Ricky Hatton is already mapping out his schedule for the megafight with Manny Pacquiao on May 2 at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas. Once the fight details are finalized, Hatton plans to go on a tradional cruise with his family at the start of the new year. Hatton has already locked in the date of February 1 for the start of his training camp, with trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr.

"Manny has been at the top of my radar since he beat Oscar De La Hoya. I went in with the best fighter in the world in 2007 when I lost to Floyd May weather and I will do the same when I get in the ring with Manny. Every boxer wants to prove himself against the very best and that is what I have done again and again," Hatton told The Sunday Mirror.
