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

[XaduBoxer]

Betting odds still growing in gap in favor of Pacquiao...

"Pacquiao is currently a -280 favorite and it’s tough to argue against those boxing odds; he has power, even against a bigger fighter, and the type of speed that has given Hatton lots of trouble in the past. Hatton will be hungry to avenge his last loss, but Pacquiao should be just as hungry, as many boxing betting sharps believe Mayweather Jr. will come out of retirement to fight Pacquiao should he win this bout. If you’re confident in Hatton’s training and mental game entering this fight, you could take a flier on him at +220, but the smart money is on Manny Pacquiao this Saturday."

You have to bet $280 on PAC in order to win $100... While a $100 bet on Hatton will win $220...

I’m prepared, ready to go – Pacquiao

LAS VEGAS — Holding court in his swanky suite at the 60th floor of The Hotel at Mandalay Bay moments after arriving here Monday night, Manny Pacquiao spoke the language of supreme confidence as he revs up for the biggest bout of his life – a crossroads clash with British banger Ricky Hatton – this weekend at the nearby MGM Grand.

“I have done my part in training and I will just make sure that I maintain this condition until the fight,” Pacquiao told Manila-based scribes. “I am prepared for whatever Hatton brings to the ring.”

It is common knowledge that Pacquiao loves opponents who rush inside but in the event Hatton decides to box from a distance – or even engage him in close quarters combat complete with roughhousing – the pound-for-pound king insists he is ready.

“The people know that my style is in-and-out fighting, waiting for the right time to deliver the power shots but I am also prepared to engage him at close range as I trained heavily for that kind of situation,” said Pacquiao.
It’s been anticipated that Hatton will not waste time in attempting to get his licks in as soon as possible but Pacquiao is optimistic that his quickness and overall skills will frustrate the Manchester native.

Still, Pacquiao politely declines to say at what stage of the fight he will pull the plug on Hatton’s bid.

“It’s hard to say and it’s not for me to say what will happen. Let’s just let our fists do all the talking,” said Pacquiao, who rode in his Lincoln Navigator with wife Jinkee in the 300-mile journey to Sin City from Hollywood.

Pacquiao completed his sparring session earlier in the day in Los Angeles, going four rounds with Uzbek Alisher Rahimov and David Rodela, to rack up 149 sparring rounds since he started banging bodies in the third week of March.

Pacquiao is a -270 favorite, while Hatton is +230, meaning a $270 bet on Pacquiao will win just $100, and a $100 wager on Hatton will win $230.
Meanwhile, formal arrival rites take place Tuesday at noon for Pacquiao at the Mandalay Bay, while Hatton will have his at the neighboring MGM Grand at 1:30 p.m.

The press conference will follow on Wednesday and Friday will be the official weighin.

Ricky's spy, Amir Khan was there (boxer Bernabe Concepcion in the background) ...

Manny could do with a shave. He should just knock out Amir Khan for a bit of pre fight fun as well.

I think there's no more sparring from this time until fight night (lucky Amir )... Remaining trainings are only light workouts...

Some little problems of Hatton outside the ring... Early excuses??

I don't know if we can give too much credence to a few lines printed by The Sun, but if it is unfortunate timing if it is indeed true.

How are they excuses? It's not as if he's complaining he's injured or something. Imagine all the interviews he's done leading up to this fight, and how many cameras/microphones he's had shoved in his face. And the thing about Hatton is he generally talks to members of the media as if they are just everyday people, and if a reporter were to ask him if he misses England I can well imagine that would be the kind of response he would give. He's no Mayweather Jnr. - I don't think I've ever heard him talk shit on camera, he generally says what he means. This is one of the reasons so many people like him in Britain - apart from being a World Champion, and therefore a symbol of British pride, he is also genuinely a nice bloke, a family man who is down to earth, still lives in the same area he grew up in, goes to the same pub, etc. It is just the Sun trying to sell papers, tbh, nothing more, nothing less. I've never heard Hatton making excuses, even at times when personally I thought he had a right to.
