At Home with the Hattons

[Gray-Fox]

I'm probably as late as a pregnant woman's period, but has anyone watched this?

[chesh]

I watched it. If you've seen previous Hatton documentaries, training footage, clips from his "stand-up" routine etc., then you've seen "At Home With The Hattons". Nothing new or revelatory to report, unless you didn't know he likes fry-ups, Guinness and puts on weight between fights.

[hitman_hatton1]

yeah it was same old same old for us lot really.

still quite funny in places though.

[banjo]

I haven't watched it, but from things i've seen in the past his family seem like really nice people. It's just him who gets on my nerves.

[TerribleTerry]

I enjoyed it more then I thought I would - a good bit of training footage interspersed with family life.

Nothing ground breaking - same jokes; the line about his mum being an animal and his dad being a midget were all there - but it worked well I thought for the target audience. My missus watched it with me and whilst she wasnt too enthusiastic, even she couldn't help but laugh when Ricky's nan informed Ray that 'he wasn't too big for a punch'..

I will record the rest of the series and most probably watch them

[Captain Hook]

It was the usual, he came across ok, unlike his mum.

She has less class than a 17p stamp.

"Bingo, it's better than an orgasm"

Is this a series... when's the next one.

I assumed it was a one off?

lol is that what she said

[overhand_right]

The fella sat next to me worked on the show!

Weird or what.

Is Hatton still referring to himself in the third person?

Is Hatton still referring to himself in the third person?

A Recently the great Oscar de la Hoya had a "homecoming" fight in Los Angeles and he got a 30,000 crowd -- it makes me proud that some 55,000 fans are coming to watch Ricky Hatton. Not even some pop concerts sell tickets in this volume and this quickly.
What motivates you now -- is it the glory or the money?

It is certainly not the money as after 44 professional fights I am well taken care of financially. It has never been about the money for Ricky Hatton -- its is about the challenge. What would the legacy of me as a fighter be if I just threw the towel in after the first defeat and took an easy way out. What would everyone think? If you look back in history at the all-time greats they have been judged on how they come back from defeat. A good fighter can only become great by coming back from defeat and showing how good he is. That is what I aim to do on May 24th. Everyone thinks Ricky will never be the same after being knocked out by Floyd Mayweather. They will be saying that all the eating and drinking between fights has finally caught up on him. I feel for this fight that I have a few doubters and critics perhaps I need to shut up. Yes, I lost to Floyd Mayweather but that is nothing to be ashamed of. He is, after all the best fighter on the planet. I feel there are a few daggers out that I need to show how good and how determined Ricky Hatton is.

Do you feel better back down at 140 pounds?




I have watched him loads. He has been in the top ten for the last six or seven years. He is a very capable fighter and has won 46 of 49 fights. The last two defeats have been for world titles and he has not been stopped for ten years. He is a come forward fighter with a style similar to mine – doesn't like taking a backward step, good body puncher and he comes to fight. No one will be bored to tears. You cannot accuse Ricky Hatton of taking easy fights when you look at the last six opponents in Tszyu, Maussa, Collazo, Urango, Castillo and Mayweather. That is why 55,000 fans want to come and watch me because they see an exciting bout and an action style. Lazcano will come to fight and take me on I am sure. It surely won't be a tickling contest and although we can both fight on the back foot it won't be before long before we get back into the trenches.

I would worry if it were in the last few days before the fight but it was a few weeks ago. Ricky Hatton is raring to go and fully fit.





No!

[banjo]

I take that as a yes then. He obviously doesn't realise how daft it sounds talking like that.

There's one more - next Tuesday, after the fight. I assume that will include footage filmed pre-, during and post-fight.

No, he wasn't as bad as he has been recently.

[Gray-Fox]

I don't think he does it in the arrogant way that other do. I don't think he's arrogant at all to be honest. I think that he underestimated PBF though, which means he's not a very smart lad.

[DG.]

The fame has gone to his head.

The thing is, he knows 1 out of the 100 people listening to him know about boxing while the rest are ignorant!

They most likely think he is the 2nd best fighter in the world because he lost to the p4p best.

No No No!

[Neri]

Good program. I liked the bit where Ricky Hatton's friend James Bowers came to the gym. He may talk about himself in third person to the cameras but so what, it doesn't come across to me in a cocky way as Lennox Lewis did.

[Gray-Fox]

I don't think Lennox was cocky either!

Naz and Mayweather = cocky.

[DG.]

A home with the Hattons?

More like Rab C Nesbitt Meets Steptoe and Sons.

To be fair, Lennox was the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world at the time.

I'd have been wearing a top hat & monocle when I was being interviewed if that were me.

As did the ringpost!

I still have no idea why he did that!

I think Mayweather hitting him might have had something to do with it!

[rhino222]

i quite enjoyed the programme and am not sure if its an ongoing thing or just a one off, was not too impressed with the stand up comedian routine, the foul language in front of your mum is something i certainly could not do.

am i wrong in thinking that?

[Gray-Fox]

I like Ricky, he's a cool guy.
