Roach was asked to train Ricky Hatton in his next fight

Well now there's even more motivation for Roach to prepare Pac to beat Hatton. Way to go, Ricky.

There you go! An early excuse for a Hatton loss! Very convenient!

wtf did i just read? roach fell in hard for the $$$. i had never heard of a manager trying to get fighters for his client, a trainer. he wants a big star in ricky hatton, and wants a future super star, victor ortiz. lol, fukin freddie.

Yah.. thats true xoz ricky's aware that he will lose the fight come may 2nd and he needs freddy to train him on his next none-title match.

I was going to talk about this earlier but I saw on another site where Hatton & Floyd's camp denied it. Here it is: 30 Apr 2009 Hatton-Mayweather split untrue According to a source close to the Ricky Hatton camp, and trainer Floyd Mayweather, Sr., the rumors of a Hatton-Mayweather split are not true. After a story broke on Yahoo! Sports about turmoil in the camp, about 5 p.m. P.T., the rumors began to circulate. Yahoo! Sports published that there was talk of Hatton working with Manny Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, for his next fight; and that Hatton was miserable working under Mayweather. Soon after the story broke, rumors that Mayweather and Hatton had split became the talk of the town. Those rumors, ********* has been told, are false.

all this will be a side note if ricky wins....winning cures everything. yeah, if hatton wins this won't be a problem

Trainers typically make 10% off the fight, right? So Ricky is guarenteed at least $12 million of which Joy should cash 1.2 million. That's for 10-12 weeks or little over 2 months. 2 months of work, and he reportedly shows up late for more than one session? I don't know about you guys but I know ton people left and right who are being laid off nowadays. This guy's at Taco Bell in first 24 7 . Hatton and his team have been in this game a long time, and are the cream of the UK boxing scene. I don't blame Lee Beard and co. if they think he's a wanker. ricky could do better than floyd sr.

If you guys read the article, it is "heard" of discontent. Well, i heard also that Roachand Pac are discontent with each other. Pac would like to be train now by Flody Daddy. what language will pac and floyd sr. be conversing in? would it even matter? :dance:

ricky never really wanted floyd sr. in the first place. remember , guys , it's suppose to be hatton-delahoya right now not manny-ricky. i wouldn't be surprised if floyd sr. was sent to hatton's camp as part of the upcoming promotion of hatton-delahoya. oscar's former trainer is now training oscar's new opponent. would have added something to the oscar-ricky 24/7.

This is not good news for Ricky. Problems in camp are the last things he needs going into this tough of a fight.

i knew this would end fast.

all this will be a side note if ricky wins....winning cures everything.

the problem with mayweather is that he becomes the center of attention not the fighter .... i guess it runs in the family
