    BBC sport is saying Hatton's lost his licence and been fined 20K. I am disappointed. There are loads of boxers who do far worse and are allowed to box. Though it may be a blessing in disguise health-wise. You thoughts?

    He's a promoter. Its the right decision. You make a mistake you pay the penalty.

    He applied to for his license though just in case he decided to box again. I dont think Ricky knows what he wants. Other than beer and coke of course.

    He knows he's not going to box again and so do the BBBC so this decision was obvious, they look like they're putting their foot down. If he was in the build up to a different fight or something they would have acted differently. Makes sense.

    He wasnt going to fight again he was just keeping his options open, at least he'll go on to be a good promoter, he gave us some good fights over the years sad how it all unravelled though
