Do you think PAC will inflict the worst beating ever on Hatton?

Boxer Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines (L) gestures as Ricky Hatton's (2nd R) trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr (C) speaks at a press conference on March 30, 2009 at the Roosevelt Hotel in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles to promote their upcoming World Championship showdown. The May 2 fight in Las Vegas is being billed as "The Battle of East and West."




Fans of Filipino boxing sensation Manny Pacquiao try to greet their idol on March 30, 2009 at the Roosevelt Hotel in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles for a media "meet and greet" to promote the upcoming World Championship showdown between Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton of Great Britain.


Wherever they go, be it in Manchester (UK), London (UK), Hollywood-Los Angeles (USA) or Las Vegas (USA), PAC fans outnumbered Hatton fans...

hmmm - Hatton wasn't outnumbered in Manchester, though they were shocked by the amount of Manny fans there. ofcourse he'll be outnumbered in LA or LV for now - they won't be flying over until next month. ridiculous - I reckon inside the arena where the noise will help the most it'll be Hatton fans that outnumber Manny's. He may have all the Filos behind him but how many are going to pay for the ticket or PPV compared to Brits?

Thanks for the info... I thought PAC fans outnumbered Hatton fans in Manchester since PAC just renamed "Manchester" to "Mannychester"... lol

Hope PAC will keep the tradition and will shock Hatton fans once again on fight night...

I accept, that Vegas thing still remains to be seen but basing it to the turn-out in every press tour and "meet and greet" from UK to USA, PAC fans has the number...

Pac has the numbers but the question is - do pac fans know how to make a good racket like hatton fans can? My point is if the pac fans outnumbered the Hatton fans 2 to 1 but the Hatton fans made much more noise for the entire fight then which set of fans is better?

The difference between both sets of fans (in my opinion) is that Hatton's fans are genuine boxing fans and are DEDICATED to following the hitman where as alot of the pac fans (seemingly 95% of the Fillipines...) come across as casual fans who are more interested in the man himself than the sport he's competing in.. riding the bandwagon I guess you could call it.

Time for a bit of peacemaking......

Forget about Roach's predictions and Mayweather Snr's mouth, listen to 2 genuinely nice guys talk about the fight, could learn a thing or two chaps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcA7xJG1rLU

It's gonna be crazy. I would say crowd will be split 50/50. But Hatton fans will be louder because they're more organized.

I beg to disagree. FYI, boxing is a way of life in the Philippines.


I don't know how you would define boxing fans though.


When Manny fights, the whole country(Phillipines) watch it. Expected crime rate is zero during his fights.
