What a load a shite. You keep saying this and I keep reading it, but it's utter tosh. He doesnt need the money, what planet are you on ? Ricky has made well over £20 million and some. He still lives in house at the end of a very normal street. He isnt flash, all his cars have been given to him, and his Dad controls all his money. Ricky only gets paid a wage per fight, his Dad puts the rest away in a fund for Ricky and his son Campbell.

He is coming back because he always said he could never go out on a loss. It's a massive pride thing with Ricky, and in some ways, even though he is a mate, he can live a little in denial. He'll blame Cortez for the Mayweather loss and his training camp for the Pac loss, although some of that is justified, but he still wouldnt have won fully fit for me in either fight.

Ricky, as much as he's the lad next door, loves being Ricky Hatton. Without that adulation in the ring he feels a little lost, much like most fighters. Although most fighters have never had the unbelievable support he has.

Ricky has his own gym, his own promotional company, his own clothes brand, jeez he has the lot. Money isnt the reason he is coming back, and if you truly believe he is, you either know nothing about the lad, or your just being plain ignorant.
It doesn't matter how much he's got in the bank, there are people with billions who are hungrier than ever to earn more than they've got already. There's money to be made and he wants to make it rather than fannying around at Altringham leisure centre making a few thousand quid. I can agree with the bit about him feeling lost but the main reason he's coming back is all down to money. If you walked into his gym in Manchester tomorrow and told him he'd have to give every penny he made in the ring away from now on he'd take the gloves off and go straight down the pub.
