The biggest win of Ricky Hatton’s career -- when he thrilled the hometown Manchester, England crowd by stopping Kostya Tszyu in the 11th round to win the junior welterweight championship in 2005 -- was televised in the United States on Showtime. Two fights later, Hatton signed a multi-fight contract with rival HBO and fought his next seven fights either on HBO or HBO PPV before retiring in 2009 following a brutal second-round knockout loss to Manny Pacquiao.
