RICKY HATTON: "I can't stop crying."

[Mozza]

Serious Question (and a bit of a topic change).

Did Ricky Hatton gain a lot of AMERICAN fans during that fight?

Will many Americans buy a Ricky Hatton PPV? (where RH is the "A" guy)

Maybe but I doubt it.

I can cite the quotes. You have no defense. The truth is universal.

Congratulations: You're a wlaking sterotype.

Im the biggest Floyd fan there is but I understand. I was wondering if Hatton was going to feel this way. I mean all those thousands of people coming to see him and its like he had the whole country on his back. Its also very different when your losing for the 1st time this late in your career and its by a KO against a mouthy guy with alot of your fans traveling to see you. He's spent. It can take alot out of you. I dont think there's anything wrong with him crying or feeling really bad like he let everyone down. Its very humbling to say the least. I dont think this makes him any less of a man. I just think it shows that he gave it his all and it means the world to him. Im impressed by that

It probably hurts even more because RH got ****** into some stuff that wasn't him. He lost his bearings a bit.

All that "Let's fookin' have him", and throat-slashing stuff wasn't really his steez.

Ricky wasn't exactly held at gunpoint and made to talk **** or do the throat slash bit was he?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Maybe but I doubt it.

Then, that probably means that we won't see much of him in the USA. Because without a big PPV buy number, his biggest paydays will be in the UK.

His latest plan is to have five more fights and if everything goes the way he wants I would expect two or three of those fights to be in the States.

No. he wasn't.

But to be fair to Hatton, he was amped up by the crowd, and he was goaded out of his normal routines by Floyd.

The funny thing is that Floyd STARTED OUT manic, and as the fight got closer, PBF became cooler and more focused. Ricky started out cool and funny, and got wilder as the fight neared.

Floyd is an idiot in alot of things. but he has an amazing ability to stay focused and calm in a boxing context. That is why I call him the Rain Man of Boxing.

You can cite quotes all you want but quotes don't back up sweeping generalisations.

Malignaggi and Hopkins??

I'm an American Hatton fan and this is just gay. I felt sorry for him and still do for losing, but fighters lose fights. If you don't want to risk it then don't fight anybody you can't beat. You're a fighter for ****'s sake, get back out there and do what you do best, beat somebody's ass.

thats a good cd on your avy
