Considering he was stripped of his boxing license after the coke situation, I don't see he had any other option.
Bit of a long winded interview that, didn`t watch it all.That joke picture of Hatton on youtube on the beach snorting coke still is funny as ****.
Video in this link has much more action. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...tton-confirms-his-retirement-from-boxing.html Thought the the annoucement was to say he's steping up in weight to take on Wlad http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/24/Ricky_Hatton_as_Ricky_Fatton.jpg Many can only dream of being good enough to get a shot at the likes of Manny and Floyd. Thanks for the action / entertainment.
He could have grovelled and got that back after he did his rehab. It was already over and nobodies suprised by this...only that he felt the need to officially tell us what we already knew. Maybe it was just another opportunity to get on camera.
