I suppose its easy to say that here (not in the ring with pacquaio) so I Guess It probably came down to Pacquiao not giving him a chance to get his groove going on, its hard to say. Either way I feel Hatton could have done better but it just wasn't his night.
Still an awesome fight from Pacquiao though!
I don't watch boxing as closely as I used to, so I'm not familiar with Pacquiao's fighting style, but if I'm not mistaken - Pacquaio fought like Mike Tyson! (peek-a-boo style)

He crouched alot when he approached Hatton, kept his head constantly moving and blasted unconventional combos (being a southpaw probably helped a little?)
