since when has he done that lately. :x

14 weeks prep for mayweather.

so he's gone for a promoter's licence.

good luck to him.

let's hope he unseats allegedly allegedly off the top of british boxing one day.

Fook of $hitboy, everybody now knows your girl is a b!tch, all he will do is talk crap about his fighters and match them with bums just like Fwank.... now find somewhere else to suck the crap out of his a$$.

Largely, I think, due to the way he has acted since the fight, with regards to a clash with Witter.

No-one is angry with him just for losing, its all down to this attitude now that he does "want to give Witter a payday."

Its this kind of behaviour- apparantly backing away from a potential classic- that is knocking him down in peoples expectations.

I'm by no means a Hatton 'hater'. Far from it I actually think he has been an amazing ambassador for British boxing and it may be a very long time indeed before we see another Englishman scale such lofty peaks.

Also when people cast doubts on his courage and integrity do they stop to consider that going to America and squaring off against the best boxer in the world takes at least as much ballpower as tackling a Junior Witter.

Hatton did what so many cannot. He used his talent and charisma to it's very maximum potential and rose to the top of the sport.

What he has accomplished should mark him down as no less than a sporting legend. I also don't think he can be judged too harshly for any reactionary remarks or behavior at this point in time because his entire world has been just turned upside down.

Yes, he was compensated handsomely for his KO defeat in Las Vegas but in this case I don't think money was an issue because Hatton was already a multi millionaire. In fact, I would go so far as to speculate that he would divest himself of that fortune overnight if it meant that he could perfect a winning strategy against FMJ.

My only concern about RH is that losing so badly may have permanently dented his confidence and desire.

He is full of anger after being bottomed by Hitman Hatton1 on Doghouse Boxing.

Good luck to him although i thought he may have become a trainor.
With the experiance he has gained over the years in and out of the ring with contracts and opponents , i am sure new boxers wishing to turn pro would consider Ricky especially if he becomes part of the Golden boy promotional outfit with Ricky taking care of the UK part of it which would give fighters the option possibly of fighting in the USA.
I wonder will he be interested in approaching any of this years Olympians ie Frankie Gavin would be a good start.

Hatton being a promotor yet his Dad looks after his earnings and stuff. He even said In his book before FW got It scrapped about without his dad he wouldn't of looked after his money well.

Except, when he reached the top of his sport, against Mayweather, he was sadly found very very wanting. Were he to pursue the biggest challenges now- and overcome them, then we could talk about reaching the top of the sport.

Shut up, Biitch!

Hatton is fringe World Class.

he might not be cream of the crop.

but he's good world class in my opinion.

and as for £££ winning the belt.

both british and american tv had hatton winning.

those guys always score the fights fairly.

HBO even had oscar de la hoya losing one of his early fights and everyone knew he'd be a future cash cow for em.

HBO looked after HATTON - he did not deserve that belt!

HBO score ALL fights fairly?- you drugged up Lesbian!

when are you naive Hatton lovers gonna see the light?

They won't!


Hatton is a greedy git but a good fighter!

Man of the people - ticklinnnnnnnnnnng!!!

I would say the whole reason for Hatton getting a promoters licence is to promote his own fights and keep all of the proceeds

i had collazo winning that fight by 2 points. you could also argue that the 12th round was 10-8 in collazos favour.

ricky was brutally exposed in that fight!

i agree some of his limitations were exposed in that fight.

he's not as comfortable against speedy boxers.

i had him winning it though.

I've seen other sides to Hatton in the last six months or so and basically just do not like this guy anymore. I see him as big-headed and pig-headed in a delusional, fake way, and I see malice inside him.

hatton has a personality disorder. he desperately needs to be liked or he can't function, even if he doesn't deserve to be liked or as liked

Bang on the money!

Audley Harrsion all over again - cheap show, cheap opponents and cheapest undercards possible so all the bucks go to him and the fifth Beatle, Matthew.

Sounds like we'll get lots of undercards like Calzaghe - Kessler then boxingchat?

Maybe a big distraction like Audley unless his father handles the business side. How do you reckon SN would have managed Audley out of interest Mr Chat?

If Ricky Hatton fights the best challenger in his division (Witter) like Calazage did with Kessler I will forgive him

Despite all of the negative comments, I still don't think Hatton's got anything to prove to anyone as a fighter or a man.

BLINKERED!

So, you don't think he should fight Witter?

You don't think Hatton makes too many excuses about NOT fighting Witter?

What will BC say if in 5 years Hatton has put on 10 shows with better undercards than Warren does - I would say a lack of dodgy Euro's with dodgy ribs, but then Hatton might roll out JLC
