I've just watched it now and I have to say that there was nothing there that surprised me. He does seem to be making a few excuses for himself, but a lot of what he says seems plausible. Of course the loss to Pac destroyed his confidence and he has obviously taken it on himself in a very hard way. Then of course maybe a few other personal demons thrown on top. Some resort to the bottle and Hatton did just that. And in this instance the bottle was beginning to takeover. He does seem to be trying to say that the drugs only came because of heavy drinking and again this can be quite true. I would argue that you are more likely to do things you shouldn't after imbibing a certain quantity of alcohol. Hatton likely does blackout and is probably more inclined to use after a few beers, only he can know the truth to that really.
All in all Hatton gives a fair account of himself, but like a said before, I don't know why he is telling the NOTW all this. It must be his agent/team trying to put the redemption spin on it. Like Bilbo says, sportsman often have to play out the apology/redemption role whereas others like Noel Gallagher, for instance, are able to wear their drug abuse merrily on their sleeves. I think in the case of someone like Hatton it is different though as Noel has never tried to be a role model or present a somewhat wholesome image like Hatton has in the past. And let's be honest, liking a pie and a beer is relatively wholesome by British standards.
Like I've said before, I just want to see Hatton ease down on the abuse of food and booze and just get on with his life. At least he seems to be coming to terms with the fact that his career is over. He hasn't embarrassed himself and should move on. He isn't the first or last to get stopped early in a big fight. These things happen.

Shit interview really, if he is not going to tell the truth like he says he is at the start of the interview why fucking bother?
He says he only started to dabble after the Pac fight BOLLOCKS!! He doesn't even think he has a booze problem ffs.
He doesn't even know how many times he has taken cocaine well that's cos he has taken it for years, all just one big publicity stunt this, shame Hatton has been advised to do this then tell lies in front of the camera.

He says booze isn't a problem, but he admits it makes him black out and do stuff like cocaine. Serious case of denial.
People who have done cocaine "sparingly" don't cut it as profieciently as he did, and they sure as hell don't do 3 lines in one go.
Like the original poster said, I never lost any respect for him when I heard he got popped for coke. But this sorry display makes me lose a lot of respect for him.

This guy needs alot of help. Without full acceptance, he really is in a heap of trouble, and right now for his sanity, a big brother in the midst is welcomed more than just a breath of fresh air.
What is sad though is that, with all the monies he had earned from previous spoils, the wrong kind of truth got an exclusive invite to his ears. The wrong kind of stuff if one is interested in staying in the right path, but what has now dominated his thoughts in this period of bitter reality. Power potion for depression if allowed at length.
Laying off the guy with harshness will probably be more constructive at this juncture... from all points with concern, despite the understanding that nowadays, they do come pricey.
Edwin and Arturo do so now rests, but surely they'd say aye!

it was sadder watching that interview than watching him take coke.
ok so its dammage limitation, but at least he's not in the pub so its a step in the right direction whatever his motives.... still a sad sight.

It's nothing more than a poor attempt at damage control. I agree that it is ridiculous, but it is a common occurrence these days.

Same crap 90% of the "stars" are doing once caught, nothing new under the sun, come on, circulate, there is nothing to see there.
