Wasnt this already broadcast on channel 5 or something?

Don't think so, I think that was the pre fight build up. This is an ITV exclusive as far as I know.

Ah ok. Cheers. Surprised they've left it so long to broadcast it.

Used to be a big fan of hatton. I felt he became abit flash in the end & just seems to wallow in self pity!!
The fact he has nothing to do with his family is disgusting & it's over money it has to be.

I didn't like reading his brother bought his house off him he's a multiple millionaire with one close brother you would give it to him couldn't cost much in his manor

I see he's got another book coming out. Can't be coincidence.

'jack the lad'
'no1 pound for pound fighter in the world'
'stayed true to my roots'
'demons'
'just a lad from Manchester'
'redemption'
'liked a good time'
'in a better place now'
'no redemption'
'more demons'
'always remembered the fans who got me there'

there we go

Stockport's Ricky Hatton?
Hyde's Ricky Hatton

Yep it's a real belter ! Exclusive !
That's why it's on ITV4

We should run a sweepstake to how many times he refers to himself in the 3rd person.

Rick hatton works for ricky hatton!

Sad not speaking to his parents anymore, a sign of how money corrupts the mind of some people. Also the booze and coke probably didn't do much for him.

Rich people giving things away to family and close friends just because they can afford it is how they end up broke.

The issues regarding money etc for Ricky and the family are far more complicated than that.
The break down between then is very sad to see.

Yeah i was reading Adam Smith book at the time and he done a big chapter on how close the Hatton family were
