went to a ricky hatton talk on Monday...

...waited for three hours as the promoter tried to flog crappy memorabilia and two bad stand-up comics told racist and/or sexist jokes. then finally hatton comes out and talks for 35 minutes, seemingly drunk or high on coke, sniffing a lot, then stumbles off. was rubbish, and hatton looks in a bit of a state.

 

Not sure what to say or ask.

Was there a buffet?

 

Is he coming back as a cruiserweight?

 

Money well spent I reckon! :bears:

 

::

Sad. Really sad. He's got the same problems Bruno had. No, not that he can't fight, but that he can't get over the fact that its all over for him.

 

Bonkers Hatton ::

There's only one, or two, or maybe more Ricky Hattons.

 

Though REED Made a Funny @ Hatton's Expense, He's ALWAYS Admired Dudes' AMBITION to Challenge Himself @ World Level, His In-Ring DETERMINATION & the Unadulterated, Lovable LUNACY of his Fans....

REED's Often Spoken of his Affinity for Drunken, British Fight Crowds and How he WILL Be Part of One Before he Dies (This WILL Happen)....NONE Embodied the Sheer Sense of ATMOSPHERE REED Has in Mind, Like Ricky Hatton Fight Crowds Did...There's Something to Be Said for Fans Caring THAT Much about You & REED Wants to SOAK that Shit In @ Least 1nce...

Viva Ricky Hatton!!!



REED:bravo:

 

Bruno and Hatton are both likely manic depressives. For both guys, there's probably deeper issues there than JUST their boxing careers being over. It likely goes deeper than their professions.

 

Ask Feebles, Ask Slice, Ask Jimmy, ask Caligula..................they will tell you that Anthony Joshua is going to be your best chance to relive the Hatton-Bruno-Benn style MANIA..........utter raucousness combined with a near blood-lust, carnival type atmosphere.

If Joshua vs Fury comes off, for the title, then that's the one to be at.........but you better mortgage the ranch just to get a ticket.

The night that Benn fought McClellan, I am pretty sure that Roy I'm Hard Bruce Muhammed Lee Foster Liston could have been in town, and Benn, with that crowd, would have given him hell.

 

Brilliant Video, features the full buildup, anthems {which presaged what was to come, must see} and then the fight and the mob crowds part in same.

Agreed, to be a boxer, you probably have to have some sort of ability to reach emotional depths and peaks beyond the range of the "normal" human.

Throw in an attention lust that comes with being a massive star, and then the head injuries, training injuries, substance abuse...........and you have got a recipe for depression down the line, especially when you consider that, as men hit 40, they have a bit of a crisis in any case.

utterly contemptible referee... Fight should've been over in round 1

 

Me the feeble and some other brits think benn won the fight fairly ::

 

Never fight in England!!

 

Oh I know it, the Brits have been doing cartwheels over this fight since it happened::

They also think Donald Curry was just fine when he fought Lloyd Honeyghan

 

He was, it's just that fags lack fortitude....

 

you'd need more fortitude than me to take a cock up your arse.

 

And that everybody over 6 feet tall started playing Football and Basketball the night Golota beat the shit out of Bowe. ::

 

That started happening in the 70s really

 

no buffet.

but they were selling beer in big plastic 2-pint glasses. and you could go backstage and get a photo with "The Hitman" for 20 quid.

 

UPDATE:
Talking of buffets, found this the today:

That's revolting. If you're gonna get obese at least do it with style....wouldn't feed that swill to a dog
