What has been said?

Hatton has said: “I was worried some of my true fans were being priced out and they’ve pulled off a sponsorship deal which makes them a lot more affordable. They’ve opened up a section aimed squarely at thousands of my biggest followers. It’s going to be where the party’s at - and they agreed to price them all at £25.

“It puts them on a par with a night out at the cinema – and we’re going to have a lot, lot more fun with one of the best value boxing cards you could find for a very long time. To be able to walk out in front of the fans again in Manchester is a dream for me.”
