He also referrs to himself in the 3rd person.
His biggest flaw is apologising to the country. And his fucking Dad crying on the telly. Jesus wept. He's dabbled in Cocaine, just like the vast majority of imbeciles that surround you on a Saturday night in your local City Centre.
As an aspiring Stand Up Comedian (or something like that.....whatever he does when he tells that Mike Tyson joke) Ricky should know his audience. And on this occasion his audience is mainly the pissed up Asbo's who follow him across the Atlantic in their thousands to watch him fight. There's no need to apologise to them. Half of them will have been coked up when they read the story. Some of them probably can't read anyway. The only people who could possibly be offended are the incoherently stupid, and they'll stop being offended at Ricky as soon as Angelina Jolie gets a boob job, or Paris Hilton gets a speeding ticket. Infact they're probably reeling from the fact that a £250 a night hooker has made it through to boot camp on the X Factor.
The only other type of person who could really give a shit would be the proud father who's son idolised Hatton. But then you have to look at the logic behind allowing your kid to idolise a bloke who punches someone in the head for a living.
I've lost some respect for Hatton. The Churchill advert, wearing a Stoke City shirt at the Britannia Stadium, referring to himself in the 3rd person, claiming he was fighting for the p4p title against Pacquiao. I still haven't forgiven him for telling me to put my mortgage on him beating Mayweather.
All that was bad enough, but then he goes and gets Max Clifford involved and he tries to put a spin on everything. Appearing on talkshows, balling his eyes out. His Dad balling his eyes out. He was even desperate enough to talk to the very same newspaper that busted him.
He just needs to give it a rest, and let it blow over. He'll have rebuilt his reputation in a couple of months just in time for Christmas. Then he can release a money-spinning book - Ricky Hatton: My Struggle.
We all know it'll happen.
