At a press conference to publicise the title fight between his brother Matthew and Lovemore N'Dou in Stoke next month, Hatton was keen to talk up the venue.
He told his conference that when he fought Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas, fans kept coming up to him and asking: "When are you going to fight in Stoke?" With the delights of the Strip so close at hand, the casinos, the swimming pools, the bars, the buffets, the hotels, the sunshine, it looks rather a strange question to have put to the man who was then Britain's biggest boxoffice draw.
The promoter would never admit Hatton to this, of course, but I suspect his answer would have been something close to: "Not in your lifetime."
