    I'm not really rooting for either one, though I do think Pacquiao is going to win.
    I don't consider myself a fan of either one of them.. They are both nice guys though.
    Pacquiao can annoy me with his ******ity (exc. signing two contracts with rival promoters & letting leaches benefit of him) but I think it would be better for boxing as a whole if he won. Ricky is at a point where he needs to win this fight though, it's all or nothing with no turning back.

    Really, I don't care who wins. I just want to see a good fight.
    Hopefully it lives up to the hype and we see a rematch to come along with it too.

      This fight is too big for me to stay "Neutral". I have to try and pick the winner and I have gone with PACMAN. Picking a side just makes this fight more interesting to watch. This ain't Friday Night Fights for crying out loud!

        I was thinking the same thing for the past few days which is why I asked. I keep going back and forth of who I may root for.

          I'm one of those guys who are pretty neutral, and cant decide who i want to win. If i was a betting man, i'd put my money on Pac, but i would be happy to see either guy win. Both have worked really hard to get to where they're at. Neither man took the easy route by ducking dangerous challenges in order to get to the top. I have equal respect for both fighters.

            Once the fight starts, don't you find yourself rooting for one or the other anyways?

            That happens to me all the time.

                I think in a way, it's a little easier to root for Pac than Hatton, but I also think Hatton may need this a little more than Pac as far as legacy. People are basically ****ting on him right now and being the underdog, it can possibly make you lean towards rooting for him, however; how do you root against Pac given all he has done in and outside the ring?


                I think the only solution for me is to either see a draw or to see a double KO


                Let the best Man win. I'm cool with whatever happens.
                I hope it is a Gatti-Ward type fight though.
                yeah, its tough to pick. I'm siding with Pac because Hatton holds a little too much for my taste even though he is still an aggressive guy.

                  As is the case with 9/10ths of all fights I watch I never have a rooting interest. If I'm rooting for anything it'd be a double knockout.

                      i'm not fully indifferent but i gotta admit this is not a mega-fight that has me all that amped

                      i'm swaying in Pacquiao's favour because I don't really like Hatton
