Hatton reveals plan to be the new Golden Boy

Hatton, 30, is already making plans for a career in boxing long after he has hung up his gloves and while he is targeting three more big fights, including a showdown with De La Hoya, the Englishman is also busy trying to emulate the American fighter’s business successes with his Golden Boy Promotions company.

Golden Boy promoted Saturday night’s 11th-round stoppage of Paulie Malignaggi at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, which extended the light-welterweight world champion’s record to 45-1 (32 KOs) and put the ‘Hitman’ firmly back in the shop window among the sport’s best pound-for-pound fighters.
