Pacquiao & Hatton April 30 Update

I’ve checked out for some new resources and stumbled into a few good ones. Pacquiao and Hatton had arrived at Las Vegas just yesterday and had a very interesting press conference. A lot of people came to watch and even make a report about the conference. Quite a lot of stories to tell but I’ll just try to mix them all up.Its been a known routine that boxing parties tend to get rough in a news conference as they brag about their fighters. But this one seems to be different as the situations have changed. Its not the coaches that are bragging about their fighters but the coaches themselves who are arguing amongst themselves. Despite of this, both parties are still calm and just accept it all as it is part of the routine. Though it can’t be helped that sometimes one of them gets angry. Freddie Roach admits that it does sometimes angry him of being called cockroach as Mayweather mentioned during the conference, he said after the news conference. It turned out to be a fight between the coaches. Mayweather Sr. – coach of Ricky Hatton, had said a very interesting statement,

“Pac-man, it’s over. So stop wishing on that four-leaf clover.”

“Ain’t no secret. I hope you know. It’s Hit Man Hatton by KO.”

And they say that there is poetry in these news conferences. I find it hard to appreciate in what they had been saying.

On another note, the swine flu has been causing fear to everyone but the fight will proceed as it was scheduled. Pacquiao admits that he himself fears of getting the flu, he promised himself that he’d be doing a lot of handwashing during the fight week.

For the fight, there would be thousands of fans who would be flying in to watch the match. There would probably even Mexicans who will be watching the match as Mexico’s Humberto Soto will put his WBC super featherweight crown on the line against Canadian Benoit Gaudet. And two other Mexicans will be fighting in undercard bouts. There is no doubt that there would be fans coming in.

In the Philippine Inquirer, Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said that whenever Manny Pacquiao would be coming home to the Philippines, he will have to undergo the same screening processes as everybody had undergone.
