Ricky Hatton Set To Quit
08 March 2010
Bookies William Hill have refused to accept any more bets on boxer Ricky Hatton officially retiring during 2010 after receiving a string of calls from punters wishing to bet that the popular former world champion will hang up his gloves imminently.
"We have taken too many calls for it to be entirely coincidental - the vast majority asking for odds that Ricky will quit this week." said William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. "But we are not entirely gullible and as there is no obvious reason why he should do that, we declined to take the bets as we felt the people asking at least believed they know rather more than we do about Ricky's plans for the future. We've been floored too many times by Rick's fans in the past when they have backed him to win his fights than to take another financial blow to the head in this manner. At the start of the year, we were offering 1/2 (1.5) that Ricky would come back during 2010 and fight again."
