    There's a pair of signed gloves worn by Ricky Hatton.

    How much would you bid for them?

    If Ricky was selling them then personally I would suggest a pint.

    I personally wouldn't bid on them at a charity event but each signed glove might retail in the $90US range if it's a nice clean signature on a Lonsdale or Everlast glove.

    There's an outfit from the UK who looks legitimate, selling them for about 50 pounds on Ebay right now, for a single signed glove.

    Most items like this usually sell for much more then they are worth at charity functions.

    Will Ricky be there personally?

    Since it's for charity, I might go as high as a dollar.

    It's a small local do - not the sort where drunk rich twats try to one up each other.

    The gloves have been worn by Hatton (though I suspect just for sparring) and they are clearly signed 'best wishes Ricky Hatton'. I think Derry Matthews sorted it out.

    Went to the do. Th gloves were brought by someone other than Matthews.

    I asked what fight they were from and was told 'the Juan Lazcano' one. That piqued my interest, and I was ready to bid. Then I saw the gloves - they were red . . . .

    Still too much. Especially if they came with some bullshit story about them actually being used in a fight.

    They were used in a fight. Just not a Ricky Hatton fight.

    £150 for a pair of genuine Hatton signed gloves is a decent price, especially when it is all for<strike> cocaine</strike> sorry I meant charity.
