Arum "Hatton looks very heavy,Around 165"

[Guy]

That’s the assessment of Top Rank promoter Bob Arum" Hatton looked in better shape than before but he is still very heavy. My guess is that he was like 165 pounds while Manny looked very trim and around 150 pounds."

Hatton claimed he was "in fantastic condition already and that shows you how much I am up for this fight."

As a box office attraction it has a huge dimension because of the tremendous number of pay-per-view buys in England." He calculated that the fight would do over a million homes in Britain. Arum pointed out "that’s an element that no other fighter brings to the table. Not (Floyd) Mayweather Jr, not anybody else."

He said English homes are paying $23 per home and "that is the bonanza in this fight" which in addition to the $8 million in gate receipts will also earn from the US pay-per-view buys which Arum believes "will be very, very strong. We are very optimistic."

Tough for those without aswell.

I've already given up after about 2 lines.

[Guy]

I suppose I should :-((....

[GazOC]

I skimmed it and got the gist.

[TFFP]

Same here. Something about Hatton being very heavy.

[Guy]

Ok how about this.....

Arum said "Hattons still a fat bastard no matter what he says".

[GazOC]

Same here. Something about Hatton being very heavy.

..and a church...??:huh

[TFFP]

..and a church...??:huh
Aye. Some shit.

Hatton didn't come across very well IMO.

[dwilson]

Hatton does look fat still.

[dan-b]

Fat in the face but that's nothing new.

[GPater11093]

he has a fat head aswell

[GazOC]

He'll have this round of press conferences and then get down to the serious work starting next week.

[LeadLeftHook]

Big fucking deal Hatton still has plenty of time to shed weight!

[TFFP]

I know but it suggests he's been eating a lot. There is loads of third world starvation...I'm not blaming him...but...

[GazOC]

Valid point...:good

[achillesthegreat]

Bollox. Manny is 150 on fight night. I strongly disagree that Manny is ready to dry out, make weight and be in fight shape.

God knows what Hatton is. He will be in shape on fight night. Once against Urango he was ill and once against Collazo he binged slightly. However he was ready for war in both and that is a big part of what pulled him through.

[maka]

i've seen him lookin far heavier than that on telly between fights, i think he's laid off the grog and fry ups

[Cobbler]

Arum has no business telling anyone else they look 'very heavy'...

[nulty]

Arum has no business telling anyone else they look 'very heavy'...

That's uncalled for if he said that to Gary Shaw I'd be in full agreement.

[BigEars]

Hatton will be in amazing shape come fight night, that's one thing you can guarantee.

[Rebel-INS]

Arum has no business telling anyone else they look 'very heavy'...

Yes but Arum is about 400 and doesn't have a fight in a couple of months.

[Healy]

His head is fucking bigger than mine

[debaser]

Arum clearly knows very little about Ricky Hatton. With 2 months to go I think everybody in his camp will be delighted with his weight. This is the guy who regularly walks around at about 190. 165 with so much time to go is fine.

[bored]

Is Arum like the terminator, can just look at people and see their weight next to a load of other information like how much money he can potentially make from them.

That would be so cool if he could do that:D

[El Cepillo]

Arum is right.

I don't think Hatton looks that bad really.

[barrington]

Arum is right.

[Only registered and activated users can see links] ([Only registered and activated users can see links])Thats taken with a wide angle lens and a low view point,makes it look worse than what it is.Hattons only short with quite a stock heavy bone stucture don't forget.
