I sold out the City of Manchester Stadium in six hours


Boxing's new pound-for-pound sweetheart is wriggling on the end of a verbal agreement that according to Hatton's lawyer is binding. Money, as ever, threatens the peace.

"Look around you. You can see how many have turned out tonight. I sold out the City of Manchester Stadium in six hours, 55,000 people. Thousands follow me to Vegas. How many people does he bring from the Philippines? Not many.

No disrespect to Manny, he is a great fighter, and deserves his pound-for-pound accolade. But I bring as much to the table if not more than him. We agreed a 50-50 split. It's that or nothing."

Hatton has added Liam and Noel to his big-fight retinue. Veterans of the Vegas bout with Paul Malignaggi last November the Gallagher boys will top the list to carry Hatton's belts into the ring against the Pacman, should he soften his 60-40 demands. If nothing else they ought to stiffen the delivery of Blue Moon.

Yeah....the 200K ppv against Malignagi really bolster that argument. Bye bye then. Maybe you can fight Witter....oh wait you'll just run the other way.
