Was it a success? They seemed to be really stacking their cards at times, way beyond the Sky budget. I'd be surprised if they didn't lose a fortune.

Hatton was promoting a lot on Sky, as was Dave Coldwell, or were they a team?

This was before Sky had this exclusive deal with Matchroom.

Haye promoted Joyce as much as he could, but didn’t really have anything behind him to really make the moves.

But like I said, most promoters just promote one main star and then ‘the rest’

I remember it well. Coldwell was the licensed promoter for Hayemaker, just a name. Hatton overpaid.

No idea. They never release figures do they? But to my knowledge Ricky was financially stable and can’t have been a complete disaster. 75 shows if they were all losing money is unlikely.

Here’s a list - he promoted abroad as well including Australia, Ireland, Belarus, Hong Kong, Kazakhstan….. weirdly (co-promotions abroad it seems)
