    If Hatton did a Gary Lockett and simply came out with it and said he was only bothered about money nobody would give a ****. What pisses people off is all this 'I'm normal' and 'Man of the people' shite - really patronising!

    I know it would never happen as Wicky is the darling of Sky Sports, but it would be hilarious if they simply said it wasn't worth putting on PPV or just said 'bollocks, we will let Setanta have it'. :rofl

    Talk about double standards, Lockett got crucified on here for his attitude to money and boxing before the Pavlik fight. Its like its a crime for a working class man to acquire a decent amount of money, being rich and being 'a man of the people' are not mutually exclusive. Poeple CAN become rich and remain true to their roots and themselves.

    Trolling it may be - just the same as you pouring discredit at my claims of the boxing gym behind my garden

    Thing is with Lockett - he is honest enough

    but there is no love for Lockett you know he has no passion for the sport - go in there taking a beating from Pavlik bag your cheque - good luck to him

    but he is not going to top any popularity polls

    Hatton needs all that PR bollocks spin on everything to make himself popular to make more money and keep the gravy train moving

    its easy to see through the guys a liar

    more respect for Lockett - faie enough to him - get the money and get the **** out - dont bull**** everyone and then ask them to buy pay per view TV you take a slice of when you say you love your fans not money

    As I've said, "good luck to him" wasn't the attitude around here about Lockett. He was getting called all sorts of ****, but now he's being held up as an example of how Hatton should behave??

    Interestingly it was Betty Swollocks who was the most scathing about Lockett.

    You have a convieniently short memory Flint. Lockett got a lot of hate on this forum in the build up to the Pavlik fight.

    I got more dislike for Hatton

    Hatton is more popular than Lockett so more people on his side

    at least Lockett is not deceiving everyone

    Eubank only boxed for money

    these people are never going to win over your heart

    but at least they not liars like Hatton

    It seems to me people are beginning to realise what transparent, odious twats the Hatton(s) are.

    "I'm just one of the lads" :|

    Is that why you put shitty fights on PPV - that the lads either pay for or don't get to see you?

    Is that why you ducked a fellow Brit in your own weight class to continue the gravy train and money spinning bonanza that usually consists of ripping off fans a.k.a the lads?

    Is that why you booted your trainer thats been there since day 1 citing some of the weakest excuses in living memory?

    Everything Hatton does has a marketing/PR spin to it.

    He did because he opened his mouth and said what he was in the sport for. Which as an SN fighter i guess was fairly obvious. Either wat at least he kept it "real" and told the truth. Meanwhile Ricky tries to sell the fans a "unification" bout against a contender that NO ONE was interested in. Its not possible in one breath to claim continually his in it for his "fans" and then not deliver the fight we REALLY wanted. For a decade he avoided Witter. Boy that Witter sure must be dangerous..

    I guess I'd call it world level

    Thought the gist of what I meant would be obvious

    Consider yourself enlightened

    NO ONE eh

    Caps makes the point so much more valid

    The audience figures suggest otherwise

    You struggle with even the basics don't you?
