Both were invited and attended Pac's victims party and they just hit it off right away.

Hatton was always a fan of the Mexican style & loved to body punch. He was/is a big fan of Barrera & they became friends. I think Marco carried Rickys belt into the ring against Jose Luis Castillo although I may have my fights mixed up.

Before Ricky there was a Manchester/Irish boxer named Michael Gomez (real name Armstrong) whose fans used to wear sombrero's & he would sometimes come out to Mariachi.

He was a right character & probably did more coke in a weekend than Hatton did in a year.

I'm sure others could shed more light on the whole Manc scene back then.
