RICKY HATTON FACEBOOK
IT has been brought to the attention of Hatton Promotions that
false and inaccurate comments have been attributed to Ricky Hatton
on a social networking site.
The Facebook page in question has absolutely no links with
Hatton Promotions or Ricky.
Lawyers are now taking the necessary steps to have the offending
remarks removed and all unofficial Facebook pages using Ricky's and
Hatton Promotions name closed down.
Hatton said: "This rubbish that has been printed makes me feel
sick to my stomach. Please, please do not believe a word of
it.
"Of course, I am well known as a Manchester City supporter but
any rivalry I have with Manchester United is good humoured
banter.
"I would never ever make nasty comments about their players or
the club's long history in private or public.
"My younger brother, Matthew is a United fan. I am friends with
Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand. Wayne even carried my belt into the
ring when I fought Jose Luis Castillo in Las Vegas.
"I can say 100% that I have never used Facebook in my life and
that I am proud to say that I got as much support from Manchester
United fans as I did Manchester City fans through my career.
"I can assure all Manchester United fans that I have nothing but
respect for the club's achievements although I do look forward to
the day City pip them to the Premier League title.
"What has been posted has nothing to do with myself or any
Hatton Promotions employee and this matter is being taken up with
Facebook as a matter of urgency."
