Actually mate, it's 1-0 to PACMAN as what some boxing writers reported:
Round one in the battle with Hatton goes to Pacman

Ricky Hatton does not take on Manny Pacquiao until 2 May but, somewhat ominously for the Mancunian, round one in the build-up to what could be the defining fight of his career has gone to his opponent. The pair faced the public at the Trafford Centre in Manchester yesterday in an event designed to give Hatton momentum ahead of the Las Vegas showdown, but instead it was Pacquiao who arrived and departed to the more thunderous roars of approval.

There are some 200,000 Filipinos living in the United Kingdom and it felt as if the majority of them were in attendance to see the first appearance on these shores of the man widely regarded as being the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. They sung Pacquiao's name, cheered whenever a clip appeared on the large-screen television showing the 30-year-old pounding one of the 53 opponents he has faced in his career and held aloft banners proclaiming their love for the man who, in December, brutally ended the career of Oscar De La Hoya. Never have Hatton's band of supporters been so overwhelmed.

"I am amazed by the support I have been shown," a beaming Pacquiao said. "I did not expect it because this is Ricky's home town, where I know he is loved. I appreciate my supporters coming to see me."

There were cheers for Hatton, too, but he (Hatton) was the first to admit that the afternoon belonged to Pacquiao, who last year named his daughter Queen Elizabeth in tribute to the monarch.


Congrats to PAC fans in Manchester... Job well done...

Yeah MOD Mick... That's the spirit of being a fan... Even PAC was surprised and was very grateful for the tremendous support he got in Machester... You can't imagine this from happening right there in Hatton's hometown... Big moral win indeed for PAC...

Long live to the FANS!!!
