00:00You've just got to take it as a lesson.
00:02We've just lost Ricky Hatton, right?
00:04Yeah.
00:04God rest the man. He was my close friend.
00:06Yeah. And that'd be your last memory of the person.
00:09You don't want that, do you?
00:10Them two losses in his career, Abbey,
00:12to Mayweather and to Pacquiao, that affected him.
00:16Oh, I can imagine.
00:17OK? That affected him.
00:19The Mayweather loss in particular
00:20because he was fighting the referee as well.
00:22The referee was stopping him doing his work.
00:25We might as well have put a glove on the referee.
00:27Do you understand?
00:28With Pacquiao, he walked on to a big shot.
00:30It happens.
00:31But I believe that they affected his mind.
00:33Yeah.
00:33Because the mind is a dangerous weapon.
00:35It can work for you or it can work against you.
00:37Yeah.
00:37If you look at when Ricky Hatton beat Costa Zoy,
00:39his mind was in the wind.
00:41His mind was on walking through pain barriers.
00:44His mind was concentrating
00:45because they were both in a bad way.
00:47Yeah.
00:47But Costa couldn't get off the stool
00:49towards the end of the fight,
00:51around 11, between 11 and 12.
00:53Ricky could.
00:54Do you understand?
00:55Yeah.
00:55But after the loss to Mayweather,
00:58I think his mind affected him.
01:00When?
01:01Yeah.
01:01And the drugs, I do say to him,
01:03I said to him many, many times,
01:05he says, Ricky, please.
01:06Because what goes up has to come down.
01:08Come down, yeah.
01:08The higher you go, the further the fall.
01:11Me and him were good friends.
01:12I carried his belt to the ring
01:13when he fought Wanyarango in Vegas,
01:14Wayne Rooney carried the next,
01:15and the Oasis brothers carried the next,
01:16but I carried it first.
01:18I'm in his book.
01:19He had a celebration party.
01:21And he said, Joe Egan came to the party,
01:24he said, he said he wasn't on the guest list.
01:26He said, but who's going to stop Joe Egan coming in?
01:29That's it.
01:30No, I'm very excited to get into it.
