Despite many pundits predicting that Ricky's best days were behind him, punters steamed in to back the popular 'Hitman' and cleaned up on the stoppage victory. "The difference between a points win and a stoppage win was well into six figures for us." said William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. "If we could have got in the ring and thrown the Malignaggi towel back out we would have done." One punter bet £10,000 at 3/1 that Ricky would win inside the distance. Another bet £20,000 at 2/5 on him winning at any stage. "Over 90% of the bets we took were for Ricky, whose victory was never in doubt after the second round. Loyal Hatton punters have won back a great deal of the money they lost whedn Ricky was beaten by Mayweather." added Sharpe. |
