Lol!
I dont think there will be there wasnt alot of press coverage for the head to head,against Floyd it was live, been watching sky sports and setanta today but they havent even mentioned it:confused:. So i doubt they will of turned up for the darts game.
There was nearly as many Pac fans there as Hattons which i didnt expect where the hell did they all come from:confused:.I Didnt go to see it but thats what people r saying on Rickys site.
yeah i went to the trafford centre and it was packed with manny fans - still had a good time though and got an auto from freddie roach which was nice. where was the darts match held and did they show the presser live on sky sports?
It wasnt on sky sports at all.Darts match was held at the New Inn in Manchester.Quote:

But how is he supposed to beat a guy who lives in a pub? :p
According to Manny he loves playing darts and plays all the time.
Think they showed in him in the countdowns or 24/7s playing darts several times...
Would love to see footage of this I'm sure it will surface somewhere today.
Guys, correct me if I'm wrong. Pacquiao is a lefty, I know he signs autographs with his right hand. But I heard he also throw darts with his right hand?
Look very similar in size.
Both class acts, pictures are saying to big to put on the site so heres the link, looks like they ahd a good time.

Ricky is double chinned. He needs that extra chin against Manny. ;D

I just hope Hatton makes 140 with no problem.
Mayweather Sr looks like a pimp in those pics & Hatton looks more than a bit overweight to me, with 8 weeks left till the fight, I'd like to see him a bit less fleshy right now
I think Ricky looks in good nick he usually much bigger than that, people think Ricky is actully bigger than he is he puts alot of weight on his face even as little as a week after the fight look at some of the shots of him throwing the darts he looks pretty good, well if you think hes bad there go take a look back between the Collzao and Urango fight fuck me he muct of been close to 14 stone at one stage, Hatton never has any problems with his weight.
a few pics from the darts games. http://teampilipinas.info/2009/02/hatton-vs-pacquiao-playing-darts-photos.html
Yes he does throw with his right hand.Quote:

Was it just one leg of darts? If so 16 dart leg when just playing one is quite impressive, must be a decent player Hatton.
Just watched the video, theres definately a mutual respect between Ricky and Manny. Its refreshing to see two professionals promote a fight without all the sh@t talking and disrespecting each other.
Thanks for the link.Quote:

You know I'm not into playing darts.
Matter a fact I aint got a fucken clue as to what the purpose is of a 501 game or 301 (which I didn't even know were names of games) :(
I stabbed a guy with a dart one time. Apparently it hurts alot.
Hatton may have a double chin, but he looks in really good condition this far out. He's usually significantly larger. It's a postitive.
And the darts win was a no brainer. ;D

Hopefully it'll be 2-0 after the fight. I like Manny, but I'd love to see Hatton get this one. Still well unsure though.
Mayweather sr read out quite an amusing poem about why he was a better trainr than roach at the presser - to which freddie ran up to the mike and asked why sr wasn't in the hall of fame! i gotta say freddie was the man today signed autos for a shedload of people and posed for a ton of pics.
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...

This is brilliant despite Pac having loss in the darts game SOMEHOW Pac fans find a way to counter it and "try" to turn it around.Quote:

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!!!
