Didn't say it was of no object. If you see the passage of mine that you yourself quoted I said it wasn't the be-all-and-end-all; thats all. I'm not blind; I agree with nearly all the stuff you said in your big paragraph above (except for the weed).
I recall the sainted Buncey having an article published in the Scottish press where he more-or-less suggested that Hatton needed to screw the nut for a year or two. The gist of the article was that he'd been able to get away with the "I'll chuck the curries and pints before I fight and go on a slimfast diet (even got my own company)" approach, but that this would become harder and harder as he got older. He then suggested that as he'd only have a few years left at the top, why not dedicate his life to boxing and reap the rewars later once retired. (I think that's a pretty accurate recollection.) I'm all for having a week or two off post-fight, but Ricky does seem to take it to extremes. I wonder what his medical people think of his liver and cholestorol counts! Floyd Senior must be having kittens!! Another way of looking at what Bunce was saying was that Hatton has a unique opportunity to amass enough money to last a lifetime. Why not stay in peak condition for a year or two - makes making the weight easier and maintains focus etc. In other words, be professional in every way - you've the rest of your life to **** it up - go to AA, Weightwatchers etc. The problem is that when it comes to boxing, most of us have never been blessed with his raw talent and ability. Then again, when it comes to pressing the self-destruct button, most of us would be joining him in the starting line-up for Oliver Reed's starting eleven (or should that be XV as I gather he liked that other game).
On the subject of whether money buys you happiness............ Peter Crouch, when asked "What would you be if you weren't a Premiership footballer?" replied - "A virgin" I agree. Check out his bird: This content is protected
When he finishes boxing he wont have any reason to exercise. The weight will just keep piling up until he hits uncharted levels of obesity .
