did this happen with matthew hatton when he lost to alverez?

Yes Hattons a great example, he has been introduced to a massive HBO audience and showed he is game and tough and this will open big doors in the future for sure and earn him alot more money than he is getting fighting in leisure centres in Manchester.

I think Mccloskeys another one who will now get oppurtunites at world level.

EDIT that Hatton has got a world title shot v Mbaye for the WBA belt. ( not sure if it was one of the whit versions they have about 350 champs these days.)
