Apologies for putting a positive piece up, if I'd written something slating Hatton I'm sure there would have been reaction!
Not to worry....

Ha ha, no worries mate just trying to get a bit of interest this way, it's all good for publicity in this region and I'm metting Hatton tomorrow so I thought I'd get a few extra questions.
Never mind eh...
Re: Filipinos - respect for Ricky
has it eben mentioend what you can and cant ask mate?
Obvious ones...
Will you fight on?
Would you fight Khan should he beat kotelnik?
Hear you have signed an 8 fight deal with sky tell us more about this and who you will have headlining these shows.
Do you think you reverted to type and didnt do what Floyd had been teaching you or do you think Ricky Hatton (do that bit like that, prompt him to 3rd person it) is an old dog who couldnt be taught new tricks?
Only thing I will say, ask questions that others wont ask. People who interview Hatton tend to revert to asking the smae questions and getting almost pre-written answers.

Re: Filipinos - respect for Ricky
Ask him whether avoiding Witter all these years was because he "didn`t want to give hin a pay day" or whether it was because he knew he would get his arse handed to him.
Re: Filipinos - respect for Ricky
He must rate Witter even higher than Witters (non attending) fans then as he gladly fought pacman and mayweather, aswel as Tszyu. But was cared of losing to Junior Witter.

"Why did you fight Mayweather and Pacquiao and not Witter, who got spanked by Timothy Bradley and ran away from Judah?"

Re: Filipinos - respect for Ricky
Get a grip? Think about it for a second fella. Who wouldn`t have fought mayweather and Pacquiao for the money he was getting paid for those two fights?

The Witter fight would have been for his "beloved" fans. But of course, there was no real money in it was there. That, coupled with the reason that Witter would have beaten him (back in the day when it should have happened) are the reasons why the fight never took place.
Why do you think they never fought?? It`s about money and taking taking calculated risks. Witter was too high a risk at the money that would have been on offer.

Yes, because thats the role of the interviewer isnt it?
Acting like a smug, self serving berk from an internet forum, putting his interviewee immediately on the defensive.
and if Hook if meeting him at a social occasion, what kind of sociopath talks to perfect strangers like that?
Why not ask him if the reason he doesn't suck other men off in public lavatories is that he doesn't want the other bloke to enjoy it?

Re: Filipinos - respect for Ricky
Dunno, but I have fixed in my head very clearly now a picture of K-G, dangerously intoxicated on a combination of mescalin, meth, amyl and Jose Cuervo asking a series of semi-delerious, alarmingly aggressive but completely irrelevant questions to Michael Crawford on the BBC during Saturday prime time.Terry D wrote:![]()
Aye up, first Toney, now George, are you taking down sacred cows today?!
"Errr... I thought I came here to talk about Some Mother's Do Have 'Em and my part in the new Broadway adaptation of Hello Dolly, not about... welll... lurid acts.
And can you stop snarling?
No! I never even did that, let alone had reasons for doing it that way.
No! Not that either.
I don't think this is funny at all"

That's a wonderful image, thank you, i love it.
You have to hand it to Crawford tho, he still isnt above sticking that beret on every 4 years or so and getting a decent, if cheap laugh.
Re: Filipinos - respect for Ricky
I lost a bit of respect for Crawford when I saw him on Parky sharing some anecdote about being de-bagged by a lift harness in front of some Japanese tourists while doing a show in Vegas. He depited the Japanese tourists as saying "whhhhooooah. zhing bing-nong bang tao. Chen-zhik fall how tao," and then said "if there are any Chinese or Japanese viewers, don't be offended: I'm sorry, it's just the way you people speak."Khaosai-Galaxy wrote:Carbo wrote:Dunno, but I have fixed in my head very clearly now a picture of K-G, dangerously intoxicated on a combination of mescalin, meth, amyl and Jose Cuervo asking a series of semi-delerious, alarmingly aggressive but completely irrelevant questions to Michael Crawford on the BBC during Saturday prime time.Terry D wrote:![]()

It reminded me of an evening of toe curling embarrassment when I spent an evening in a Japanese restaurant with co-workers, one of whom, a middle aged woman, was very drunk and insisted on speaking to the teppanyaki chef, not in English, but in some kind of school yard impression of Chinese. She kept doing it, bursting into gravelly, Pat Butcher laughter and then looking around for support.
Re: Filipinos - respect for Ricky
I have always imagined KG as being similar to "The Attorney" in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
I am currently en route to Dusseldorf on business. I will no doubt visit a bunch of places we shouldn't go to before the Haye fighrt...

And if you've only seen the film, you should read the book. It's one of the greatest works -- perhaps the greatest work -- of American Literature.

Sucking men off in toilets? Each to their own, but certainly not the first thing that springs to my mind when I`m trying to be a smartarse.

Tigers, arses and sucking men off? Sounds like Russell Brand's biography...
