    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.

    Tricky one this one. I read somewhere that Billy Graham himself said that they never had a contract and it has always been a gentlemans agreement.

    Therefore what does he get 10% of?

    10% after Ricky has paid everybody else?
    10% of Ricky's inital bout fee
    10% of any fees plus PPV revenue
    10% less cost of accomodation and travel

    Without a contract its all up in the air for me, unless it is all in his book.

    May depend what the 10% has been previously.
    Tip of the month: Protect yourselves at all times. You never know when the scheming bitch will come back for more.

    not totally sure whether hatton/graham had a contractural agreement when hatton signed the 8 fight deal with sky sports.

    That was before mayweather and within 2 fights graham had been sacked. If however it was a mutual agreement between the 2 and hatton paid graham himself i cant see what case billy has here

    If there is evidence of the verbal agreement being put into practice, where Billy was given 10% of a fight purse, then he has a shot. Especially if there is a corroborative witness or two such as Kerry Kayes. I feel sorry for Billy Graham, not sure what chance has against those scheming bastards Gareth Williams & Paul Speak.

    Hatton admitted in his book that Graham got 10% (so someone says in this thread) and Graham will have bank records showing that so he's got a pretty good case. Will Hatton risk going to court and being seen as a guy who won't keep his word? It's a bit of a blow to his carefully constructed salt of the earth image, isn't it? Or will he try and keep money he rightfully owes somebody else even though it'll trash his image?

    yeah i no billy graham has alot of love for ricky, but if ur owed money then it becomes a different story. i wonder if ricky will pay him without causing a fuss and denying he owes it him.thats if ricky does actually owe him it. it would be sad if these 2 fell out

    Hatton's already trying to rob people of money he owes them and he isn't even a proper promoter yet. It looks like he'll fit right in with the other top British promoters. What an arsehole.

    It was first revealed in the press a week or two before the fight.

    circulated rumours can hardly be construved as factual evidence.

    Im pretty sure hatton himself didnt make his mind up until after the fight and the criticism he took for his performance.

    Hatton/Graham has many elements of tyson/rooney about it

    Never!?!

    It was let out just before Hatton's fight, so they probably knew it was coming even before that.
