Will Ricky Hatton face his fans after losing?

[Vladimir303]

Bored of these tiresome deliberate wind up threads which include the same drivel.
The people creating them don't even realise what they are doing it seems.
For the record , Ricky Hatton always has time for his fans and is always respectful to his opponents.
Why on earth ....should he lose , would he be any different?
This thread has been created to wind people up.
There is no genuine thought behind it which is of a constructive positive contribution towards the Mayweather V Hatton fight.
Know what I mean?

You're right. I should have wrote a thread from a Promoter's perspective. Something like: "This is a great clash of styles between two great fighters. It's the recognized jr.welterweight champion vs the recognized welterweight champion. Neither one has been defeated yet. Somebody's 0 has to go between these two top p4p greats" blah blah.

I have put some thought into this since the interviews are being heard by the crowd in the arena as well as opposed to in the old days when the people watching on TV only see what the fighters are saying. Taylor ran off after he lose SO it's not inconceivable to think that Hatton might do the same.

The real question should be, Will FLOYD stick around to address the crowd if he loses? Floyd has dismissed Hatton as a talentless bum/wrestler. Floyd has the status of pfp#1. So it is of no shame for Hatton to lose to him. Given Floyd's ego and sensitivity, i say he goes to his dressing room to cry his eyes out if he loses. Hopefully he will have 50cent's shoulder to cry on, while Leonard Ellerbe rubs his head.

This is the classical definition of bitterness.

You don't have to become a Mayweather 'fan'. But at least acknowledge the accomplishment and what you just saw.

You are not a boxing fan.

you no **** all to scrutinise me an if you do your research on me ud quickly find out that i am a big mayweather fan.
i love watching mayweather fight and respect what he does in the ring , my boxing fight dvd collection would probably rank up there with the biggest on this forum but i only own every fight off 2 ppl ricky hatton and wait for it floyd mayweather junior. the reason nobody will give a hoot bout mayweather if he does a number on hatton because hed of done it with complete ease and ppl will look on it has hatton been inferior rather then mayweather been that dam good and floyd and ppl like you dont help the matter. if ppl gave hatton the respect he deserves and sometimes put him on a false perch of greatnes then you can milk the win for all its worth but if your dismissing hatton has a no hoper wat does that say bout mayweather if he proves that????
ali needed frazier hagler needed hearns and so on so why cant mayweather need hatton for hes claim to greatness

It's pointless to ask a question that we will not have an answer to since Floyd will not lose to the bum as you called him.

I ask because it's more then likely Hatton will be bruised, beaten with a beach towel around his head. He did say that there is no way he is losing this fight so if he does.......I'm just sayin.

As many of you have noticed, HBO has put the post-fight interview's with Larry Merchant on speakers so the crowd can hear what the fighters are saying after the fight unlike before where only TV land would get to hear the interviews.

So the question is, will Ricky Hatton face all of his fans from Manchaster and stick around for the interview or will he like Taylor tuck his tail between his legs and leave the arena and answer questions backstage?

He has been almost guaranteeing victory lately.....it seems like it would make it hard to face the crowd after a beatdown after all that....specially when you got the towel that your corner threw in on your head covering up your bruises.

At the end of the night Hatton will need a group hug from all of his supporters

What kinda question is that?? The British dont Dis-own there man if he loses! The Dif is Hatton will do all he can to win, If he loses then we know hes done his best..He will not lose fans cos he lost..But I guess I see what your saying though....Like what the Taylor fans and the people from his own town turned on him and was putting him down before the fight with Pavlik...Nar that **** can only happen in the U.S

I agree, I see Floyd leaving the ring quick-like the way Jermaine Taylor did after Pavlik. As for Hatton, like you say, no shame losing to most ring magazine's #1 pfp. Only if he quits on his stool or get's knocked out in the first round, and I see neither of those happening.

Bad comparison my friend. Tyson is a lil *****. He would have ran his mouth even more had he landed a lucky punch and won that fight. Fact is he got his ass handed to him and started taking everything back he said blaming it on trying to promote/hype the fight.

