    if they didnt have a contract why is hattons ground for defence 'he wrapped my hands badly and i didnt happen to mention it at the time or until now' instead of 'im not contracted to even give him anything and i still gave him 500,000 for one nights work ffs'

    The hand wrapping isn't Hattons defence in this case. The hand wraps are an excuse for the loss, I'd guess the defence will be the lack of a contract.

    Ah right well fair enough

    tbh theres a lot of people getting upset at hatton in this thread but personally i think how the **** can the guy complain at only getting 533,000 thousand mother****ing pounds for ****s sake.

    may have been harsh how hatton ditched him but he made his money, move on

    I can see both sides.

    Graham was used to getting the 10% and, unless he'd been told otherwise, thats what he would have expected for the Mayweather fight.

    On the other hand, boxers usually put their trainers on a lesser fee when they start earning multi-millions and Billy did get over £500,000 for less than 3 months work.

    Of course because its Hatton a lot of people will have made their mind up about the issue as soon as they read the thread title.;)

    The thing is if they were doing everything verbally they probably have agreed to something like this anyway?

    It would be a bit weird if it never came up wouldnt it.

    Not So!!

    If there has been a standing precedent in that Graham has always received 10% then the judge has the discretionary powers too award the case to Graham seeing that the above has always been the norm, this ai'nt the states. This could well open up a can of worms for both of them as no doubt a forensic financial examination will be called for with regards to tax earnings declared by both parties so if either Hatton or graham have tried to salt a % away from prying eyes then this will all come out.

    Hatton's attempting to do a Warren & cripple Graham with legal bills. Greedy ****in scum, too much ££££ just ai'nt enough for that grasping family, They made around $500K+ just from selling Mayweather tickets to the major ticket agencies in Vegas & the corparate hospitality companys here in the UK. **** the loyal fans, they rounded them up like sheep & fleeced them when the big day came!!

    Billy Graham loved Hatton like he was his own son.

    Billy Graham believed in Hatton when nobody esle really did.

    Billy Graham got the best out of Hatton mentally & physically.

    It was the biggest mistake of Hattons career to leave Billy Graham..!

    only reason the hitman is not wanting to give the preacher his 10% is cos ricky has sniffed 10% of his millions on barry white.

    Is that what the argument is over though? I thought that it was 10%, but now Ricky won't pay it because he says Graham didn't wrap his hands right or something.:lol::rofl:patsch
