Nope. But to be fair, he could be fighting Carlos Vilches and the place would still sell out.

The Gilf has already slagged him off for these poor sales, claiming the Brits have forgotten Rick and moved on! From a country that is besides itself that they have sold out the Thomas and Mack centre a few days before a major title fight! Gilf returns to form though saying he hopes Hatton doesnt get the same favours as he got when nearly knocked out by Lazcano(?) in his last appearance at The M.E.N .....

The Gilf?

Lazcano didn't nearly knock Hatton out, how do you nearly knock someone out?

I dont, usually. I bumped into it when looking how Hatton's ticket sales were going.

I know, hence the .....

A couple of mates have just tried getting some. All 75, 50 and 40 pounds tickets seem to have gone! The guy is a phenomenon.

The fighters on the undercard have got a lot of the 50 and 75 ones

Any idea who's got them and how to get hold of them? This is going to sell out soon and the prices on the secondary market are crazy.

I go to lots of gigs, festivals, fights and the cheapest way to do it is place like eBay the week of the fight... when people just want to get rid of them. You'll probably got a ticket for 50 quid or two for 80...

Bit of support for a BoxRec poster I guess.

I dont think we will eva see another fighter in any other combat sport ,mma or boxing that could bring their own fanbase like Hatton can !

Who is training him, is it Bob Shannon?

Yes

Even if it goes tits up he's going to make a good chunk of money off this one fight!

Can you honestly see him getting in with anyone half decent after a 3yr lay off drinking, smoking, snorting coke and riding hookers

Shame I didnt take that bet

Id put money on him not training Hatton should he come back. What are you basing that on? When Ricky said it a while back? If so, id say a lot has changed since then.

Take away what anyone thinks of Bob Shannon on a personal level, ie he is a nice guy with a good back story etc, this is a woeful choice by Ricky.

He left Billy Graham because he felt his defence was being neglected and has now gone to a guy whose fighters sadly lack in defence, a guy who his own brother left because he felt he was getting hit way more than he did before.

Come on Ricky son lets get the body bag on and you can fall into me and punch crap out of it whilst making you feel good about yourself.

Absolute balls!

Other than being a good conditioner what exactly is Bob going to bring to the table that will get Ricky back to where he needs to be?

There are three people in this country that would have been better suited never mind in the world but it would appear Ricky is content with giving the job to a yes man who will tell him what he wants to hear whose own ego is out of control, if you dont believe me just look at some of his interviews with Matthew Hatton in the build up to Matts fights where he constantly refers to it being "his" destiny and the win would be good for "him"

Maybe I am wrong but I see Ricky coming out of whatever fight he has win lose or draw with a face like a car crash victim
