Ricky and Floyd go face-to-face on both sides of the Atlantic

Ricky Hatton and Floyd Mayweather will meet face-to-face on a trans-Atlantic promotional tour. The pair will embark on a five-date schedule in America and England - the first time since the days of Muhammad Ali that such a showcase has travelled across the seas. They will hold three media sessions in the United States and two more in the United Kingdom ahead of their eagerly-anticipated showdown - dubbed 'Undefeated' - in Las Vegas on December 8, live on Sky Box Office. Their first port of call is Los Angeles on Monday, September 17th, before the tour heads north to Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayweather's hometown the next day. The American leg closes with the glamout and glitz of New York on Wednesday 19th, before Hatton is back on home territory in England. They will meet the English media at the O2 Arena in London on Thursday, September 20th and the following day, the Hitman will be paraded in front of his adoring Manchester public at the Town Hall. Tickets for the MGM Grand showpiece go on sale at 6pm on Monday, September 17th. Due to a small allocation of just 3,900, fans wishing to buy their tickets in the United Kingdom must enter a postal ballot set up by Hatton's Punch Promotions company.
