're going to be really careful about how they get there.
