Jim Watt expects the 'superstar' that is Ricky Hatton to wow a record crowd as he makes his Homecoming.
We arrived in Manchester on Wednesday and there is a massive buzz about the place.
Of course, a lot of that is down to the football, but it will be all about one man from now on in... Ricky Hatton.
I have never seen anybody with the popularity that he's got, not a boxer, not any single sportsman or woman and it promises to be an unforgettable night on Saturday.
The thing with Ricky is he good to watch, he is value for money and the people love him. Even when he was fighting at WBU level, he was still packing 14,000 or 15,000 into the MEN Arena and the fact is, back then, he was usually the overwhelming favourite.
