Will Hatton stay with F/A for the remainder of his career?

I guess, up until the split with allegedly, people would have felt Hatton & Warren would stay together until Ricky retired, but it wasn't to be.

Just goes to show you never know in boxing. I guess Ricky has to go where to most financially lucrative deal is at.

How long is the current contract between Ricky & fight academy, and if they don't stay together, who do you think will be wanting to sign up Hatton?

I may be wrong, and I'm here to be corrected if so.
My take on the situation is that Ricky is effectively self managed and self promoted (with family involvement from his dad, Ray) - but to do so, he needed someone involved with a promotors licence and that's where Dennis fitted the bill.
It's a bit like Led Zeppelin in the seventies, when the tradition was 90% promotor, 10% group.
They turned the music industry upside down, by demanding 90% with 10% to the promotor.
Why would the promotors stand for that ? Well they were filling stadiums out to in excess of 60,000 punters and generating mega bucks.
10% of a big number is better than 90% of FA - excuse the pun.
Naz did a similar thing with Barry Hearn I believe with the advent of Prince Promotions - effectively paying for the use of Barry's licence.
Great business by all parties concerned and good luck to them.
Will it continue ? Of course it will. It's a perfect match and everyone's happy - and wealthy.
Like I say if I've got it wrong then no disrespect intended and I'm hapy to be put right.

twenty six...you have got it bang on the button. everyone is happy...except robert waterman, who allegedly was NOT happy with the arrangement.
