RICKY HATTON’S dreams of facing the world’s No.1 pound-for-pound fighter Manny Pacquiao at Wembley Stadium next year appear to have been shattered.
The fight now looks certain to be staged next May in Las Vegas.
Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum is reluctant to let the Filipino superstar fight in Hatton’s back yard unless the Pacman gets the bulk of the cash.
That means Hatton will settle for another Stateside fight, where he could earn a colossal £20million.
The Hitman was desperate to defend his IBO and Ring Magazine titles in Britain, but will not be short-changed.
The Manchester idol is set for a holiday with his girlfriend over the New Year and then a cruise with his family in February.
