You lot bought into that as well.
Why is Hatton no longer with them? Didn't they pay him "Record purses" and "promote him better than anyone else?" Weren't the Hattons "Salt of the earth people" who will "remain friends for life, no matter what?"
Will they exchange Xmas cards this year or simply writs?
So what has happened indeed? No TV, No Hatton, No fighters (Other than the part-time, Clinton Woods) and now only 'Big' Audley to bargain with.
I wonder whether FA be in Vegas next week with the "Salt of the earth" Hatton clan?
I wonder, will they be exchanging Christmas cards or Writs this year?
Still, rest assured, whatever the case, Spud and Poxon will sort it out!!
Now, I know you have your allegence and its naturally not FA...but in all seriousness, as a Boxing Fan - why gloat about him not having a TV deal. There is no SN show this week - the McCullough vs Martinez is a good fight and a good bill.... Its should be on live UK TV.
If SN would rather us watch Strictly Come Dancing for about 42 weeks of the year - then great, but its not good for the game.

Good call Stu.
The more promoters on TV, the better.

Err, wasn't it them doing the gloating arrogant bit when they 'signed' Hatton? They made out that they were going to conquer the world but never even managed Sheffield.

you're a bitter and twisted weirdo. you gloat about other sides but you don't have any problem with the SN mismatches which have ruined British boxing for years. if the WBO and the Board wouldn't sanction Warren's bullyboy mismatches, and if the print press weren't so cowed by him, would he really be doing all that well?
it's relatively easy to make 20 world title fights when you're fighting 13 fvcking parsnips.

Two wrongs etc......
I agree they shouldn't gloat, but do you think them signing Hatton harmed British boxing? Do you think British boxing only being shown on a Saturday night say 10 times a year is harming the sport?
Fair enough, if Hobson and Warren clashed on TV dates - then of course, you could say its harming the sport and I would respect you for standing by your alliegence... but when a good card like Tommorrow's is not being shown in full AT ALL (not even on Irish TV I am let to believe) - then its harming the sport.
Not saying your not entirely wrong to put a dig in.... but when the Boxing fans cannot see a fight, that is not affecting Warren in anyway, then yes - I don't think it is right to gloat.
