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

[brucelee]

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.

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.

I would define a boxing fan as someone who watches fights all the time and who has the ability to discuss a wide range of fighters from different eras, weight classes and nations. I really don't think boxing is a way of life for most people in the Philippines. Of course, there are boxing fans, but most people just know Manny Pac and that is where the knowledge ends. Perhaps they will know the name Morales or Marquez or Barrera, but they won't be able to discuss those fighters in any depth when challenged. Same in the UK when it comes to British fighters, but then I wouldn't describe boxing as a way of life in the UK!

LOL. I violently disagree Miles. Boxing is also a way of life in UK.

I stand corrected then.

PAC batters British sparring partner...

"MANNY Pacquiao continued to batter his sparring partners and, according to Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, is in high spirits.

“Pacquiao almost knocked out the first guy [whose name he couldn’t recall] and literally the kid was out on his feet. He was ready to go down,” said Ariza, who described the sparring partner as “a real tough kid from England. A big kid, who had to be about 155 to 160 pounds.”

The conditioning expert, who helped trainer Freddie Roach prepare Pacquiao for his fights against World Boxing Council lightweight champion David Diaz and later against Oscar de la Hoya last Dec. 6, said the sparring partner, who went four rounds with Pacquiao, had a good record.

“He was pretty popular because the press knew who he was and they interviewed him in the beginning,” said Ariza, who added members of the media told him the British fighter had “a brilliant winning career, but had hand surgery sometime ago.”

Hatton might as well just give up now, eh?

[boxer1234]

Pacquiao has never faced anyone as large, explosive with a bull like brawler style that Hatton possess. Theres a good chance there will be an upset.

That said my money is on Manny because it will spoil future fights for sure

Do you think so?? ... Hatton can't back out anymore, he already signed the fight contract... Too late...

He can manufacture some injury though...

This seems to be the most logical advice to Hatton before that PAC fight... (joke)
