By Scott Gilfoid: If Ricky Hatton plays his cards right a prolonged comeback can bring in some good cash for him to stick in his promotional company Hatton Promotions. They recently lost their television deal with Sky Sports and that’s got to hurt in a big way. But Hatton can get a lot of money if he can fight a bunch a tune-ups against nobodies so he can pick up some badly needed revenue to sink into his company. Hatton should just milk that puppy against some fodder opposition and the Brits will probably lap it up gladly.

Personally, I think Hatton should just let the promotions fold and not worry about anything. He doesn’t need the money and who wants headaches?

If Hatton comes back he can have Hatton Promotions promoting his fights and he can help his own cause for a little while. It’s not going to be any kind of long term fix, however, because Hatton Promotions will likely be right back where they are right now after Hatton retires again but he can keep them going by fighting as long as he can.

The British public probably doesn’t care who Hatton fights. He can fight scrubs for the next three to five years, and still make a ton of cash. I wouldn’t advise Hatton to fight anyone good at 140 or 147, because he’d just lose unless it’s someone with a fragile chin like Amir Khan. Hatton can probably beat him or Paulie Malignaggi, but that’s pretty much in terms of well known fighters. Hatton isn’t going to beat Danny Garcia, Timothy Bradley and I don’t think he would get a rematch against Floyd Mayweather Jr. He’d have to work for a rematch against him, and it’s unclear how long Hatton will be sticking around, if he does in fact make a comeback.

Hatton should make a comeback and milk it for all it’s worth. The Brits can’t get enough of Hatton, and he can trot out any old journeyman or domestic level fighter still sell stadiums in the UK from here to eternity. It’s not like the U.S where boxing fans are little more picky. They won’t buy mismatches.
