Pacquiao would start the promotional tour in Hatton’s hometown of Manchester on March 1, after which he would travel to London and then return to the US for additional stops in New York and San Francisco.
British boxing fans, what are your thoughts of the no. 1 pound-for-pound boxer on the planet visiting your place soon??
;)
.
No British boxing fans around?? What are your thoughts on PAC's visit to your place?? ;)
.
I'd be more exited if he was fghting over here but I might pop down London to see him.
Do you think British boxing fans will boo PAC during the Manchester/London tour? ;)Quote:

Some may, but I certainly won't. Don't look into booing as a sign of disrespect, it's mainly his fellow Manchester City fans just taking their football/soccer mindset into another sport. I'm not a football fan though and Manny is a boxing superstar and like many I will be cheering for the event.Quote:

if your gonna be there anyway you may as well and it's a great experience interviewing your fave fighters!!! trust me;)
Yeah I'll deffo be there. I'll have my car by then and Manchester is 30 mins away from me if that. I wouldn't miss it for the world. Especially as I'm not going to the fight in Vegas :( I'm gonna take a glove and see if they'll both sign it too.Quote:

And thanks, I might just PM Saddo and see what he can do. I'm be more than happy to ask a few questions.
Fans in Manchester and London are lucky... JUst read that the US promotional stops in New York and San Francisco were scrapped... :(

While I'm at the Manchester one do you want me to tell Pacquiao you worship him and would one day love to have sexual interaction with him from behind ?Quote:

Tomatoes is a bit far mate. I know the English have got a reputation when it comes to Hatton's fights but they wouldn't dare throw an object at the opposition. The worst would be booing and a load of verbal insults ;DQuote:

But I tell you one thing if he loses I'm glad he loses to a boxer like Pacquiao. Who is flashy, exciting and doesn't talk shit. Unlike PBF. His fans are respectful as well.
Likewise. I'm glad we're still having mutual respect bro. Goodluck to our fighters.Quote:

I'm also very confident on my boy...
But like what you feel, losing to the man at 140 is no shame at all ...
May the best man wins...
Very confident on Pac winning UD,he is just to fast for Hatton. Whats next for Pacman after Hatton???
I am looking forward to the promotional tour that will be held in London and Manchester this weekend as I have received tons of emails from English boxing fans, who are one of the most passionate in the world. Even if it’s going to be hostile territory for me–as Ricky Hatton comes from this boxing-crazy country–I know that I will enjoy every minute of my brief stay there as I have heard a lot of great things about England, its notable people, its amazing culture and its proud history. After my trip to England, I will proceed to Los Angeles so I could kick off my preparation for Ricky Hatton, who is one of the world’s most exciting fighters. Hatton is a very dangerous opponent as I have seen most of his high-caliber fight on video and you cannot take somebody like him lightly. This is going to be a big challenge for me. This early, I am confident in saying that I will train harder for Hatton and I won’t be surprised if I end up in a much better shape than when I fought the legendary Oscar De La Hoya last December. Once I report for training camp at the Wild Card under my very capable trainer Freddie Roach, my sole focus will be training. I will be eating, breathing and living Ricky Hatton from the day I start my training camp. I assure fight fans that when I get into the ring on May 2, I am going to show my best–as always–and ours will be an explosive and exciting fight. And most importantly, I am dedicating this important fight to my beloved countrymen and to all boxing fans from around the world.

I dunno whether to drive now GAME. I might just get the train from Liverpool Lime Street as I get free train travel. I'm sure you'll find a space tho, the Trafford Centre is huge.
BTW if any Saddo's see a white scouse kid shouting abuse at Pacquiao wearing an Everton FC top that will be me ;D feel free to say hello.
I almost want to go to see you and GAME getting escorted from the trafford centre;D;DQuote:

Yeah Im at the gym tomorrow but I think this warrants giving it a miss for once.
Im gonna ask the lads who Im out with tonight if they are up for doing Manchester in the morning but if not then I'll have to f*k it off. I'll only end up getting escorted off again like I was at the Lewis fight anyway so its probably wise.
I wana make sure Im available to see Barrera smash Khans face in!

The PACMAN has landed in United Kingdom!!
http://philboxing.com/news/pix/pac.i...al.01.330w.jpg
LONDON, ENGLAND -- Four-time world champion Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, General Santos, Philippines is greeted by bellman at the Grosvenor House hotel as he arrives in downtown London for a mega UK media tour to announce his upcoming World Jr. Welterweight championship fight against Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton, Manchester, England on Saturday, May 2 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pacquiao and Hatton will stop first in Manchester Saturday to hold a press rally at the Trafford Center-Great Hall along with a friendly darts competition later in the day. On Sunday, Pacquiao will tour London followed by a press conference Monday at the Imperial War Museum.

i am taking my daughter there tomorrow, hoping i can get some good pics. she is excited as she met calzaghe & he was really friendly with us. dunno if gonna be that lucky as gonna be busy, buncey said there could be 10,000 there, i know he talks sum rubbish sometimes but its a bloody saturday at lunch time gonna be heaving.
for selfish reasons wish it wasnt a saturday.
Not during the London tour...god the fans were so boring in the auditorium the day Hatton and Mayweather were in town. (Then again it was supposed to be media only).Quote:

I'd like to see Manny and Ricky again - If it's in the o2 arena again I'll drive down there and check it out.
i imagine there will be a lot of people there but not specifically for the conference - i imagine there will be loads out doing shopping and then realise hatton is there and hang around - so it will be fn packed!
so? anyone go?
yeah just got back it wasnt all that the lunch hall is pretty badlly set out, there is a friggin water pool in front of the stage so pushes everyone back even further, wasnt a very good atmosphere think all hatton fans must of been hungover not much chanting really the pac fans were defo much more into it.Quote:

so all in all pretty shite
