Also, looks like he could join his brother with Brian Peters in ireland!

==============================================

Ricky Hatton will fight another five times over the next two years, his manager and father, Ray, has revealed.
The 29-year-old suffered the first defeat of his career 11 days ago when he was stopped by Floyd Mayweather.

But the Mancunian fighter has vowed to carry on and Ray Hatton confirmed his son will have two fights next year followed by three more fights in 2009.

Ray Hatton ruled out Junior Witter being his son's next opponent but said that fight was likely at "some stage".

"Ricky's only 29 and he could go on until his early 30s, but he doesn't want to fight when he is a shadow of himself," said Ray Hatton.

"It goes in cycles with one year having three fights and the next, two, so it will be two next year.

"He would prefer to fight in Manchester, but he has been asked to go to Ireland, where he has a huge fan base.

"It's really too early to say who he'll take on next, but it will be a world-ranked opponent, as Ricky's got to get up for it.

"I can see a Junior Witter fight at some stage, but not right now."

A little bird, Brian Peters, told me at the Lee-McKay fight on Saturday that Macklin is likely to be fighting in Limerick on February 2, which is good for me. Andy Lee is topping that card at the University.

Does the airport have seating, a mcdonalds and annoying latvian people waking you up? We could get the ferry and drive... or not?!?!

Do they have an airport?
Shannon Airport; about 20 mins away from Limerick.

If your stuck for a place to stay then you can crash at my (well, my family's) house, where i am currently. They are away all of Feb and i'm going over for the fight.

Or Pum-Pum, or maybe for the Current scene, Poontang.

A limerick:

There was a young girl from Madras
Who had a most beautiful ass
Not rounded and pink
As you probably think
But grey, with long ears, and ate grass

Be careful, it can be seasonal and it the weather's too choppy you're fcked.

I might go as haven't seen Macklin fight before provided it ain't Feb 2.

Surely not. Is asking you to drive out of your way, come to my house, pick me up, let me snooze in the car and then take me to the airport asking for too much?
Then wash his balls after.
