Re: Hatton muscling in on Hayemaker

It looks to me like Hayemaker is Haye's vehicle to make himself rich and famous, and Hatton's is his retirement plan.
I'd expect Hatton's to pick up markedly, and if he gets ko'd by Malignaggi that would very much be the start of his promotional company work, not the end. As for ticket sellers, obviously if Haye delivers on his promises he'll be hitting the heights, but I don't think he'll ever be selling tickets like Hatton. For all his boxing flaws, as previously stated, Hatton is such a massive draw. You don't think he got the PBF fight on the back of his talent do you? When a DLH rematch could have been made - if Hatton is bigger box office than Oscar then that tells you something. I'd imagine he'll carry some of the popularity over if he can pick up a couple of decent up and comers, and whereas Hayemaker have a much better present stable, none of those names really look like making the elite level. I think it'll make for a better comparison in three years, there is too much bias placed on the analysis at this time due to their individual careers.
