Hatton repeatedly watched his KO by Pacquiao "every day"

right after the mayweather fight:
Round One began on Friday. Ricky downed six pints of lager near his flat. He then sank another three lagers, six pints of Guinness and five vodka and Red Bulls in Tramp nightclub.
Round Two the next day saw Ricky supping another six lagers in preparation for a night out at The Dubliner.
There, he polished off seven pints of Guinness, two pints of rum and the alcopop WKD, three whisky chasers, and three vodka and Red Bulls.
Before the boxer finally stumbled into a taxi at 3am, a witness said: "He was bladdered, totally blotto - but still an absolute gent."
Round Three on Sunday saw Ricky, of Stockport, despatch five pints of lager in various bars during the day. Then he whiled away the evening at Blaydon Races aided by five pints of Guinness, five vodka and Red Bulls and two vodkas.
Round Four on New Year's Eve had to be something special. Ricky limbered up with six pints of lager, a huge burger and extra large chips.
Two seats, guarded by bouncers, were reserved at Blaydon Races. Ricky and Jennifer arrived at 10pm to an impromptu chorus from revellers of Blue Moon, the Manchester City anthem which the fighter enters the ring to. The hero then settled in to seven pints of Guinness followed by four pints of rum and WKD.
At midnight, Hatton downed one bottle and shared the rest with friends. He then drank four vodka and Red Bulls and two vodka shots before leaving unsteadily at 3am.
A recommended weekly alcohol intake for men is about 22 units or 11 pints of weak beer. Ricky, who famously balloons by up to 40lbs between fights, had a bare minimum of 144 units in four days.

Hatton "can't stop crying"
by Mark Doyle, 20 December 2007
Ricky Hatton has revealed he cannot stop crying in the wake of his devastating welterweight title defeat to Floyd Mayweather.
‘The Hitman’ was stopped in the tenth round of his bout with the WBC champion in Las Vegas a fortnight ago and Hatton freely admits that the loss, the first of his professional career, has had a massive effect on him.
“I feel like a woman at the minute - I can't stop crying. All that's missing is a pair of t*ts,” the 29-year-old Mancunian is quoted as saying by metro.co.uk.
“I feel like my world has come to an end. It's going to take a while for me to get my head round it. The biggest fight of my life was the biggest disappointment.
“I think the problem was I lost my head a bit. I was feeling sorry for myself.”
However, Hatton is not entertaining any thoughts of retirement and is planning to drop back down to 140lbs and prove that he is still one of the finest fighters in the world.
“I'm still the best light-welterweight in the world, so I'll get over it,' he claimed. “I'll be back.”Comment

but honestly from a humane stand point i hope everything goes ok for ricky. he seems like a really cool down to earth guy, and it would be ashame if anything dire happened to him.
it's really not his fault he bought into his own hype. if you have hoards of people constantly telling you everyday "you're the best, you're the best" eventually you're going to buy into it too.Comment
