Billy Graham launches £1 million legal bid against Hatton

Seems like Hatton's former training is suing Hitman for a cool £1 Million quid for loss of earnings. Always ends bitter dosen't it.

Wow! I wonder if it had anything to do with the 24-7 series, and Billy Graham saying he was annoyed to see Ricky not defending him against all the slating from Floyd Sr? Sad to see though.. and let's face it all Floyd Sr has done is shown how good a trainer the Preacher really was.

I was kinda hoping they would have one last fight together, but that wont happen now

Well no different from Hatton and Warren falling out really. I think Graham had Hatton fighting perfectly at one point in his career. Then Hatton went power crazy and neglected his boxing skills.

Graham did well with Hatton, and now does Floyd Sr look a better option.

IfGraham is owed the money then pay up Ricky

Sounds like Graham just trying to get a cut from the fights he didnt train Hatton for- but its a stretch to try and categorise that as 'lost earnings' unless they had a contract beyond his last fight with Hatton. If there was no contractual obligation on Ricky towards Graham after the PBF fight, then he 'owes' nothing to Graham.
Either way Ricky should be sweet, coz if Graham does get damages for lost earnings (unlikely unless they had a long-term, beyond the PBF fight contract) then Ricky can just sue the dip-sh*! lawyer who advised him he'd be legally sweet to walk out on Graham. Anyway, sounds like sour grapes on Graham's part to me, this is boxing and boxing is business.
