How much does Ricky Hatton make?

April 18, 2009 by queen bee  
Filed under sports

Ricky Hatton saves money on manager’s cut because he continues to manage himself. His dad Ray is his business adviser. ‘I don’t make a move without my dad saying,’ Hatton says. ‘When I first turned professional, I went to work for my dad. I was carpet fitting, and I was earning £150 to 200 a week. Then I turned pro at 18, and all of a sudden I was earning £3,000 (213,000 pesos) a fight. I had nine fights in my first year, so that’s not a bad living for an 18-year-old.
