Trainer sues Hatton for a £1m purse http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/more-...r-sues-hatton-for-a-1m-purse-115875-21363257/ 16/05/2009 BOXING Former world boxing champ Ricky Hatton is being sued for more than £1million after falling out with trainer Billy Graham. In a High Court writ, Graham, 53, claims he is owed money from Hatton's 2007 welterweight bout with Floyd Mayweather Jnr in Las Vegas and his clash with Mexican Juan Lazcano last year. Graham, 53, has been paid £530,000 for the Mayweather fight but says this is less than the ten per cent he is entitled to. He says he has received nothing for the other fight. Hatton, 31, who was defeated by Manny Pacquiao earlier this month, sacked Graham last July. They had been friends for 13 years..
I want to get paid for bouts I had nothing to do with, too! Being enough of an ass to end a decades-long friendship isn't, in itself, worthy of a High Court case. Bring it to Judge Judy, Graham. Hey, at least it wasn't over a woman.
errr...he was the trainer for the PBF and Lazcano fights. Wicky is the one that has ignored a long-term relationship to keep a bit more money for himself....possible illegally so. The man is a greedy toad.
Ah, I read it wrong. I thought the legal papers had already been filed on those two fights and assumed this was a new suit having to do with the Pac bout.
