We popped down the gym today and did some training on the pads with Lee and went through some tactics with Floyd.
Then we had a nice surprise when my old mate Amir Khan and his agent, Asif Vali, dropped in to wish me well - even though he shares the same trainer as Manny Pacquiao, of course.
After that we were at the MGM Grand for the Hatton Grand Arrival, which will really kick-off the countdown. There I was sat in a stretch limo with Floyd, Lee Beard and our Matt.
And I have to say, with fight night still a few days off, the turnout was amazing.
Following that I did a gentle workout in the ring in the MGM Garden Arena itself before a quick coffee and back to the apartment to play cards.
The game was interrupted though, by a visit from my old mate from Granada TV, Mike Hall, with a DVD full of message from well-wishers from all walks of life.
There I was watching messages from the locals in our pub back home through to celebrities like Noel Gallagher, David Beckham and Paul O'Grady - I won't print what he suggested I do to Manny - right the way up to none other than the Prime Minister himself, Gordon Brown.
What a cracking way to end the day - I needed early night after that!
