Your Scandal Update: Ricky Hatton checks into rehab, NBA player involved in Mayweather fiasco

I’m guessing she took the video with her phone.

As for Floyd, I just want all this nonsense to end and hear about his next fight already

Yeah, I hope he gets another Big Boy fight so he can catch up on his Big Boy taxes and maybe buy another Big Boy car to park outside the Big Boy mansion, and I sure hope he doesn’t have to face any Big Boy charges for alleged Big Boy crimes, or even possibly Big Boy consequences for his behavior. I mean, all he did was allegedly threaten to Big Boy kill someone after allegedly beating his Big Boy ex-girlfriend in front of his Big Boy son.

It wouldn’t surprise me if this was a “negotiated” story. Not fake, but negotiated. The NOTW, & other news organisations have a history of working with celebrities/Publicists to divert attention from the" real stories" by publishing other less damaging “negotiated stories”.

Anyone who’s followed the NOTW’s scandal on breaking into thousand of Politicians and Celebrity voicemails in the UK will know what I’m talking about.

A former NOTW journalist admitted to the BBC last week that he would get a hint of verification for stories by listening to notable people’s voicemails, then call their publicists and say we know your client is doing “this and that”. The publicist would then ask how they could possibly know about “this & that”. The journalist would say, “we just know”. Essentially the journalist calls the publicists bluff making them believe he knows the full facts of a story when in reality he knows little. The publicist would then negotiate a less damaging story to be published to save their client some face.

This could explain why there’s cameras in several different places in the hotel room. I find it hard that his “female friend” would go through that much trouble of setting up at least 3 covert cameras, when a camera phone shot would do. Either way, she can’t have setup the 3 covert cameras on her own.

How come in the NOTW article they don’t even hint at Hatton possibly having any kind of sexual relationship with this “female friend”? what’s he doing in her room @ 2:45am topless? Tabloids will almost always insinuate sex is involved, but the article doesn’t even mention the three letter word. That could be the real story; Hatton caught cheating on his fiancee with “femal friend”. Team Hatton could easily have negotiated w/ NOTW to give up his drug habit story to stop him being branded a “Love Rat”.

The NOTW still get a story that sells papers on the Sunday, Hatton gets to keep his fiancee from hearing he’s been playing away from home. Also, Hatton is saved the humiliation from being called a Love Rat from the public & every opinionated person with a soap box to scream from.

And doesn’t really care anymore since he’s now retired. I haven’t seen much indication that he’s actually depressed.

I’ll miss him for the big Sky fights, though. He’s good.

Mayweather’s an idiot. Talented, good looking and rich, but a real, honest-to-God moron who needs to get a reality check. Yes, I mean a prison sentence. It won’t happen, and he probably doesn’t deserve it for this particular thing, but it’s the only thing that could potentially help straighten him out.

Dude’s spinning out of control in predictable fashion.

not the nicest character, but he’s pretty effective at what he does.

No surprise here. The disgust, however, is unbounded.

For me, Children re sacred. For a man, a boxer no less, with full knowledge and training, to attack their mother physically is not just vile and reprehensible, it is unforgivable. What Floyd and the Mayweather men do to and with their women is their business, but when they strike them it id unacceptable by any standard. No excuses.

Hatton is hopefully taking the first step to recovery. As bad as it was having this woman distribute the video of him hoovering line after line of coke, in the end it might, if he takes recovery seriously, be the best thing that happened to him.

Our UK mates can corroborate, but it has always been my understanding the Ricky was and is known to hang with a pretty rough and partying crowd. We know he is abusive just be watching his weight ballon up and down throughout his career. That was no ordinary weight gain. It was excessive and gross…..and funny only while it lasted.

I believe he may well well be depressed. He’ll, can anyone think of a more illustrious career ended and remembered by an image of them on their back, out cold twitching. I don’t. That is a fight tape one simply does not look at if you are Hatton. Do I think that definitive end could lead to depression. Absolutely. Think George Foreman after Zaire. Depressed, forlorn he sought refuge in God….and thank God he found him.

You take Hatton’s highs, consider the depth and timing of his lows, and then toss in lots of drugs and alcohol and you have a basket case in need of rehab.

The big and fundamental difference between Floyd and Hatton is that Floyd has now beat on others physically and emotionally (his children). Hatton thus far has injured only himself.

1. Whether or not she’s a golddigger (she may well be)
2. How she met, or why she prefers, one type over another.

She could easily be a lot of bad things. Nothing she is or could be, as the mother of 3 of his kids, justfies anything he is alleged to have done, and it’s looking good for the prosecution.

Are you talking about CJ Watson?

;)

I’m more of a basketball fan than a boxing one, and CJ Watson can only fit your description in the most nitpicky of ways. He is a world class towel waver. He might as well be the bottom rung of professional basketball.
