Billy Graham is suing Ricky Hatton

[TheMacMagician]

Graham was a very good man and should be given what he is owed.... For sure.

10% of someones career who is putting his head/body and soul on the line is way too much for a trainer. Hatton deserves every penny he gets and should keep it.

Thats not the argument here mate, maybe 10% is to much but the fact of the matter is Ricky and billy had a 10% agreement and Billy has been shafted so Ricky doesnt deserve every penny as he has agreed to pay Billy and has not.

He should have made 15-20%. Some trainers even demand more. 10% is nearly insulting imo. My opinion of Hatton started to change around the time he beat Castillo. It seemed that he got to big for his own good, and he thought he was bigger than he was and in his mind he outgrew Graham. Even his fallout with Mayweather Sr was a lot on him and his failure to listen to Floyd Sr. I say good for Graham. He doesnt owe Ricky any loyalty, it seems like it was Ricky who broke that bond.

My opinion on Hatton is so low at the minute, that I'm not surprised at this.

I heard his dad on Setanta sports hinting that the last defeat wasn't Hatton's fault. ffs.

Hatton to me, is a bloke who did well against an aging legend twice and that's about it. Ducked Witter - got embarrassingly outclassed when he stepped up to the big boys (when they weren't over 35) and blames everyone else when things go wrong.

Hatton used to talk about cementing his legacy. I guess he'll be in the top 100 UK boxers of all time - HoFer? No way.

No matter if 10% is too much or too little, the fact is: If they had an agreement and even more a contract, Graham has fully the right to get this 10%. Of course, if he really hasn't been paid for the job and if the situation isn,t more complex than what it has been stated in the article.

[Bomp]

It's open and shut, just pay him what he's owed. He also showed a lot of class by not dumping it on him while he was preparing for a huge fight.

Managers usually get 15% ...10% is a sweetheart of a deal for a guy who took Ricky to the absolute top of his game.

Even though I think Ricky would have lost to Pac no matter who his trainer was but if Graham had trained him he would have made it out of Round 2 IMO.
