It has recently come to the attention of Sports Network Limited that a number of third parties claim to be in discussions or negotiations with Punch Promotions (Actions) in order to acquire the boxing services of Ricky Hatton (Parties).
In fact, Sports Network, through letters written by its solicitors, have already placed a number of parties on formal notice of impending legal action.
In light of the above, Sports Network hereby places all other Parties or individuals on notice of its agreement with Punch Promotions for the exclusive boxing services of Ricky Hatton for a number of further fights (Agreement).
Accordingly, any such approach or attempt by any such Party to discuss the boxing services of Ricky Hatton with Punch Promotions and or Ricky Hatton its/his agents or representatives would constitute an attempt to induce a breach of the Agreement and be an unlawful interference of Sports Networks rights.
To the extent that any Party fails to stop any of the Actions complained of, Sports Network will not hesitate to take all necessary action against any such Party to protect its interests arising from the Agreement

My questions
1) Who are Punch promotions? Looked at the promoters section on here and the only "Punch Promotions" promoted a few small shows in illinois in the mid 90's. http://www.boxrec.com/prom_list.php?promoter_id=1065
Do you think Ricky has some managerial involvement with Punch? Is this like Golden Boy or A force promotions? Just alledging of course.
2) Why hasn't a definative answer about Hatton's contract been disclosed - ie. how many fights has he signed for? Perhaps understable, they don't want other promoters snooping around when the contract is close to expiring.
3) Why no statement from Hatton to co-incide with this to demonstrate how happy he is to continue to fight for SN?
