That's an argument to have a neutral ref (which he should insist on in any case in all of his fights). It's not an argument not to fight in Manchester.
This hometown thing is hugely overblown. It's up to a fighter's promoter to make sure in the negotiations that the ref and judges are all neutral, and respected, and not hometown ones. If they don't make sure of that, it's their own fault.
In any case, Hatton isn't going to fight anyone for the next six months at least, so this discussion is all moot.
