Ricky Hatton at the weigh in for his comeback fight against Mexican Juan Lazcano at the City of Manchester Stadium. The fight could break all UK box office records. Currently the most watched live boxing spectacle in Britain was Nigel Benn against Chris Eubank at Old Trafford in October 1993. Last year 35,000 saw Joe Calzaghe beat Peter Manfredo at the Millenium Stadium. The City of Manchester stadium cold possibly hold 55,000. Lazcano is a stayer having only been stopped once in four losses, so his chin may test the Hitman’s power, but at 32 the feeling is that he is passed his best…or maybe he isn’t?
