Hollywood, CA:- It was a presscon made for Hollywood complete with
huge strobe lights that lit the sky, gorgeous models courtesy of RockStar
Drinks and Tecate Beer and red carpet to boot.

Manny Pacquiao, the Filipino spitfire better known at the World’s Best pound-
4-pound boxer and Ricky Hatton, the Brit they call the “Hitman” met for the
first and last time in the Southern California area to hype their big fight on
May 2nd at the MGM in Las Vegas.

Thanks to the publicists of Top Rank and the Golden Boy Promotions, the
event turned out just like they planned, Hollywood style to the max.

Fans lined the portion of Hollywood Boulevard fronting the fame Hollywood
landmark, the Roosevelt Hotel as early as 5:00 PM for the event that was
scheduled to happen at 7:30 PM and security guards struggled to keep them
inside the barrier. Judging from the “cheering” contest, there as many Hatton
fans as Pacquiao fans.

There was a huge turn out from the media coming from England and parts in
between. Even the Latino media was represented well, a testimony of the
popularity of both fighters. Of course, not to be out done, a horde of the
Filipinos from the media, both TV and print, came as well.

When the talking got going, nothing new was heard. Bob Arum stated that
Pacquiao being the faster guy will beat the Brit. On the other hand, Richard
Schaefer representing the Golden Boy Promotions as Hatton’s promoter
indicated that size this time will matter.

Hatton, he said being naturally bigger will eventually outlast the Pacman.

Freddie Roach nonchalantly said that Pacquiao will flatten the Brit in three
rounds, something that Floyd Mayweather Sr. vigorously denies. Hatton,
according to Mayweather Sr. will win the fight because he is better and has
the best trainer.

Pacquiao and Hatton of course left all the talking to their trainers. They were
cordial to each other, a true indication of two classy gladiators. Pacquiao
even hinted that he would like to meet Hatton after the fight for a game of
darts. “I want a re-match of the dart game played in England”, he said,
eliciting a huge smile from Hatton.

Immediately after everyone has had their turn on the microphone, the
fighters retired to two separate tables for interviews with the print media.

A huge trophy was presented to the media. It will go to the trainer of the
winning fighter..

All in all, it was a very “successful” event, if hype is used to gauge it. Kudos
to Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions.

mickey rourke needs to lay back on the plastic surgery.

you can just see as far as body mass hatton is def. the bigger guy....and its nice to see these 2 guys respect each other...in these times...all you hear is "how much i hate your guts" before fights...you dont get that with these 2 guys

mickey rourke needs to lay back on the plastic surgery.

i know he used to own wildcard gym.

didn't know they used his face as a speedbag.

You know why Mark Walberg's been hanging around Wild Card lately? He's doing a movie, I think the tentative title is "Fighter". He''ll be doing Mickey Ward. Mark's got all the talents at Wild Card playing bit parts foo shizzle...
