Hatton signs with Golden Boy

[Galaxy]

I hope this means a Witter fight maybe in the pipeline soon. Golden Boy has not been scared of putting it's fighters in together.

As for GBP I think it will be good for the sport! They have already put together some great fights & I think this will only continue.

This means there's zero chance of Hatton fighting Witter.

Hatton is a money-making machine with one of the top two or three biggest fanbases in boxing. He's only got a certain number of fights left and each one is going to be against a champion marketable in the US like Juan Diaz or Pacman. Probably a Floyd rematch too. Every fight is going to be as big as possible and every possible dollar is going to be squeezed from every possible revenue stream from that fanbase. Junior Witter is not marketable in the States and Hatton doesn't want to fight him, so it's not going to happen unless Junior goes to the States and makes himself marketable.

Witter in the UK would make more than a Floyd rematch (that'll never happen, who's gonna pay to see Hatton get owned again?) A fight with Witter at home also makes more than Diaz. Fighting in the states aren't everything, you go where the money is.

That's true. But you got to want the fight. And it's obvious Hatton doesn't want the Witter fight

That seems to be the case, I can't understand why. Has Hatton fallen so far he thinks he can't win. I think it would be a competitive fight. I've said for ages that I thought Witter would win & took some sc for it & although I still believe it it is a fight I wanna see & think it would be entertaining.

Witter isn't a money fight even at two dollars to the pound. No US PPV money, no Vegas casino millions to stage the fight versus the cost of hiring Man City's ground.

I gotta disagree with ya there bro, I think it sells out. HBO would pick it up etc etc
