It might be a split, but I'll root for Hatton this time. He definitely has the edge against Manny. He's someone who just don't sit there and be a punching bag. If he keeps this trick, no doubt he'll knock out Manny in the 5th round. I saw his videos and I think he is better than Manny Pacquiao. Hatton go for it!
sh*t... dude! you obviously never did any drinking with Filipinos..... half these guys don't even get a buzz with a blood alcohol level of 1.4...;DQuote:

I'm for Pacquiao all the way but I really want to see a good fight...

I'm not much of a drinker either, but I have had a few sessions with the boys in the Philippines with my 8 years there...Quote:

I wouldn't be shocked if a draw was the outcome to see Pacquiao/Hatton drinking match..... hell we might even see a promo.....;D
Forum-wise, I think there are an equal amount of Hatton-groupies and Pacfans.
Come fight night, I've always said this, the arena will be absolutely bonkers. Pac and Hatton have the most vocal followings in the boxing world. Imagine listening to "There's only one Ricky Hatton" with a "Manny, Manny, Manny" chant combating it. That's what I expect to hear.
There are a lot of Filipinos in the US. Especially in Cali, New York, and New Jersey. In the US, Filipinos usually work in the health field, the majority of them nurses so a lot of them are financially stable. The Philippines itself is still considered a poor country, but Filipino's in the US are on a different boat which is who comprises most of Pacquiao's audience during his fights.Quote:

How many seats does the MGM arena have? If only half the people rumoured to have booked flights from the UK attend the fight them I'm pretty sure the Brits have the advantage.
The football fan mentality of the Hatton fans means a lot of chanting and singing. Even if out numbered 2 to 1 by the Pac fans I still think the Brits will make more noise.
I've booked to go already, 6 blokes in our party. As already said though the ticket prices are rediculous, think we're all settling for the weigh-in and the fight on CCTV at the MGM
The website says it holds aprox 16,800 people. I am going w/ 4 people...2 sitting in the L224 and 2 sitting in U19. I have never been but hope they are good seats - they better be for the price.
