No Man City stadium gig for Ricky Hatton -- Sunday People

Ricky Hatton's hopes of a City of Manchester Stadium swansong have been dashed.

The Hitman, who lost in devastating fashion to Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas last May, hoped to stage his comeback fight at the home of his beloved Manchester City in June.

But the football club want their pitch in pristine condition for the start of the 2010-11 season and have decided against hosting other events during the summer.

Hatton beat Juan Lazcano at Eastlands in front of a 55,000 crowd in May 2008, following the first defeat of his career at the hands of Floyd Mayweather Jr.
