    Comments Thread For: Ricky Hatton Humbled By Ticket Record-Breaker For 11/24

    A record-breaking 18,000 tickets were sold for the hotly anticipated Ricky Hatton comeback bout within 48 hours of them going on sale.

              He can, but he won't. It's not his style.

                      Ha, Ricky is Manchester's Batman: "we all need someone to believe in. Hopefully I can be that person". Would love to see Ricky come back strong. Top bloke.

                          Its true, he'll never beat the elite fighters, but he can make a hell of a lot of money entertaining his people in England. More power to him.

                                  Eh, you mean possibly some of the best fighters to ever don a pair of gloves? Right? Hatton ran over a good number of "elite" fighters. Just not some of the most wicked. Ever. Try and forgive the guy.

                                      He was cutting his teeth under Frank Warren most of that time. He's already said he's not coming back to take easy fights.

                                      I can see him fighting in the US again.
