Who do you think the fans will support?

[kinghippo]

The people on this board seem pretty evenly split on who they like in the Hitman/Pac-man battle.

Who do you think the crowd in Las Vegas will support?

Hatton? Pacquiao? or evenly split?

I think the crowd will back Hatton (slightly). I think he has gotten a little more fanfare in his US fights than Pacquiao has, although many of Pac-man's opponents had long become household names making them appeal more to the casual fans.

Thoughts?

[Kel]

About 60-40 in Pacs favour at the actual venue and probably about the same on these boards.

[Saddo]

can't see that many Hatton fans going over for this... could be wrong but with the ramped up ticket prices and the pound to dollar rate... its an expensive event for even the hard core hatton fans.

[Youngblood]

Pac fans will be 80 % louder.

Hatton fans 82.4% drunker.

[JazMerkin]

I think Hatton will have the edge although probably only about 60-40. However, I think the sheer noise & hostility of the Hatton fans will make it seem like more. I am curious how many from this board are going to support Pac, I know that there are a few guys goin over to support Hatton, but wondering what kind of response Pacquiao is getting in ticket sales

Good point. Any Pac fans going from here or are you all armchair supporters/glory supporters?

That about says it all.

[Kirkland Laing]

Hatton will have the band there and enough singing fans that it'll seem like it's in Manchester. Even if the venue is majority Manny fans they'll be a lot quieter.

[BoomBoom]

I expect the Fillipino fans will support Manny.

[Kel]

I expect the Fillipino fans will support Manny.

What are they all gonna chip in and buy a ferry? I doubt it would be affordable to most in his homeland.

[XaduBoxer]

I expect the Fillipino fans will support Manny.

Many Mexican fans supported Manny in the Hoya fight... Many Americans I think will support Manny against Hatton... Remember Sugar Ray Leonard, Winky Wright, Lennox Lewis said Manny is their favorite boxer...

So I think in the venue, (Filipinos + Mexicans + Americans) > British Hatton fans ...

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...

I would expect more fans to be there for Pacquiao (US & Philippines) but the fewer Hatton fans will most likely be louder.... It's gonna be interesting to see if Hatton fans can egg on the Pac fans...

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