Well, considering Ricky's love of a pint or two of Guinness, this comes as no surprise at all. However, if one thinks this is a certainty to make money, then they would do well to think again.
A friend of mine recently moved to Lanzarote, opened up his own bar/club, & it's not going to well.
Boxing champ Ricky Hatton is opening a chain of "Hitman" bars which he will run when he hangs up his gloves.
The first of the four venues - in the mould of footballer Gary Lineker's bars - will open this year in his home city of Manchester, where 55,000 fans saw him defeat Juan Lazcano last weekend.
Hitman bars are also planned in Blackpool, Tenerife and Las Vegas - where Hatton, the IBO light welterweight champ, had his only professional defeat to Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather.
All are places where Ricky, 29, known for his love of Guinness, has taken part in legendary drinking sessions between fights.
"His bars are bound to be lively places and Ricky is insisting they all have plenty of Guinness on tap," said an insider in Hatton's camp.
