You already know that Ricky Hatton has suffered a humiliating 2nd-round knock out defeat at the hands of world’s best pound-for-pound boxer Manny Pacquiao. However, do you think that Hatton is the ultimate loser in the bout? Well, in terms of performance inside the ring, it is Hatton who is the apparent loser, but if you take the financial gain of Hatton from the bout into consideration, then you have to admit that Hatton is not the ultimate loser in the fight. Why?
Ricky Hatton may have lost the match, but the Briton added $12 million to his bank account through his much-publicized match which is dubbed as “The Battle of East and West.” So, you can say that Hatton is the loser in the bout from all aspects. However, to me, the boxing fans, who bought the match tickets for a high price and paid a large amount to get access to the match on television, are the ultimate loser in the game.