Mayorga did the same thing....twice. All them insults at Trinidad and Delahoya and once he got knocked out he runs to their corner and hugs them. Now he is back insulting Vargas.

I don't respect fighters like that. If you're gonna be a tough guy and insult people don't come crying and huggin them after you get undressed.

Anyway we've gotten off topic here.

you don't understand the game yo.. it's not personal between the fighters, unless there is real beef like in the case of Morales and Barrera or are too arrogant like Vic Darchinyan is, you feeding into the hype too much, at heart these guys are sportsmen, they respected each other all along but they end up giving the credit that was due after the fight because then the profits have been made, the money is already in the bank so there is no more to gain from a financial stand point so there is no more hyping, THEN they can big each other up but before hand they have to market the fight the best way possible even if it means playing the role to sell them tickets and what better way to market a fight than with trash talk? all they are doing is making their checks fatter and it works because look at how they have you talking right now, you believe them words and don't read between the lines which is very naive..

why you think Hopkins gave Tito love after the fight as well as Tarver? why you think Tarver did so too with Roy? why you think Mayweather did so against Gatti and De La Hoya? Mayorga to Forrest and Tyson to Lennox? it's because it was all hype, they shielded what they felt all along and gave the fans what they wanted to hear/see.. money is a big part of the fights and means a lot to the fighters, no boxer would fight for free and every boxer wants the most money possible so they use marketing scheme's, staged press conferences and premeditated incidents that create buzz, they do all what you accuse them of doing but you don't realize their actions do not coincide with their feelings, they do what they must and put aside all respect they may have for the moment but the truth comes out, the problem isn't what they are doing dog the problem is that you are in a boxing forum yet you don't understand the business side of the game.. 100

You're giving Tyson and Mayorga way too much credit for being smart business men......they're not. They did their trash talk and they lost.

I say you're the naive one.

I'm giving Tyson and Mayorga credit for the BUSINESS side of things not the actual fight, they could get their asses kicked from here to spain or kick ass themselves it really doesn't matter, I was referring to the promotion aspect of it like the way Bernard did with Winky, B-Hop mushed Winky to stir some **** up and generate more revenue, he did everything possible BEFORE the fight so that AFTER the fight he could walk away with the most money, the outcome of the ACTUAL fight at that point doesn't affect the pay day, maybe it can decrease or increase a fighters pay days in the future but for that ONE fight he gets paid..

funny you should say that about Tyson, I remember watching a Documentary about him that was called "Mike VS Tyson" (I know many of you heard of it) and a boxing journalist(he's popular I just forgot his name, I think it was Ron Borges) told a story about how one time he had tried to talk some sense into Tyson, told him to change up his **** and clean his act up and then Tyson looked up at him and said "Yea, but will I still be Tyson?", it didn't go in those EXACT words but it's the same message, that right there let me know that although A LOT of **** he did was clearly because something was wrong with him that somewhere deep inside of him there was a method to his mayhem, he may have ****ed it all up but he was getting $$$MONEY$$$ when he came up and that wasn't for no reason, that rep was built over the years threw his antics and he generated more hype which was more money so when I saw that film I knew that there was something more to it..

as for Mayorga well any boxer who smokes a cigarette directly after winning the world title is screaming for attention, any fighter who blatantly lets someone hit him in the face then comes back to win is a good fighter no doubt but also screaming for attention, doing that **** so in his next fight you can see him do it again, it was SUPER hyped with Trinidad cuz Tito is known for power. his bad ass, I'm going to **** you all up image and antics during press conferences combined with that loud mouth of his makes for a good pay day, people want to see him either get his ass whooped or whoop some ass either way they watching and thats all that matters, once that is done they can show the respect they had all along.. I know I just wrote some long ass **** but I go in depth with mines, I respect your opinion I just don't agree and the way you originally sounded was like you feeding into the hype, the dog that follows the steak on the stick, last I checked thats being naive.. 100
