Ricky Hatton
Ricky Hatton was born in the town of Stockport, a few miles south of Manchester, England. Hitman Hatton was a while off being the guy who sold vast numbers of Ricky Hatton fight tickets as a young kid, surrounded as he was by adult soccer players, but Hatton was determined. Hatton learned early in life that he wanted to box. Eschewing his family tradition of playing football, or soccer, young Ricky set his sights on the canvass and its glories.

He enjoyed a meteoric rise from a straight knockout in a leisure center in a nearby town to the bright lights of Madison Square Garden within just two fights. How could a lad resist such adoration?

Ricky Hatton was in his late-teens when he went to MSG and felt the power of boxing. Soon enough demand for Ricky Hatton tickets would soar and his legions of soccer-oriented Manchester fans would fly to ringside to see a Hatton fight.
Hatton was born in Stockport and raised in Hattersley. Stockport is a proud town by the River Mersey, famous for rope manufacture in the 18th century. Hattersley contains a Manchester overspill estate, and this was where young Ricky Hatton learned about the hard knocks of life. The singer and X-Factor winner Shayne Ward also grew up in Hattersley. Both came from humble beginnings and have cultivated a strong following as a result. Ricky Hatton tickets are sought so avidly because people want to see this down to earth fighter get in the ring and enjoy a taste of victory.
