Thread: HELP! De La Hoya vs Pacquiao Tour

I read today that they will be doing a multi-city press tour to promote the fight. They will be in New York and I am definitely going to make the trip to see the festivities.

Does anyone know where I can get a tour schedule or any information on how these things work and how I can be a part of it? Is it a public event where I can just show up?

Any help or information is appreciated..

I dont think a concrete schedule is in place but you can def. check :: Golden Boy Promotions Inc. :: and as soon as they have a schedule it will be posted there....

The historic battle between Filipino ring idol and national treasure Manny Pacquiao and "The Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya will be launched beneath the statue on this island located in Upper New York bay on October 1, 2008...

A six-city tour of key United States cities—New York, Chicago, Houston, San Antonio, San Francisco and Los Angeles then follows...

I got the link the last time Mick. The schedule wasn't posted up when I checked a couple of days ago but it is up now. Thanks again.

I'm excited! Wednesday can't come soon enough! The easiest way to get to the Statue of Liberty is through Jersey City, New Jersey and I don't know if you guys know about that town. Jersey City is EASILY one of the most Filipino populated towns in America. Add that plus the numerous amounts in New York and I could only imagine how crazy that place is going to be!

I just lit some candles and prayed that I can manage to get Pacquiao to sign my glove when they're out here in LA.
Here's hoping....

Here's my boggle Mick. You more than anyone could give me an answer to this.

I saw in a local newspaper ad that there will be a meet and greet for Pacquiao in the hotel he's staying at after the press conference. It's $50 per head and I'm taking my girlfriend with me. Would it be worth it to buy the entrance fee for the meet and greet? How good a chance will I get to be able to meet him at the press conference itself so I don't have to go to the meet and greet?

Skip the $100 dlls. your gonna pay for the meet and greet...

Your chances at meeting him at the Press Conf. are good. But you gotta be on the ball.
Eyes open, camera ready or whatever else...
I've never payed for a single autograph or picture I've gotten and you shouldn't either.
But like I said you gotta be ready and you gotta be awake.
Look for open oppourtunities and talk with people sometimes the same organizers will let you in and have press packages if you just ask nicely.

As you've seen in my blog there's no need to pay any fee, you more then payed for it with all the PPV you've bought and support that you've shown many fighters.

Keep posted to my blog gonna add some new stuff to it right now.
