I know they called 'PRESS CONFERENCES' but i always thought public could attend?

I reckon it would be well worth the trip:

1) Because Ricky is my favourite active fighter.
(A view shared by about 90% of British boxing fans.)
2) Mayweather confrences can be explosive, entertaining & a
a whole lot can happen in 20 mins!!!
3) This isn't just another fight, this is potential boxing history,
For those fans, like myself, who would sell their souls to be there but
have no chance, this is as close as u can get to taking part or
bein there.
4) With Hatton returning to Manchester, accompanied by his greatest
adversary, the atmosphere is going to be Euphoric, Hate filled and
excited all at once.
5) In Manchester of all places there is the risk of a brawl

I agree with most of this, but #5 you can get in Manchester every Saturday night

Called the o2 in london and was just told that it is a completelly private event? I was always under the impression these things had members of the public there? Also in Manchester Ricky Hatton is advertising for people to turn up for him for the Manchester press conference on Friday? So whats the deal? Are the o2 lying to me? I also seem to remember Floyd cussing Oscar on nearly every press conference saying 'Oscar won't sign autographs for y'all but i'll stay here all day signing autographs for my fans!!'
Thats pissed me off, when else is Floyd Mayweather gonna be in England!?

Why would you want to go to see Mayweather? An Englishman has the chance to dethrone the p4p #1 best boxer in the world, who just happens to be a disrespectful little prick, and you want to get behind Mayweather?

Because Floyd Mayweather inspired me to get into boxing. I didn't even like boxing (after the Benn/Eubank era) until I watched a Floyd Mayweather workout video and I was instantly hooked by his intensity. Then I watched him box and that was it, I was a boxing fan.
Incidently, I think you are what's wrong with most sports fans in this country (i say most because I really am generalising here). I call it blind patriotism. Makes some of you extremely biased in your posting (again generalising, there are some Hatton fans who give genuine arguement as to why they think he can beat Floyd and you have my respect). Yeah i'm British and proud..but I put that aside when I make an assesment of somebodies skills. I don't favour someone for where they are from nor would I root for a fighter that doesn't entertain me over a fighter that i'm inspired by purely based on heritage. Aren't you the guy who called me and other fans of international boxers 'traitor' in another thread? So be it, but here's a nice fuck you from me. Floyd is p4p because he deserves to be there and I don't feel Hatton does. So sorry Mr UK but i'm getting behind my boy Floyd in this one.
