Ricky Hatton, the biggest fraud in boxing?.

[P4P GOAT]

Is it just me or is anyone else gettin dissalusioned with Hatton and all his crap?.

I don't post on his forum, but i always check it out before his fights.

Check out this beauty:

He wants you to pay $100 to have your name printed in a programme, man of the people or what? .

Does anyone else think his man of the people spiel doesn't wash anymore?. These days it is brand Hatton and how much he can line his pockets with.

This isn't just a one off though apparently he did this for the Mayweather fight too and i remember before the Lazcano fight he wanted to charge people £200 to have their names printed on his shorts, which got laughed off his own forum for being such a shameful money making scam.

Now the supposed man of the people has his own clothing line . He keeps ****ing on about how much of a man of the people he is (literally every interview) when he hangs around with all sorts of celebrities and bleeds his fans dry.

Another one of his money making scams was for the Mayweather fight, Both him and Floyd got allocated 4000 tickets, Floyd passed these on at the standard price and Punch Promotions through sheer greed added on a 10% mark up on the tickets for the UK fans, some man of the people.

Yet another one, he charged fans £100 for the afterfight party in Manchester after the Lazcano fight. For this £100 you got to stand in a tent in a carpark while Hatton was in a seperate building and never even visited the official afterparty.

How many "men of the people" do you know that talk in the 3rd person?. Ricky 'Atton is just a man of the people ripping of his fans constantly init?. How deluded is he and how far has he drifted from reality that he is actually convinced he will be pound for pound number 1 if he beats Pacquiao. How many "men of the people" do you know that actually think of themselves as the most exciting fighter on the planet when he fights like **** and hugs and holds?.

You only have to read his autobiography (2005) to see just how big of a hypocrite he has become).

As a former Hatton fan, i hope Pacquaio smashed him to pieces .

Most people saw through this **** ages ago, its taken you this long to work it out?

Red,



he charged you for an autograph didnt he

Nah i haven't got his autograph. My old man went to one of them evenings which Ricky does and took something with him to get Ricky to sign. He got told of his people that Ricky doesn't sign stuff, but you could happily get your picture taken with him and hand over a lot of money to have them put it in a cheap frame for you. £100 a head and he can't even sign stuff for his fans.

Lazcano fight was on versus television...not ppv.

Believe it or not some of us are UK based . It was on PPV over here.

I never thought of him as a fraud, however, after reading the first post it doesn't surprise me in the least that some people think he is.

What gets on my nerves a hell of a lot, and it's only a recent thing, is the constant blathering about "fighting for the pound for pound title". I don't know how many times I've mentioned it already, and at the risk of becoming a monotonous bore, I find it infuriating. I can hear it all the time in my head... that Ashley *PEA**** voice, as PittyPat described it... it makes me want to strangle him!

*Corrected.

I couldn't give a **** about all that stuff. It was when he started referring to himself in the 3rd person that I realised he wasn't down t'earth.
I like watching him fight, and in the ring he is no fraud, and that's were it counts. He's one of the few boxers who IS REALLY willing to fight anyone, anywhere (As long as it makes him ££££££s obv.) Most other boxers just say it.

It does matter how he acts outside the ring, because he is losing a lot of fans, and this loses him money in the long run.

You're telling me. I wish he'd stop harping on about it all the time... Every time he mentions it I feel like screaming in his face:

"UNIFY YOUR FUCKING DIVISION AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT THIS POUND FOR POUND ****!!!"

... but then he'd probably bodyshot me to hell.

Still, I hate p4p and always will. It means nothing to me as to who's in the 'rankings' or not. Hatton should be grabbing all the 140 belts instead of mithering after Floyd all the time. If he really is the best at 140, he should prove it by beating the best - and that means 4 other beltholders (3 if Bradley beats Holt).

I can hear it all the time in my head... that Ashley Simpson voice, as PittyPat described it... it makes me want to strangle him!

Ashlee Simpson?! Steady on, mate. I wouldn't go that far. I meant Ashley Pea**** from Coronation Street. :laff:

Red Army i dont think anyone really cares if you think hatton is a fraud... because theres about a million british fans who think otherwise...
Hatton has one of, if not the BIGGEST following in the sport. **** outta here.

As for the pound for pound thing... If your in the sport at this level, and you dont want to be recognized as the best in the world and known as the best p4p you shouldnt be stepping in the ring.

I don't give two ****s if anyone cares or not, i'm just gauging other peoples opinion on the subject, this is what forums are for.

I've got a feeling there is no long run with Hatton. I remember him saying a few years ago he doesnt want to be boxing into his mid 30s. He'll have 3-4 more big fights then he'll retire.
He'll make as much cash as he can in the mean time, and if someone really wants to pay 100 notes to have their name in the programme thats up to them. I wouldn't, most right minded thinking people wounldn't, but threre's always some people who think its worth it.
I agree he's getting a bit annoying but I'll always tune in for his fights.
