Ricky Hatton back on booze weeks after rehab

Ricky Hatton should join the reality show "The biggest loser" he would win it easy at same time it would benefit him in health (losing a lot of weight) and in publicity to improve his image.

Awesome! Good Job Ricky! BTW, does anyone have a good working link to the Showtime fights? PM me for points, thanks in advance. I mean, what type of loser follows a popular figure around and counts the number of drinks he has in a night? Beyond being a loser... thats the gud old british culture. u wanna see the most ppl wasted at the same time? come to the uk on a friday- saturday nite. streets lined with drunken turds all sprawed over on the roads and sidewalks. its pretty amazing site if yr into that kind of thing.

He had all these issues when he was winning, it's nothing to do with losses. He's clearly an addictive personality whether it be food, alcohol or cocaine. Addiction doesn't discriminate no matter how much material success a person has had in life. I'm guessing boxing actually gave him focus and kept him disciplined at least for the periods leading up to fights, he doesn't have that now. Hmm, then he probably has hidden issues that we don't know about. If that is the case, then I do feel more sympathy for him. Unfortunately all our well wishing is not going to help. He needs to straighten himself out before he kills himself. I dunno, I hear stories about how some athletes have 'baby sitters' because their personalities are so difficult to manage. Perhaps Rick needs that for his own health...at least for a little while. Not that we should demean him and call his watcher a 'baby sitter' but really...he is out of control and needs to be reined in. Good post, guy. You put it into perspective for me. I really did not know this was a problem DURING his career.

Pathetic **** from this "reporter" what a joke. Get a life, dude.

So he drank 32 beers in 2 days. Thats 16 beers a day. About 1 beer per waking hour. He did just have to pay his ex trainer 1.4 million euro so I think hes entitled to have a drink. At least he had the sense to call a taxi and have a friend drive him around.

What adversity has he had in life? When a man who has had as many fortunes as he has carries on this way because of two losses He had all these issues when he was winning, it's nothing to do with losses.

feel bad for Hatton...hope he gets better.

Big surprise. The guy's done fighting. Let him drink, drug, and eat all he wants. He's earned it.

Am sure the paper was implying he also drug cocaine when he got into that BMW. Am not surprise at all, The man is an addict for years now, The problem was he wasnt expose because of his PR people.

Ricky needs to make a comeback. He doesn't even need to fight good opponents, I'd watch and support him... It is hard to pity a guy who is throwing his life and fortune away. It's not like he had a bad break. He got virtually everything he asked for including 2 fights against two DIFFERENT P4P number 1 fighters. He came up short. He's had his cry, now he needs to man up and get his head out of his ass for his woman's sake, his kid's sake and, not least of all, his own sake. Let's think about this. What adversity has he had in life? When a man who has had as many fortunes as he has carries on this way because of two losses I wonder at that man's courage. Oh, I will grant that he has the courage to enter the ring and slug it out with the best of them, but he seems to lack courage to live life in anything less than the brightest moments and what I believe is the answer is that he was never truly all that humble. He needs to understand that being a man is more important than being the best. To be a man he needs to accept his losses, hold his head high and carry on. The more he behaves like this the more he will have to shame him and the harder his recovery will be. Although, the more I think on this the I believe that woman who ratted on him did more harm than good. Whether this is merely the 'rough patch' before the good things begin again remains to be seen, but for right now it seems that her blithe revelation has served to unhinge, and not ground him.

Ah its only a bit of Guiness...it'll put hair on your chest... Actually im worried about hatton hate seeing turning into a waster

he needs to think about his son for fucc sakes

sounds like he gots a stalker to me...

21 pints of guinness is ridiculous. He isn't going to stop unless he wants to. No amount of rehab will do anything to fix that.

Ricky needs to make a comeback. He doesn't even need to fight good opponents, I'd watch and support him...

Ricky was at least a little bit healthier when he was boxing. The signs aren't good.

Troubled boxer Ricky Hatton went on a *massive two-day *bender – just weeks after leaving rehab. The former world champion downed 21 pints of Guinness and 11 bottles of lager during two shocking sessions this week. Family and friends are said to be “worried sick”. Hatton, 32, recently underwent month-long treatment for depression at the Priory Clinic after being filmed snorting cocaine in a hotel room. In an emotional public *confession, he told fans he was ashamed and determined to straighten out. But on Tuesday and *Wednesday this week, we watched as he trawled pubs in Manchester and downed *dangerous levels of booze. Hatton’s binge began at 5pm on Tuesday. The star left *Manchester *County Court – where former corner-man Billy Graham was suing him for £1.4million – and walked to the nearby Sawyer’s Arms pub with manager Paul Speak and a pal. Hatton sank five pints of Guinness in just one hour. At 6pm he walked alone around the *corner to The Old Grapes. He drank another four pints of Guinness while chatting to fellow drinkers. A taxi then took him back to the £1million home he shares with partner of seven years *Jennifer Dooley, 31, nine miles away in Hyde. On Wednesday afternoon, the court case ended abruptly after an out-of-court settlement was reached – prompting *Hatton to hit the booze again. He started at 3.15pm with the same two friends in the Old Nag’s Head, where he sunk four pints of Guinness in an hour. Speak stayed for one drink, then left Hatton on his own to drink another five pints of his favourite tipple. Hatton cut a sad and lonely figure as a trickle of fans *approached to chat and ask for pictures. But after an hour and 15 minutes he left alone, walking to The Old Grapes where he had another three pints of Guinness. He left the pub with two male friends who had met him there, and moved on to the city centre’s Bar 38 where he had two *bottles of lager. Hatton and his pals crossed a cobbled square to the *Epernay Champagne Bar where he necked three more bottles of Mexican Dos Equis lager. At around 8.40pm he *briefly left the bar on his own after taking a call on his mobile. He walked outside and climbed into a grey BMW and was driven around the block *before being dropped off where he’d got in. As the car drove away, he went back into the bar and continued drinking. Hatton and his pals stayed for another 10 minutes, before taking a taxi to the trendy Living Room bar, where he got through six bottles of Peroni lager in three hours. He finally called it a night around midnight. Last night, a Hatton family source said: “He’s heading for disaster. He said the Priory had straightened him out – but he’s back to square one. It seems that whatever demons he has are still inside him.” In October, Ricky’s cocaine use was exposed by Emma Bowe, 29, who lifted the lid on their 11-month affair. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2010/12/12/ricky-hatton-back-on-booze-weeks-after-rehab-115875-22777547/ I love limeys...

Shame as he looked pretty healthy earlier when they showed him in the crowd
