BOXING hero Ricky Hatton has sensationally been caught on film snorting the illegal drug cocaine. In images that will rock the boxing world, the 31-year-old sporting legend is seen chopping out lines of white powder before hoovering them up his nose through a rolled-up £20 note.

That's him completely finished now and it won't help his potential career as a promoter.

Did you not see him on TV earlier in the week, poor oul Phil is in a bad way. Last time I saw Eastenders he was on the drink, now drugs, he is the road to no town that one.

I'm sure Don King will be the first to express his outrage at Ricky sullying the good image of boxing promoters everywhere

Finished as a boxer. He still promotes the brother, can't see that changing regardless. I'm well aware Mr King's behaviour is the tip of the ice berg when it comes to boxing promoters

From the story:

"Emma Bowe, 29 - the current Irish national senior women's boxing champ - told us how she flew from Dublin into Manchester to attend a cage fighting event with Hatton."

That's nearly every sunday the news of the world has been bringing someone down.

- Peter Crouch
- Wayne Rooney
- Ricky Hatton
- Pakistani cricketers

Who's next I wonder?

I would guess they were the ones who released the John Higgins story too?

Completely finished?  He said so himself the other week, I'm sure that scorting a bit of coke isn't the reason he is finished either.  As for promoters, as mentioned earlier you just have to look at Don King if you want to talk about criminal records, think he has a murder conviction on his. 

The NOTW seem to be able to scoop the dirt on the rich and famous, and seemingly they must have evidence on all of what they report as most don't try to refute their claims. I know in cases where they have video that it's pretty hard, but Rooneys example last week was a bit different.  It just seemed to be her word and nothing else.

Apparently Ricky is depressed.

No wonder, I'd be right and depressed myself a few days after a good session like that.
