Hatton - Documentary

Watched it last night. It was a really good programme. It was quite sad to watch in places.

Randomly flicked on to it about 5 mins in and stayed to watch the whole thing; thought it was very good and as you say at times was very sad. Hope he continues to get his life and relationships back on track.

Don't know much about boxing but found the part with Mayweather Snr all a bit weird!
 
I've just watched this and my blood is absolutely boiling. It's weird, I dont know any of the protagonists whatsoever, but I am absolutely raging.
I have always thought Ricky's father was a bit of a wrong'un just from the outside, but watching that documentary, he is clearly an absolute, hateful, **** of the highest order. And I use that word very deliberately.
An absolute, **** **** ****.
What sort of father rips off his own son? And his mother is equally as bad as she didn't do anything to stop it. Two utter, complete, bastards.
May they rot in hell. Sat there on their 1970's settee with a smug, satisfied smirk on their ugly fucking faces as they discuss ripping off their son who was literally risking his own life every time he went 'to work', whilst they openly and deliberately stole his money.

His ex-girlfriend comes across very well indeed however. She is a lady.

Poor old Billy Graham. did his best for Ricky, and had to watch helpless as Ricky's father and mother ripped everyone off.

Great Post KD,one of the best Sports Documentaries I’ve ever seen upsetting at times.

It looks like he was getting badly advised and some people were blinded by the money. I didn't think his dad came across very well.

Hatton was very open in it talking about his issues. Quite brave I thought.

I’ve not watched it yet but I thought I’d have a read on here to see if anyone was mentioning his dad after I saw a post earlier from a mate on Facebook, basically saying what a **** Ricky’s dad is.
Now I know why.

Half way through. Very good watch so far. Shame that money seemed to change things after the Tszyu fight. What a great boxer he was though. All heart. Real man of the people and a City fan to boot. Saw him at Chelsea away a few years back and the concourse was rocking with the Ricky Hatton song. Did anyone see him in Istanbul ? Saw the pics of him there.

Mayweather was just a step too far and even then, watching that fight, the ref stepped in way too often to separate them. Still rocked him in the first with that jab.

Felt for his trainer, treated like shite by Ricky’s dad
