Plus, taking cocaine and drinking is the toughest fight of his life? Poor Ricky it's so tough, having to say no drinking 10 pints of Guiness and snorting 7 lines of coke a day. How will you ever find the willpower to say no to that.

is that all he does 7 lines? what a girl

10 pints of guiness is perfectly managable on a night out in town, as long as you havent got work the next morning that is.

never done coke (other than the 99p stuff my mum gets me from somerfields) dont have no idea what thats like combined with the black stuff

That's my point though Hammer. Instead of just telling the news of the world to fuck off and ignore it Ricky, clearly concered about the image backlash went to rehab, got his dad to cry on national tv for him and then gives an exclusive to the NOTW about how he's fighting the toughest fight of his life

How can you have ANY respect for him after that? Obviously he had a chat with Max Clifford who advised him to prostrate himself before the British public and ask for help in order to get their sympathy, support and ultimately in the long term, publicity and cash.

It really wouldn't suprise me if he got a spin off reality show 'the Hurting Hatton's' or something all about the family's struggle to cope with Ricky's drinking, his near death experience from his cocaine blackouts, how an angel came to him, how his brother copes with having no talent and looking like Sloth from the Goonies etc etc.

He took cocaine in private in his private life. Big fucking deal! Tell the NOTW to do one and use your contacts and promotional power to make sure Emma Bowe never gets a pro fight ever again, along with uploading whatever porn pics he surely has of her anonymously onto the internet.

That would have been my reaction.

he just did the very same thing anyone in the public eye would rightfully be advised to do, he held his hands up and admitted he made a mistake.

As ive said had hatton of just stuck his finger up to the camera and carried on as if nothing had happened then we would all be on here know saying how out of control hatton is and now he needs help.

Other than the whole selling your soul to the news of the world thing i cant see what hatton has really done wrong here...

[erics44]

this is exactly the reaction the news of the world wanted

all these so called boxing fans turning on one of the best loved british boxers because of what one dirty news story

they can carry on printing crap now fuelled by the new hate for hatton

I don't know. Part of me is in full agreement with Bilbo. He makes a lot of good points regarding how the media is there to exploit a situation and how Hatton has sold himself out, but at the same time I don't want to see Hatton going down the George Best route. This was probably not the best way to deal with the situation. Surely his family could have been notified and they could have locked him in a room without anyone knowing. Extreme I know, but to solve the problem by telling the entire country that you are an out of control druggy? Bit weird. It's a messed up situation all round.
