It's never ending and always the same.
And yea, he can do what he likes. I don't mind most of it, but it gets tiresome. Just saying my thoughts.
And trying to give a perspective from someone who actually roots for Pac on the subject, likes pac and isn't philipino, but not so much the ceaseless antagonism.

can just imagine the scene 10,000+ roaring "theres only one ricky hatton" "engerland, engerland, engerland" etc and little old you stood there with your pacman t-shirt chanting "manny, manny, manny" over and over again.
They`ll chew you up and spit you out before the 1st undercard fight is done ;D;D;D

Remember the mexicans and puerto ricans driving me mad last summer over cotto/margarito to the point of utter annoyance. I can now share their pain and apologise to all who we are driving mad
I will support Hatton on this but i still think Pac will win. But i just want Hatton to win so Pac fans can STFU.
I just wanna see a great fight. The anticipation is killing me. I like Ricky Hatton as I'm a big fan of body shots but I think Pac would win and he has my bet. Like the Filipino fans I would be yelling "money! money! money!" ;D
I guess the Pacquiao fans are gonna ignore my question on how many of them are actually going to the fight??
Its not got some sinister undertone where I will hunt you down & kill you pre-fight, it might just gave a basic indication of the support that will be going ;D
Also Thomson Local announced that they have had nearly 10,000 bookings going out to Las Vegas from the UK during the week preceding the fight. They stated their average per week was usually at a top level of about 800, so that might give the indication that a lot of Hatton fans will be there. That's just one holiday provider & not who I booked mine through
I will be interested to see how Manny copes at the weigh-in against the hostility he will no doubt get (not from me because I ain't getting into all that booing him shit), Mayweather was able to feed of it because that's what he does, but Pacquiao is not used to not being the popular fighter (even against ODLH whose fans aren't anywhere near as agressive as Hatton's).
I don't think there are many Pac fans in this forum that will support him by going to Vegas but tell you what I am shocked by the population of Filipinos here in San Jose. There were a lot of them back in Hawaii but damn they are just everywhere. I heard there is a million of them in Califronia alone. So regarding the local support, I think Pac has a solid one.Quote:

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...
haha no. Honestly never drank more then a few times period. So we could prob safely call my statement pulled right outta my ass. :pQuote:

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:
